Bakuchiol Serum

Retinol results, without the retinol rules. Our Bakuchiol Serum pairs plant-derived bakuchiol with five cold-pressed oils your skin already knows how to use. Three drops sink in within a minute, leave no film, and ask nothing of you in return — no peeling week, no purge, no nights off.

The Vivelle DifferenceThe Feel: A weightless golden oil, not a balm. It absorbs into damp skin almost immediately and finishes satin, never slick — which is why it sits happily under makeup or a cream.

No Retinization: Bakuchiol works alongside your skin's own renewal cycle instead of forcing it. There is no adjustment period to survive, so you can use it every night from night one.

No Tolerance Build-Up: Retinol routines escalate — 0.3%, then 0.5%, then 1%. Bakuchiol keeps working at the same dose, month after month. There is no strength ladder to climb, and nothing to graduate to.

Six Ingredients. That's It: No silicones, no fillers, no fragrance, no essential oils. Every ingredient in the bottle is doing a job you can name.

Retinol works — but it asks a lot. Weeks of flaking, a nightly gamble with redness, and a long list of things you can no longer layer. Bakuchiol is a compound pressed from the seeds of the babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia). It isn't a vitamin A derivative and it isn't chemically related to one, yet in a 12-week randomised, double-blind trial it improved wrinkle surface area and pigmentation as effectively as retinol — while the retinol group reported significantly more scaling and stinging. It is not known to increase photosensitivity, so mornings are fine. And because it doesn't work by irritating skin, there is nothing for your skin to get used to.

How to Use: Three to four drops onto clean, slightly damp skin, morning or night. Press it in with your palms rather than rubbing. Follow with Whipped Tallow Cream to seal it. Safe to layer over vitamin C, niacinamide or acids — no alternating nights, no waiting between steps.

What to Expect:
Immediately: A soft satin finish and no tack — the oil is gone into the skin, not sitting on it.
Week 2: Smoother texture, and a more even face in the morning.
Week 8–12: Softened fine lines and visibly more even tone, in line with the clinical timeline for bakuchiol.
Throughout: No peeling. No purge. No week off.
If you're switching from retinol: start the night you stop. There is no washout period.

A minimalist, nutrient-dense formula crafted with 100% grass-fed beef tallow, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, frankincense oil, and signature botanical oil blend. Nothing more.
