As a recommendation, I can say that Versed Gentle retinol serum containing bakuchiol and encapsulated retinol is an awesome product. Very gentle on the skin and it makes the skin look flawless. Not so strong when it comes to combating around-the-eye wrinkles, even after about two months of use.
When you say "Not so strong when it comes to combating around the eye wrinkles", Do you mean it's not going to irritate the eyes as some other stronger formulas can? Or, do you mean it doesn't do as good of a job at combatting the wrinkles around the eyes like some stronger formulas do?
@@Lisa-qk1xj I meant the latter. It's just not strong enough, and I am relatively young (32) with light, around the eye wrinkles. For that I would recommend Medik8 0.3 Retinol oil. It is for the face, but is gentle enough to be used around the eyes,too.
💜 I’ve only tried bakuchiol products from ByBi and The Inkey List so far. I like both but I do like TIL’s bakuchiol a little more. It’s a moisturiser and I like the formulation. It works wonders with TIL’s retinol serum - which is another product that has a formulation that I really, really like. I’ve also paired TIL bakuchiol with Sunday Riley’s A+ serum (a higher strength retinol) and The Ordinary’s Granactive Retinoid 2% emulsion. Bakuchiol might not be the holistic alternative to retinol or maybe not even to be compared to retinol, but it’s a nice antioxidant 😌 And I love my antioxidants - as well as peptides and fatty acids - just as much as retinol!
How do u layer TIL bakuchiol with TIL retinol? Is it Combining both for nighttime routine (retinol then bakuchiol) or do u use bakuchiol in the morning and retinol in the night?
I know you made this comment 2 years ago but I'm looking for a bakuchiol moisturizer and I've checked out ByBi's (since I already use their booster) and The Inkey List's. My skin is very dry, so would you say ByBi's or TIL's cream is more moisturizing and hydrating? Because I noticed that TIL's cream is a day cream but I want to use it in the evening
I randomly bought the Bybi at Target and was thrilled to see you mentioned it. The smell isn’t great, however, the two ingredient formula is what caught my eye. Just started using it so I am excited to see its impact.
💜I have tried many, many eye creams. I decided to try the Ole Hendrickson Bakuchiol eye cream. I had a little bit of wrinkly eyelids. I use the eye cream at night under the eyes and in lids. I was able to see visible difference in about 5-6 weeks. I still have 1/4 left, and I bought another for my "backup drawer".
I use the neogen bakuchiol firming serum and love it. I used the ordinary retinol in squalene, but it was too oily for me and just sat on top of my skin. This one absorbs so well and gives a nice almost cooling effect. 💜
Yay!!! Been Pregnant 🤰 and breastfeeding now, needed this video-love Ole, recommend. Can you please bring a video on best lifting creams and if they work. Thanks for you incredible research 🧐💜
The first before and after picture shows a woman smiling and not smiling. I agree, not smiling will erase your wrinkles. Thanks for the evidence 😂🙄. I’d be curious to know if other skincare have been tested for ingredients accuracy. I think we’d be surprised to find out the results, for any brand 💜
I bought the brand Good Molecules Bakuchiol oil blend for oily skin, it was $10 for 12ml/0.40 fl. Oz .. the ingredients are Rosa Rubiginosa (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Baobab Seed Oil, Bakuchiol. They have one for dry skin and one for oily, I'm oily so I chose this one, I use the niacinamide from good molecules and it's been good so far so I'm hoping this one is too
I've been using the same oil and I think it's good, I live in a country that is really cold in winter and I was feeling that my moisturiser wasn't enough. I feel my skin more hydrated but I'm not sure if I see any changes regarding wrinkles, elasticity or fine lines...
I've only just purchased the Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides here in Australia, but it is a UK company. This product has 1.25% backuchiol and is cruelty free.💜 PS, I swear I had the butterfly avatar before I became a Cass fan.
Thank you for being so honest with information on bakuchiol. I like to take into consideration both the pros and cons. I read the information about bakuchiol and possible negative effects with breast health and not yet being proven safe or unsafe for use in pregnancy. No one seems to be mentioning or explaining the issue in any videos. I appreciate your honesty.
retinol percentage just got restricted in the uk and my beloved neutrogena rapid wrinkle repair cream and has been discontinued. paula's choice, here i come. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY SKIN AGAIN, love your videos
💜My first introduction to bakuchiol was in the Herbivore one. I stopped using it when I heard about the scandal. So disappointed! I actually just ordered the Paula's Choice retinol + bakuchiol and I am so excited to try it! Thank you!
I just started using Beekman 1802 Dream Booster bakuchiol beta-retinol serum. As a first time retinol user with sensitive combination acne prone skin. I have had no problems so far.
