  • Lightweight and effective
Pattern Name: Bakuchiol Serum Extra Strength - ...
I am absolutely in love with HERBIVORE's Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative! As someone who has sensitive skin and has been cautious about using traditional retinol, this was a perfect alternative. My fine lines and wrinkles, especially around my eyes and forehead, have definitely softened, and my skin feels plumper and more radiant. It’s incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated—not greasy or sticky. ... show more

  • One of the products I always have to have
Pattern Name: Bakuchiol Serum Extra Strength - ...
My skin is super sensitive and temperamental and retinoids absolutely wreak havoc on my skin. I’m 41 and this is the time where I NEED to have very specific anti-aging products in my routine. Every single retinol product I’ve used, even prescribed, have just completely backfired. I did a lot of research and came across this product as an alternative. I’m not kidding you when I say that from the time I started using this particular product (there are a LOT of Bakuchiol products on the market) to now, my skin is noticeably smoother, refined, more lifted and firmer. After washing my face using a two step method with first using an oil cleanser to remove makeup and then going into my face wash, this is the first thing I apply to my skin after patting my face dry. I use 3 pumps, apply to my entire face and neck and then I use a derma roller after applying to push and massage all the product into my skin. I’ll let that sit for about 10-15 mins before applying following serums I’m alternating between and then apply my moisturizer as my last step. I’ve been through 3 bottles at this point. There was a period between bottle 2 and 3 where I lapsed in repurchasing and my skin started looking tired, dull, noticeably less firm and my forehead lines and under eyes became more pronounced. I knew I needed to repurchase and within a week all those things were rectified. It’s not harsh, smells amazing, feels great to apply, and works wonders. It’s a staple in my skincare. If you don’t tolerate retinoids or don’t want leap into that realm, get this product instead. It works, it’s worth the price, it’s amazing. ... show more

  • Great for sensitive skin
Pattern Name: Bakuchiol Serum Extra Strength - ...
I'm a working mom of a feral toddler and I needed this serum. I love that it's quick and easy to apply since time for myself is very limited. Very lightweight and has a nice smooth texture. My skin type gets dry in both winter and summer months so this absorbed quickly and noticeably got at some of my dry patches. If I can't squeeze in a shower I make the effort to at least wash my face, pat dry with clean towel then use this at the first step for my skincare routine. I'm very cautious of the ingredients I use on my skin and lean towards vegan, I don't like the thought of using anything with animal byproducts on my face. I use a pump each time so it should last me awhile. ... show more

  • Gentle yet effective
Pattern Name: Bakuchiol Serum Extra Strength - ...
I was looking for a gentler alternative to traditional retinol, and this serum delivers noticeable results without the irritation that often comes with stronger retinoids. The texture is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin, making it easy to layer with other products. Since using this, I’ve noticed that my skin feels smoother and looks more refined. Fine lines, especially around my forehead and mouth, appear softened, and my complexion looks more even. The addition of peptides seems to help with firmness, giving my skin a more plumped-up look. I also appreciate that it doesn’t dry out my skin or cause flaking like some retinol products I’ve used in the past. Another thing I love is that it’s plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, which aligns with my preference for cleaner skincare. The scent is light and pleasant—not overpowering—which makes applying it a nice part of my nighttime routine. While it takes some time to see full results, the overall improvement in texture and hydration makes this a product I’d repurchase. If you have sensitive skin or just want a more natural alternative to retinol, this serum is definitely worth trying. It’s gentle yet effective, and the ingredient list is impressive. The only downside is the price, as it’s on the higher end, but considering the quality and results, I think it’s a worthwhile investment. ... show more

  • what is this scent?
Pattern Name: Bakuchiol Serum Extra Strength - ...
overall, it seems to be a decent serum. i just, personally, cannot stomach the smell. it’s such an odd scent & with it being on the face, it’s all i can smell. it helped make my skin soft & smooth, as well as hydrated, but i just couldn’t handle the scent.

  • WARNING ⚠️ Moon Dew gave me swollen eyelids and weeping eczema
Pattern Name: Bakuchiol Eye Cream - 15 mL / 0.5 oz
I ordered Moon Dew eye cream July 26. I noticed the label for the ingredients was VERY evasive, they don’t actually show the ingredients that are in this product. Yet and still, I put the cream under my eyes. Didn’t take long because my skin started feeling queasy, like something wasn’t quite right. Took about twenty minutes of feeling uncomfortable and I noticed skin under my eyes felt completely DRIED OUT! What happened to develop was a painful redness that went all over my forehead, eyelids and corners of my eyes! I was shocked but that wasn’t the worst thing to happen. I woke up next day and my eyelids were so SWOLLEN that I could barely open my eyes! And what I had developed on my eyelids and now my cheek area too , was a WEEPING ECZEMA! It was very painful! I threw the product into the trash! I tried to cooperate with Herbivore as I’ve sent them an email explaining what happened, and asked for a refund, They did not even respond to my email so I had no choice but to write this review as a WARNING to others who have sensitive skin, eczema or dermatitis prone skin, or just people who care about what ingredients they are using on their skin! ... show more
