Why is it different?
Research shows that bakuchiol and retinol work even better together. Plant-derived bakuchiol is one of a few ingredients that can stabilize retinol, allowing it to work more effectively and for longer, even at a lower concentration. The addition of peptides helps to stimulate and strengthen skin to visibly combat sagging.

What does it do?
Moderate-strength retinol and a 2% strength of plant-derived bakuchiol work with firming peptides to deliver multi-level repair and rejuvenation. It quickly targets fine lines, deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and rough texture for youthful-looking skin.

Good for beginners
I have just started using the 5 ml one that is in the Glow Up mini pack at night. As I'm a seasoned retinol user, my skin has no issue with this low percentage of retinol. This is ideal for beginners so you won't encounter dry and flaking skin which is common when using retinol initially. Nice texture overall and easily absorbed by the skin.
