Key actives and what they do
-
Bakuchiol 5% (Psoralea Corylifolia — Babchi Plant) — Bakuchiol is a meroterpene compound derived from the seeds of the babchi plant — a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It is the most well-researched plant-based alternative to retinol, with clinical studies demonstrating comparable efficacy to retinol for visibly improving skin firmness, texture, and the appearance of fine lines — without the photosensitivity, peeling, and irritation that retinol commonly causes. Bakuchiol works by activating the same retinoid receptors in the skin as retinol, stimulating the skin’s natural cell renewal process and supporting collagen synthesis. At 5%, this is a high-concentration bakuchiol formula — most bakuchiol products on the market use 0.5–1%. The higher concentration delivers more pronounced visible results with consistent use.
-
Vitamin A — Works synergistically with bakuchiol to support the skin’s natural renewal process. Vitamin A is the precursor to retinol — the skin converts it to retinoic acid, which regulates cell turnover and supports the skin’s structural integrity. In combination with bakuchiol, Vitamin A amplifies the visible firming and skin-renewing effect of the formula.
-
Rosehip Seed Oil (Rosa Canina) — Cold-pressed from the seeds of the rosehip fruit, rich in trans-retinoic acid (a natural form of Vitamin A), linoleic acid (omega-6), and vitamin C. Rosehip seed oil has well-documented brightening properties — it helps visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and post-blemish marks with consistent use. It also deeply nourishes and conditions the skin, improving texture and radiance.
-
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it. Included to ensure the skin remains hydrated and comfortable throughout the firming and renewal process — counterbalancing any potential drying effect from the Vitamin A and bakuchiol actives.
What to expect
After 2–4 weeks of consistent use: visibly firmer, more supple skin; improved skin texture and smoothness; a more even, brighter complexion; reduced appearance of dullness and uneven pigmentation. Results are appearance-based and build progressively — consistent evening use delivers the best outcome. The 5% bakuchiol concentration means results are typically visible sooner than with lower-concentration formulas.
