Looking for smoother, firmer skin but worried about the irritation that often comes with retinol? Bakuchiol might just be your new best friend — and Dermalogy’s Real Bakuchiol Serum makes a strong case for it.
💡 What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-based retinol alternative derived from the Babchi plant. It offers similar anti-aging and skin-refining benefits without the dryness, redness, or peeling that many people experience with traditional retinol.
🌸 Why Dermalogy’s Version Stands Out:
The Real Bakuchiol Serum contains a notably high concentration of bakuchiol, yet maintains a lightweight, non-sticky texture that absorbs beautifully into the skin.
Helps with fine lines and wrinkles
Improves skin texture and tone
Reduces inflammation and breakouts
Safe for daily use, even during the day (yes, bakuchiol is photostable!)
✨ My Experience:
I started using this serum on nights when my skin felt too sensitive for retinol. Within a few weeks, I noticed a more even tone, smoother texture, and fewer hormonal breakouts. It’s now a permanent part of my barrier-friendly routine!
It layers well under moisturizer and doesn’t pill under sunscreen or makeup — a major win.
✅ Best For:
Sensitive skin
First-time anti-aging users
Pregnant or breastfeeding moms (always double-check with a doctor)
Anyone looking to gradually brighten and firm their skin without harsh effects
Glow Tip: Use this serum in your PM routine after cleansing and toning. Follow up with a good moisturizer (like Vanicream or Cicaplast Baume) to seal in hydration.
