Watch how to apply it
Who it’s for
- Mature skin looking for a nourishing oil
- Dry or dehydration-prone skin
- Anyone who prefers to avoid retinol
- Anyone who likes oil textures that go a long way
When to use it
Use it morning or night, after cleansing. In the morning, always finish your routine with sunscreen; at night, you can layer night cream over the oil.
How to apply it, step by step
- Cleanse your face and neck so your skin is ready to receive the oil.
- Dispense 2 to 3 drops into the palm of your hand.
- Warm the oil between your hands for a few seconds.
- Press gently onto your face and neck, without rubbing.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen. At night, add your night cream on top if you like.
Get the most out of it
- A little goes a long way: it's an oil, so 2 to 3 drops are enough for face and neck.
- If you're adding other actives (acids, vitamin C), introduce them one at a time and alternate when you apply them.
- If your skin is sensitive, patch test on a small area first, as the formula contains fragrance and declarable allergens.
Avoid
- Using more drops than recommended: you don't need them, and the oil works best in a small amount.
- Using it in the morning and skipping sunscreen.
- Starting several new actives at once, so you can't tell what your skin tolerates.
Pairs well with
- Cleansing Milk | 190 ml — Cleanses skin gently before the oil, which goes on clean skin.
- Energising Vitamin C Serum | 30 ml — For your morning routine: if you want to add vitamin C, introduce one active at a time and alternate application times.
- Tinted Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 50 | 20 ml — In the morning, sunscreen is the final step after the oil.
FAQs
Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?
No. It's a different ingredient with a different chemical structure and fewer studies. Results from studies on specific formulas don't automatically transfer to other products.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, as long as you finish your routine with sunscreen.
Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The formula doesn't contain retinol, but any change to your routine at that time should be decided with a healthcare professional.