💜 I just bought 2 Bakuchiol products from Fiera. I was hoping you’d mention them, I will give them a try. Glad they weren’t ones you said were bad anyway. Fingers Crossed
I just use epiduo and sunscreen at the minute, so it's nice to hear about potentially a moisturiser I could use with with my oily acne skin in the morning when I maybe need a day off from retinoids
Can you do an updated video on acne scars treatment options for (icepick, rolling, box scars) over the counter and in-clinic options. I’m a 21 year old and I have acne prone skin.
Fascinating! One question - your video preview features Biossance yet you did not discuss if you thought it was a low or high quality option and it’d be great to know and if you think this brand’s products are worth it in general. Thanks for considering!
For reference: I have combination-dry skin and the Paula's Choice one was perfection for me. It was my intro into Retinol, and I had used 2 Bakuchiol products before (none of the ones mentioned here) before going to Paula... And I've got to say, the reason I think it would be fine for even combo-dry to dry skin is because of it's longterm moisturizing effects on the skin... Because of the Bakuchiol. Let me explain: for the first while I couldn't understand why my skin had become so plump and supple. I chocked it up to be my Marine Hyaluronics, because it's done it in the past, but just a while ago my husband was touching my face and even he said, "wow. Your skin is SO smooth and it's like.... thick" lol... God bless him. What he meant was that it was plump. Enough for even him to notice. So I flipped through some of my journey pics (before and afters) and realized that most of these improvements started happening on my skin only after introducing Paula's Choice Retinol + Bakuchiol. On top of the suppleness, my moisture barrier seems stronger than ever, too. You can feel it. You can see it. My skin looks visibly healthy and glowy. I chock that up to be the Bakuchiol, which, based on my experience, is part of Bakuchiol's star-power. It's just SO moisturizing! The complete opposite of Retinol. Even toner-pads soaked in the watery stuff (Indeed Labs Bakuchiol Pads) leaves a lotion-like after feeling. So, while the texture of Paula's may not appeal to dry skin initially (actually, to be honest, I don't know why it wouldn't... It's phenomenal. Sort of rich yet easily absorbed. Silky. Soft. Smooth.) I guarantee that with time they'd notice a great improvement in their skin texture and moisture as well. On top of that, the formula is so gentle that the Retinol never once bothered me. Even when I used it on the same day as Paula's BHA. it:s just an all-rounder wonderful product. I didn't think I'd like it **that** much, but I do. It's one of my all-time favourites. **chefs kiss** and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bakuchiol in WAY more products going forward. Especially those known to cause dryness.
Im able to use it on my very reactive sensitive skin and had no irritation from it. Its a great alternative to aggressive Retinol. I got mine from Boots a high street brand but they didnt list the percentage in it but I know its been tested. 3 months is the gold standard for seeing results.
I tried the Bybi booster and it was great but it literally took me 3 days to loosen up the cap enough to open it . We have a brand in New Zealand called “Trilogy “ they do an amazing booster.
💜 i was really curious about incorporating some bakuchiol but i think im gonna have to check it out now! I love retinol, but i don’t love how flaky it can make me 😬
Good Molecules has a Bakuchiol oil. It’s a pretty small bottle but it absorbs into the skin so nicely! I’m not a fan of oils bc I feel like they just sit on my skin & don’t actually absorb. But this one is really nice! You’ll have to check it out. 💜💜💜
Hi ! I’ve been using a Bakuchiol serum from Aroma Zone (wich I believe is a French brand) for a week now and it’s pretty similar to the target option you mentioned. It’s 1% of bakuchiol and olive oil squalane. The reason I picked this one is because it’s only 7€. I wanted to give it a shot. I don’t know if the brand is distributed in other countries but I know it’s gaining popularity in France. If you ever get the chance to try it I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Anyway thank you for your videos, they are always so interesting and helpful, bisous from the south of France 💜
Alpyn Beauty makes a Bearberry & Vitamin C Glow serum with bakuchiol that is really gentle on my skin. It absorbs well and doesn’t get chalky. Sephora just started carrying Alpyn Beauty products, so I hope Cassandra will review them soon.
Burt's Bees' "Skin Renewal Firming Moisturizing Cream" is the best night time moisturizer I have ever tried. It's got bakuchiol in it, but I have no idea if that's why this cream is so good. My skin looks so clear, smooth, and has a bit of a bounce in the morning. It comes in a fragrance-free formula, though I have only ever used the original.
I am surprised Cassandra recommended to apply the Bukuchiol Booster that is in squalane oil in the morning, prior to sunscreen. Oil will break the sunscreen down. I have been taught to never use an oil with sunscreen? Anyone know if her advice was correct?
Apparently there isnt any conclusive scientific evidence that sunscreen breaks down if you apply oil first, or that it doesn't, so basically do what feels best for you I guess?
