How it delivers

The Skin Formulas Bakuchiol Serum delivers powerful anti-ageing benefits in a gentle, plant-based form, helping to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin firmness, tone, and overall texture. It supports a more even, radiant complexion and works to boost hydration while enhancing the skin’s natural resilience, making it ideal for those looking for retinol-like results without irritation.

How it feels

It feels like a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that melts effortlessly into the skin without heaviness or residue. The texture is silky and soothing, leaving the skin feeling hydrated, calm, and refreshed. It layers easily into both morning and evening routines and sits comfortably under other skincare and makeup.

How it works

This serum works using bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol that stimulates natural collagen and elastin production while supporting cellular renewal. It helps smooth skin texture, improve elasticity, and restore radiance, while also delivering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to calm redness and support overall skin health. Over time, it promotes a firmer, brighter, more even complexion with improved clarity and resilience.

Apply two pumps to the face, neck and décolletage after using our Hydra Serum. We recommend applying the serum once every 2 days for the first 3 weeks. If you experience no sensitivity during this time, you can apply it daily, both am and pm. Use Bakuchiol Serum before Vit C or Vit A, or as an alternative.

Where does it fit in my routine?

Apply after cleansing and hydra serum, and before moisturiser, as a targeted treatment step within your skincare ritual.

Bakuchiol Serum

The perfect retinol alternative. I love this serum and could see the positive impact on my skin quite quickly. Would highly recommend and good value too!

I love this product, I can see the difference in my skin and I find that I don’t need a lot of moisturiser, I would have been using more cream with my old one, love your products ❤️

Bakuchiol Serum

Skin feels better after a week

Bakuchiol Serum

I adore the Bakuchiol serum. I’ve used a number of different retinol serums, some were good, some did nothing, and some made my skin react really badly. But this serum is so gentle and yet has given me better results than any retinol. Amazing product.

Bakuchiol · Retinol Alternative Serum - 50ml

I love this product and wouldn’t be without it. I use it in combination with Skin Formulas Oatfoliant, Skin mist, Hydra (Bronze) & Vit C. My face & neck look & feel so much more hydrated & healthier with a glow.

Bakuchiol · Retinol Alternative Serum - 50ml

Within a few days of using the Bakuchiol · Retinol Alternative Serum my skin is in so much better condition than it has been in years. It’s amazing! I’ve had 3 pregnancies and have been breastfeeding for almost 8 years so my skin was very dehydrated and wrinkles were getting more obvious by the day. Desperate to find something to help with this while searching for an alternative to retinol, as it’s not recommended during lactation, I came across this serum and took a chance. I have not been disappointed at all. I would highly recommend it.

Bakuchiol · Retinol Alternative Serum - 50ml

Love it! Really lightweight formula that feels lovely on the skin. Doesn't feel like it's sitting on top of your skin like a lot of retinol products. Excited to see if I'll get the same results from bakuchiol as retinol but really hoping I do!

Bakuchiol · Retinol Alternative Serum - 50ml

Store owner replied: Rachel, thank you so much for your kind words!

Started using this product about 4 weeks ago and am so impressed! Have seen a huge improvement in pigmentation and the general appearances of my skin. Fine lines are definitely less visible. Would highly recommend this product and will definitely be repurchasing

Bakuchiol · Retinol Alternative Serum - 50ml

A lovely alternative to retinol. the tecture is rich but goes on really easily and dries very quickly into the skin. The smell is very refreshing, especially wlecoming in the morning routine.
