GETTING TO KNOW BAKUCHIOL
Bakuchiol (pronounced “bah-koo-chee-ol”) is a naturally derived/ plant based retinol-alternative which helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while sealing in hydration.
Derived from the Ayurvedic Babchi plant, Bakuchiol has the same collagen-stimulating benefits of retinol and the ability to visibly plump and firm skin. It has been compared as a gentle and safe alternative to retinol which can be harsh on sensitive skin, helping to improve cell turnover with the power of natural botanicals.
Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types, Bakuchiol works with the skin to refine the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture and supporting collagen production and skin elasticity for bright, plump and smooth skin. It can also brighten skin tone and reduce pigmentation.

HOW AND WHEN SHOULD I USE IT?
Apply your Transforming Bakuchiol Face Oil in the evening 3x a week (increasing to every night). Gently massage 3-4 drops into cleansed skin (after serum if using).
We recommend applying serums, oils, and moisturizers from the lightest to the thickest consistency to allow the skin to absorb each product thoroughly before layering on the next.
For those with oily skin this may be enough hydration, while those with normal to dry skin should follow with your face cream.
