Lightweight and effective
I am absolutely in love with HERBIVORE’s Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative! As someone who has sensitive skin and has been cautious about using traditional retinol, this was a perfect alternative. My fine lines and wrinkles, especially around my eyes and forehead, have definitely softened, and my skin feels plumper and more radiant. Itâs incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and hydratedânot greasy or sticky.

One of the products I always have to have
My skin is super sensitive and temperamental and retinoids absolutely wreak havoc on my skin. Iâm 41 and this is the time where I NEED to have very specific anti-aging products in my routine. Every single retinol product Iâve used, even prescribed, have just completely backfired.I did a lot of research and came across this product as an alternative. Iâm not kidding you when I say that from the time I started using this particular product (there are a LOT of Bakuchiol products on the market) to now, my skin is noticeably smoother, refined, more lifted and firmer.After washing my face using a two step method with first using an oil cleanser to remove makeup and then going into my face wash, this is the first thing I apply to my skin after patting my face dry.I use 3 pumps, apply to my entire face and neck and then I use a derma roller after applying to push and massage all the product into my skin. Iâll let that sit for about 10-15 mins before applying following serums Iâm alternating betweenand then apply my moisturizer as my last step.Iâve been through 3 bottles at this point. There was a period between bottle 2 and 3 where I lapsed in repurchasing and my skin started looking tired, dull, noticeably less firm and my forehead lines and under eyes became more pronounced. I knew I needed to repurchase and within a week all those things were rectified.Itâs not harsh, smells amazing, feels great to apply, and works wonders.Itâs a staple in my skincare.If you donât tolerate retinoids or donât want leap into that realm, get this product instead. It works, itâs worth the price, itâs amazing.

versatile addition to any skincare routine
HERBIVORE Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moon Fruit Face Serum offers a gentle, plant-based solution for those seeking the benefits of retinol without the potential irritation. Infused with bakuchiol, a natural retinol alternative, this serum helps to smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and promote a brighter, more even complexion.

Great for sensitive skin
I’m a working mom of a feral toddler and I needed this serum. I love that it’s quick and easy to apply since time for myself is very limited. Very lightweight and has a nice smooth texture. My skin type gets dry in both winter and summer months so this absorbed quickly and noticeably got at some of my dry patches.If I can’t squeeze in a shower I make the effort to at least wash my face, pat dry with clean towel then use this at the first step for my skincare routine.I’m very cautious of the ingredients I use on my skin and lean towards vegan, I don’t like the thought of using anything with animal byproducts on my face. I use a pump each time so it should last me awhile.

Gentle yet effective
I was looking for a gentler alternative to traditional retinol, and this serum delivers noticeable results without the irritation that often comes with stronger retinoids. The texture is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin, making it easy to layer with other products.Since using this, Iâve noticed that my skin feels smoother and looks more refined. Fine lines, especially around my forehead and mouth, appear softened, and my complexion looks more even. The addition of peptides seems to help with firmness, giving my skin a more plumped-up look. I also appreciate that it doesnât dry out my skin or cause flaking like some retinol products Iâve used in the past.Another thing I love is that itâs plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, which aligns with my preference for cleaner skincare. The scent is light and pleasantânot overpoweringâwhich makes applying it a nice part of my nighttime routine. While it takes some time to see full results, the overall improvement in texture and hydration makes this a product Iâd repurchase.If you have sensitive skin or just want a more natural alternative to retinol, this serum is definitely worth trying. Itâs gentle yet effective, and the ingredient list is impressive. The only downside is the price, as itâs on the higher end, but considering the quality and results, I think itâs a worthwhile investment.

what is this scent?
overall, it seems to be a decent serum. i just, personally, cannot stomach the smell. itâs such an odd scent & with it being on the face, itâs all i can smell. it helped make my skin soft & smooth, as well as hydrated, but i just couldnât handle the scent.

WARNING â ï¸ Moon Dew gave me swollen eyelids and weeping eczema
I ordered Moon Dew eye cream July 26. I noticed the label for the ingredients was VERY evasive, they donât actually show the ingredients that are in this product.Yet and still, I put the cream under my eyes. Didnât take long because my skin started feeling queasy, like something wasnât quite right. Took about twenty minutes of feeling uncomfortable and I noticed skin under my eyes felt completely DRIED OUT! What happened to develop was a painful redness that went all over my forehead, eyelids and corners of my eyes! I was shocked but that wasnât the worst thing to happen. I woke up next day and my eyelids were so SWOLLEN that I could barely open my eyes! And what I had developed on my eyelids and now my cheek area too , was a WEEPING ECZEMA! It was very painful! I threw the product into the trash!I tried to cooperate with Herbivore as Iâve sent them an email explaining what happened, and asked for a refund, They did not even respond to my email so I had no choice but to write this review as a WARNING to others who have sensitive skin, eczema or dermatitis prone skin, or just people who care about what ingredients they are using on their skin!
