Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived antioxidant (it's vegan!). It is often called the replacement for retinol although it is not part of the same family.
It has similar effects as retinol: skin smoothing, reducing discoloration, and preventing wrinkles. It does not cause as much irritation as traditional retinoids.
Bakuchiol works by breaking down free radicals and stimulating collagen production in skin.
Combining bakuchiol with retinol will not have adverse side effects. Studies show using them will just boost the benefits. Bakuchiol is also found to help stabilize retinol.
While bakuchiol does not make the skin more sun sensitive, we recommend wearing SPF on a daily basis.

Cons: Just found out it's not fungal acne safe, so there's that.
Pros: For a serum, it's really thick. I was expecting it to be a lot more watery than it is. Also got it for a relatively cheap price so it's hard to complain. Hydrating to the point where sleeping masks might just be unnecessary.
Will I buy this again? Maybe. Not sure if this is the right serum for me.
Not recommended for an oily face. heavy on the face, even if thinly applied. But did not cause me acne
