With bakuchiol oil and blue tansy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakuchiol is the botanical route to smoother, brighter-looking skin without the peeling, stinging fortnight that puts most sensitive-skinned people off retinoids entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooths the look of fine lines and uneven texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrightens a dull complexion and improves the look of tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce the look of redness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs quickly rather than sitting on the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in it, and why I chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBakuchiol\u003c\/strong\u003e (Psoralea Corylifolia). From the babchi plant. It is the most researched botanical alternative to retinol, and far better tolerated — which matters more than potency, if potency means you stop using it after a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue tansy.\u003c\/strong\u003e For its azulene content, which is where the deep blue colour comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosehip, marula, baobab, Abyssinian, grapeseed and jojoba.\u003c\/strong\u003e Chosen for the balance of their fatty acid profiles rather than for how they read on a label. Jojoba sits close to the skin's own sebum, so the blend absorbs instead of coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSqualane.\u003c\/strong\u003e Light, stable, and one of the best-tolerated emollients there is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNature provides the idea.

Gently press and massage the serum into your face using upward motions. For best results, use morning and evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways do a patch test first. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid eye contact. Keep out of reach of children. Use within 6 months of opening. Store in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it eight to twelve weeks. Skin cells turn over roughly every four weeks and texture takes longer than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimmondsia Chinensis seed oil*, Vitis Vinifera seed oil, Rosa Canina seed oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis oil, Squalane, Crambe Abyssinica seed oil, Sclerocarya Birrea seed oil, Adansonia Digitata seed oil, Psoralea Corylifolia seed oil, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus seed oil, Cananga Odorata flower oil, Boswellia Carterii oil, Tanacetum Annuum flower oil, Commiphora Myrrha oil, Santalum Spicatum wood oil, Copaifera Officinalis resin oil, Farnesol**, Limonene**, Benzyl Salicylate**, Linalol**, Benzyl Benzoate**, Eugenol**, Geraniol**, Isoeugenol**.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e*Organic  **Naturally occurring in essential oils\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitive skin that has never got on with retinol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature skin looking for something gentler than an acid or a retinoid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants one product doing the work of a serum and a facial oil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso suitable for people who may be prone to eczema, dermatitis or rosacea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs bakuchiol really as good as retinol?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not identical, and anyone telling you it is has something to sell.
