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

I’ve been using this on my eyelids once per day and have seen a noticeable improvement in skin texture. I typically go for department store brands, and this has out performed them all!
An angel gave this to me as a gift. This product is amazing. The shuttle scent and glow the serum gives my face with out feeling or looking oily is amazing. I’ll be gifting this to all my ladies in my life. Thanks for making this!
I love this product!! I’ve tried retinol in the past but gave up after one or two applications due to reactions/sensitivity. But this just seems to agree with me and my skin looks and feels very hydrated and glowy when I wake up. I love that the label says 3% so you know exactly what you’re getting.
This serum I use on all my wrinkles, arms, neck and face. My neck is to far gone to get rid of the wrinkles, but it hasn't gotten worse, so that's good.
