EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Serum (30 ml)

Want smoother, firmer-looking skin without the sting of retinol? This serum is made with bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol, plus a ceramide complex that keeps your skin barrier comfortable while it works.

Routine step: Step 3, Treat. After toner, before moisturizer.
Good for: fine lines, rough texture and the look of pores. Gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Key ingredients

• Bakuchiol (5,000 ppm): a plant-based alternative to retinol that helps smooth the look of fine lines and texture, without the usual dryness or peeling.
• 5-ceramide complex: five types of ceramides in tiny capsules that help strengthen the skin barrier and keep hydration lasting.

How to use

Apply 2–3 drops to clean skin after toner. Pat in gently, then follow with moisturizer. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol can be used morning or night. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.

What to expect

Skin feels softer and more comfortable right away. A smoother, firmer look builds with regular use, so give it 4–8 weeks.

Good to know

• Bakuchiol isn't retinol. It's a gentler plant alternative, so it's a good first step if retinol has irritated your skin before.
• Not tested on animals, according to the maker.
• Patch test on a small area before first use.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding? Check with your doctor before adding new active ingredients.
