  Pros

  I used to mainly use the brown bottle, but after trying this product, I loved it so much that I snagged it during a sale on iHerb! I've tried other bakuchiol products, but this one's my favorite! The ingredients are better than retinol, and it's safe to use during pregnancy, so I plan to use it consistently in my evening routine.

  Cons

  You need to shake it before use, and it has a runny texture. After application, there's a non-suffocating oily feel that might be hit or miss for some. That's why I recommend using it in the evening! The scent might not be everyone's cup of tea either.

  Tip

  Make sure to shake it well!

  I need to quit either the community board or Instagram, or I'll go broke! After seeing posts from ex-dermatology clinic staff recommending this, I bet many of you bought it too. I did the same. I usually buy supplements and skincare basics from iHerb, but this was out of stock for so long that I ended up paying extra through personal sellers. My skin is naturally dry and fair, but summer sun and aging brought some blemishes. I used to use Vitamin C products regularly, but stopped due to oxidation issues, tingling, and a metallic smell. Retinol was too drying and supposedly risky with sun exposure, so I tried using LED devices instead. Bakuchiol is said to be stable in sunlight and tackles wrinkles, brightening, and firmness all at once, so I gave it a try. It's a two-phase product with a blue oil layer and a lemon-colored liquid that you shake before use. It's more oily than expected, so a little goes a long way for hydration. Even with my dry skin, 3-4 drops are enough, so it might feel heavy for oily skin types. This one product can handle moisturizing too. The bottle is small, but you don't need much.

  Cons

  1. Scent: I'm not sure if other bakuchiol products are like this, but there's a reason the smell is infamous. It's like a grassy scent, but really pungent. Maybe it's because there are no added fragrances or ingredients... anyway, it's embarrassing to think someone else might smell it. That's why I only use it at night when sleeping. 2. Effectiveness: Maybe it's because my skin is already fair, or maybe it's not working, but I can't see any brightening effects. My blemishes seem unchanged too. 3. Pimples: Ironically, it's causing blemishes! Even though I have dry skin, maybe because it's so oily, after not using it for a few days, small pimples pop up on my forehead, chin, and cheeks - the kind that burst when you touch them. They're not infected, but it seems my skin doesn't agree with this product.

  Tip

  It provides enough hydration even if you only apply this after your toner or skin.

  It seems to have a beneficial effect on reducing redness associated with blemishes.

  Cons

  The downside is that it's difficult to obtain due to international shipping, and the scent isn't particularly pleasant.

  Pros

  I've always found retinol products too harsh and irritating, and they're not suitable for daytime use. So even though I wanted to use them, I couldn't. Recently, I heard that bakuchiol is emerging as a retinol alternative, so I decided to give it a try. Compared to retinol, it definitely feels gentler. It's more like a lightweight face oil, and 1-2 drops are enough to cover your face. I preferred mixing it with other essences or creams rather than using it alone. Unlike retinol, its structure is more stable, so you can use it during the day. Plus, it's from a cruelty-free brand!

  Cons

  However, as it's gentler than retinol, the effects seem a bit milder too. Still, with consistent use, I noticed it seemed to fill in fine lines. The downside is the smell - it's really quite unpleasant... quite strong actually.

  Tip

  In fact, whether it's retinol or bakuchiol, products that combine them with other ingredients are said to be more effective than using them alone. Unlike me, if retinol works well for you, it might be good to use both. There's an instanatural product available on iHerb that combines them.
