Herbivore - Bakuchiol Natural Retinol Alternative Serum (1 oz 30 ml)

Strongly clogs the pores!

I’ve been using this for almost five years now. When I first started using it the results were amazing… my grown kids even would comment on how my skin looked so much better without makeup up. Definitely evens out tone and brown spots. I have sensitive skin and retinol makes my skin peel so I can’t use it. I have no issues with this product at all and it’s been 5 years…. I put it on every night after I wash my face even around my eyes. Feelslight (almost like water - it’s clear) and not greasy at all. Only thing I wish they would go back to the eye dropper they used to have, I don’t like the pump as much but it’s the same great product. Highly recommend!!

I’ve struggled with acne on and off for YEARS, and when I say this product stopped it in its tracks, I’m not kidding!! Retinol wrecked my skin (I went from 5-6 lesions a day to about 20– don’t care about the purge, that’s a hell no for me), so I’ve been using Differin for the past 5 years until it just kind of stopped working three months ago. Finally I found this product because I’m hoping to get pregnant soon, and it stopped my acne in its tracks! It’s only been about 5 days, but my cysts have shrunken dramatically, my texture is silky smooth, and no new zits are showing up. This is IT if you want something natural and gentle! Wish it was cheaper, though. If anything changes, I’ll report back, but so far, I LOVE it ****UPDATE*** Still loving this serum, but I wanted to share that I’ve read recently that it works as an alternative to 0.1% retinol when applied TWICE daily!! My skin began to purge when I did this, got a couple pimples rapidly then disappeared and now my skin is clear and smooth. TWICE a day! Put on sunscreen after

Bought this as a retinol alternative while I am pregnant. It is amazing! Has no smell, doesn’t make my face feel greasy, absorbs into my skin quickly, and gives the perfect amount of moisture and firmness. I use every morning!

I can’t tell much of a noticeable difference but maybe it’s doing something? Went through N entire bottle and now trying a different brand. I still have some melasma and dark spots, although maybe a tad lighter- but also use vitamin c serum so that may be what’s helping? Texture is fine easy to dispense.

I was a former tretinoin user for several years and it really did make my skin smooth and blemish-free, but I had to stop using it when I got pregnant with my third child. After he was born I wanted to get my smooth skin back so I decided to give this a try to see if it really was an alternative to retinol. I started using this about 2 weeks ago and in the last 4ish days I’ve noticed my skin is so smooth and soft, very similar to how it felt when I was using a retinoid, without the irritation. I have noticed a couple of very minor breakouts at the same time my skin became noticeably softer and smoother so maybe there is a slight purge period? Either way I’m going to continue using this. It’s amazing!
