What Is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient from the seeds of the babchi plant. It is often called a plant-based retinol alternative because it targets similar concerns, such as the look of fine lines and wrinkles, but it is not a retinoid. In this serum it is paired with turmeric and holy basil in a two-layer formula that you shake together before each use.
Who Is It For?
Choose this serum if fine lines, wrinkles or a loss of radiance are your main concerns, or if you want a plant-based alternative to retinol. It suits all skin types. If your skin is sensitive, patch test first.

How To Use
Shake well to combine the two layers.
Apply a thin layer to clean face and neck.
Follow with your moisturiser.
Use morning or evening. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Bakuchiol Serum FAQs
Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?
No. Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient, not a retinoid. It is called a retinol alternative because it targets similar concerns, such as the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Why do I need to shake it?
It is a dual-phase serum, so the essence and the moisturising serum sit in separate layers. Shake well before each use to combine them.
Can I use it with a vitamin C serum?
Yes. A simple way to use both is Acure Brightening 2% Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid Serum in the morning, finished with sunscreen, and this serum in the evening.
