3% Bakuchiol Serum - Retinol Alternative for Sensitive Skin

Forever Young: 3% Bakuchiol Serum

Our Canadian-made bakuchiol serum (pronounced bah-koo-chee-ol) is a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol—designed for women who want visible anti-aging results without irritation. With 3% bakuchiol, formulated for those who want a stronger option, it helps smooth fine lines, fade dark spots, and restore firmness while being gentle to sensitive skin.

🌿 What It Does

• Reduces the look of wrinkles and fine lines
• Fades dark spots and evens skin tone
• Firms skin and supports elasticity
• Reduces acne 
• Delivers visible results without peeling, redness, or dryness

💡 Why Choose a Bakuchiol Serum? 

Bakuchiol is a gentle, plant-derived compound from the Babchi plant. It works like retinol by boosting collagen, increasing cell turnover, improving tone, but without the irritation.

Clinical research shows that bakuchiol delivers similar results to retinol for photoaging (wrinkles, hyperpigmentation) with fewer side effects, even on sensitive skin (Dhaliwal et al., Br J Dermatol, 2019) Source.

❌ Why Not Retinol?

Retinol is powerful, but not for everyone.

• Often causes dryness, peeling, flaking
• Increases sun sensitivity
• Can worsen redness or sensitivity in reactive skin

Bakuchiol gives you the anti-aging benefits without the harshness. It minimizes dark spots, hyperpigmentation and also has the bonus effect of reducing acne due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties  

✨ How To Use

At night, apply 1–2 drops to clean skin after your moisturizer. Like with any new product you're starting out with, always patch test first. Then start with 3-4 nights a week, slowly building up to nightly use