I mean, if you use oil than should the first step and let it dry completely before putting anything else. And of course not before sunscreen and never mixing with.
I know slugging and retinol is not recommended bc it’s sensitizing ! But I use a bakuchiol serum and did slugging… honestly my dry acne prone skin was very happy of this experience !
I tried it too but on my face it’s already been 1 month and half I using it but the results may take more time… will give it another chance to see how it goes or I will stick with my cerave retinol
I did for two years and it was great. Unfortunately I skipped it to try out tretinoin and couldn't tolerate both of them. I stopped using tret because it aged my skin horribly. I will go back to bakuchiol after trying tretinoin for almost two years. Wish I never touched tretinoin.
One of my absolute favorite, must have products is the Acure Rejuvenating Dual phase Serum. It’s super hydrating and has bakuchiol. I love retinol - but can’t use it as I’m pregnant and soon to be breastfeeding.
Contrary to this video, if a product hasn't been tested yet that means we do NOT know if it works and/or if it is harmful to the skin and/or body. And photoshop pictures don't cut it.

Who else remembers when bakuchiol was trending a few years ago and everybody was calling it bakukyol
Indeed Laboratories - Bakuchiol Pads and Sephora has a Bakuchiol serum, now, too. BAK 1% The former is $20 CAD ($16 USD?) and the latter is $27 CAD ($20 USD?) 💜
I've only tried the ones from herbivore and acure. I actually really liked hervibores... I liked it so much I got it for my mom and she absolutely loves it and has really helped her skin with spots and old acne scars. I've been thinking avout trying the biossance one, any thoughts? Of the ones mentiones the first two would probably be my choices. I wanna give my mom the second to see how she feels compared to herbivores without telling her about what i just learned. 💜
💜 I'd like to try Bakuchiol, but I don't really have any retinoid sensitivity issues, so it becomes hard to justify the extra costs, especially since I can't afford any of the primary options except the Target possibility so I'll look into that because I am curious about boosting the effects of retinol products, and the anti aging options.
I have used bakuchiol from Cetaphil and Nivea. I didn't find any effect on my skin. Maybe I have already adapted to retinol? I used retinol regularly for a year. I also don't find any effect except peeling when large doses.
I've been using Dermartlogy Ageless Potent Rejuvanating Serum for quite some time. It contains 1% of Bakuchiol and I noticed an improvement of my skin.
I have been listening to various bakuchiol reviews, most say bakuchiol and glycolic acid is a no-no since glycolic acid denatures bakuchiol. I still need to do better research though. Thank you for the informative video.
Very famous brend in my country is the Polish one named Nacomi. It has retinols that are very good and the prices are very low and also they have a Bakuchiol serum 2%. I tried only the retinol 0.25 % and it's so friking good, also people are buying like crazy the other concetrations and said that is like magic.
I am on my 3rd bottle of Swisse Beauty Bio-Retinol Vitamin B3 10% Renewing Booster Serum. It contains 0.5% Bakuchiol. (I should note that I am in Australia).
Herbivore came out with a statement on the supplier that tested their Bakuchiol product. They were a supplier that were rejected by Herbivore and when asked by Herbivore for the results/methodology of their testing, they were provided nothing. It’s hard to say if they are trying to give them a bad name for rejecting them or if their testing is true. Maybe before dragging Herbivore, we should wait until an actual independent company tests the concentration rather than a disgruntled rejected supplier.
I feel like I heard, or read, somewhere, that Versed changed their Press Restart formula & its not the same magical potion it used to be. Anyone know of this or use it & can attest? Thanks. 💜
💜 I've been wanting to try the Paula's choice retinol, I'm going to try the retinol plus bakuchiol and see how it goes! I was on retin-a as a teenager for acne but it caused such intense peeling and aggravated my seborrheic dermatitis that I quit within a few weeks. I'm trying it again a couple of decades later and my experience is totally different, thank goodness!
@@choochd I don't think it is, I've been using retinol as an adult over my whole face with no problems. As a teenager I had the prescription which was stronger and didn't know it took time for my skin to adjust so I just quit.
@@choochd Nizoral prescription shampoo and elidel cream when it flares up. I use the peach and lily power cocktail once a day and the peach and lily existing mask once every week or two. I use the sweet chef Beet retinol night cream every 2 or 3 nights. It seems like the mild chemical exfoliators keep the flakes from building up when I'm not having a flare. When I am having a flare I back off the exfoliators and use the Nizoral twice a week and elidel twice a day.
Recently bought 23 Years Old (i.e. the k-beauty brand name) Bakuchiol ampoule A. Have yet to test it out, it was on sale at $7.99 so at least its not an arm & a leg. Will try medik8 next. :) 💜
