I usually used the brown bottle, but when I tried this product, I liked it so much that I snatched it up during the sale at iHerb. I've also used other bakuchiol products before, but this one is better! The ingredients are better than retinol, and I can use it even during pregnancy, so I'm going to use it consistently in the evenings.
Cons
It is a formula that needs to be shaken and has a flowing, dripping texture. After applying, there is a non-greasy, oil-like feel, but it may be divisive. So I recommend using it in the evening! There may also be those who don't care for the fragrance.
Tip
Shake thoroughly!

I was originally a big fan of retinol and retinal, but after moving to a coastal area with intense sunlight and getting into outdoor activities, I started worrying about the retinol I had applied the previous day even when using sunscreen. So I've been using a wrinkle-improving and preventative product that I can apply consistently without much irritation for over a year now. 1) Despite being an oil formulation, it has amazing absorption! When I first applied it to my face, I knew I had to keep using this. 1-2) Even though it's an oil formulation, it doesn't feel greasy or shiny, but leaves a soft, powdery finish. As someone with oily skin, I can apply this and then immediately layer mineral or organic sunscreen without any issues. 2) It's much less irritating than retinol. I even tried applying a bit more, and could feel that it was still working, which was reassuring. 3) It mixes really well into light moisturizers. Personally, I was very satisfied with mixing it into an affordable basic lotion, and didn't feel the need to use any other skincare for 5 months.
Cons
The price is still a bit of a concern though ㅜㅜ I have some stocked up when it goes on sale at Olive Young, but the price is a bit high considering the amount. However, I still plan to keep purchasing it.
Tip
When mixed into a light moisturizing lotion (about 2-3 drops), it almost eliminates the need for any other skincare. And if I ever feel like my skin is getting a bit uneven, I can just apply the oil formulation thinly over my face and it smooths everything out. Using it together with madecassoside-based skincare products also worked really well for me (like toners or essences).

After using the product, my face feels smooth and silky when cleansing the next day, with a distinct separation of oil and serum layers. Although I'm not sure if it's due to the oil content, my skin texture has improved. The product has helped with blemish reduction, but I'm not certain about its individual effects as I've been using it in combination with other cica products (though I still have 3 bottles left). Despite the faster exfoliation that could potentially be irritating for sensitive skin, it has worked well for me.
Cons
There is an inconvenience in having to remove the ampoule cap, squeeze out the product, and then shake it again before application. Those who dislike an oily feeling may not enjoy this product, as there is a lingering oil residue on the skin's surface after application, likely due to the ampoule being absorbed into the skin while the oil content acts as a barrier. Given the product's immense popularity, it can be challenging to find and purchase, as the price often fluctuates and it is prone to selling out.
Tip
I apply this product as the last step without using a cream. For those with oily skin, using a lotion or cream in addition may result in a heavy, greasy feeling. I apply the skin ampoule first, followed by this product.

The product has a slightly oily feel, but I've been using it since spring. Even though I've used it up, I haven't experienced any breakouts.
Cons
After using this, my makeup didn't absorb well and ended up coming off.

It's great for dry skin It finishes with a slightly oily look, but the moisture and hydration last for a long time My cheeks and chin tend to get dry, but on the days I use this, they stay moisturized all day
Cons
I avoid using it on areas that get oily It seems a bit too rich, and I sometimes get breakouts in the oilier parts of my face when I apply it there
Tip
I recommend applying a few drops to dry areas and avoiding the oily parts of your face.

Despite containing oil, it absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky.
Cons
The dropper is shorter than the container, making it inconvenient to use up the entire product, and there are instances of leakage from the lid.

It absorbs well! It's a bit similar to other moisture ampoules sold on the market. A friend of mine is also using this product and is satisfied with it.
Cons
Since it's an overseas delivery, I'd recommend buying it from places like ithurb instead of here.

If you quit the community bulletin board or quit Instagram, it seems like your wallet won't be empty. After seeing the post written by a former dermatologist, I'm sure many of you have bought this product. I used to buy supplements from iHerb regularly and also bought basic products, but since this product has been out of stock for so long, I ended up trading it at a premium price. My skin was originally dry and pale, but with the summer sun and aging, the blemishes started to appear more and more. I used to use a vitamin C product consistently, but it was difficult to manage due to oxidation, and I quit because of the stinging sensation and metallic smell. Retinol was also drying and I heard it was like rat poison for UV rays, so I managed it with an LED machine. Bakuchiol is stable against UV rays and can tackle wrinkles, whitening, and elasticity all at once, so I tried it. You just need to shake the blue oil layer and the lemon-colored liquid layer before using it. It's more oily than expected, so even a small amount can provide enough moisture. As a dry-skinned person, 3-4 drops are enough for me, so it might feel heavy for oily-skinned people. But this alone can provide enough moisture.
Cons
1. Scent: I don't know if other Bakuchiol products are like this, but the infamous reason for the smell is there. It's a musty, earthy smell. I don't know if it's because there are no added fragrances or ingredients, but if you think about someone else smelling it, it's embarrassing. That's why I only use it at night when I'm sleeping. 2. Effectiveness: Maybe because my skin is originally pale, I can't feel any effects like brightening the tone or anything. The blemishes seem to be the same. 3. Pimples: Instead, breakouts are popping up. Even though I have dry skin, it seems oily, and a few days after I stopped using it, small, popping pimples appeared on my forehead, chin, and cheeks. They're not cystic, but it seems like my skin doesn't agree with it.
Tip
Even if you just apply this after your skin toner, it provides enough moisture.

It seems to have the effect of reducing the redness of acne.
Cons
The downside is that it's difficult to obtain the product since it's shipped internationally, and the fragrance is not particularly pleasant.

This product makes my skin feel nourished and radiant. It gives a lively, healthy texture. For dry skin, oil is definitely the best. The color is also pretty, and it's unique to mix and use it. The fragrance is subtle with a floral scent.
Cons
When I apply it around my eyes, it keeps getting into my eyes. I'm avoiding the eye area when using it.
