Radiance+ Botanical Retinol Oil is powered by bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol that stimulates collagen, smooths fine lines, and restores firmness without irritation. Combined with antioxidant-rich oils like rosehip, raspberry, and blueberry, it delivers visible anti-aging results while nourishing the skin barrier.

Yes. Bakuchiol works on the same cellular pathways as retinol, encouraging collagen and elastin production. With consistent use, skin appears smoother, firmer, and more resilient. Evening primrose oil and vitamin E add further support by maintaining elasticity and preventing early sagging.

Absolutely. Rosehip and raspberry seed oils are natural sources of vitamins A and C, which help brighten dark spots and improve overall radiance. Bakuchiol enhances cell turnover, leading to a more even, luminous complexion over time.

You can also combine it with our Pigment Clarity Serum for boosted effect.

Bakuchiol has been clinically shown to mimic retinol’s effects on collagen and pigmentation pathways but without the irritation, dryness, or sun sensitivity often associated with retinol. It is photostable, making it safe for both daytime and evening routines.

These botanical oils are rich in essential fatty acids, carotenoids, and antioxidants. Rosehip helps repair uneven tone, raspberry delivers barrier-strengthening omega-3 and -6, and blueberry seed oil provides powerful polyphenols that defend against environmental stress and free radicals.

Evening primrose oil is high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare fatty acid that supports elasticity, calms inflammation, and improves moisture retention. It complements bakuchiol by keeping the skin supple and comfortable while renewal processes are taking place.

It can be used at either time. Many prefer it at night to maximize overnight repair, but unlike retinol, bakuchiol is safe for daytime use since it is photostable. If used in the morning, always pair with SPF to protect results and prevent pigmentation.

Yes. Unlike synthetic retinol, bakuchiol is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It provides similar anti-aging and brightening benefits without the risks of retinoids. However, as with any product, consult your doctor if uncertain.

Yes. Radiance+ Oil is designed to be the final step in a routine, locking in hydration and actives from serums or creams. Apply it after lighter, water-based treatments to seal in benefits and create a protective barrier.

Yes. Antioxidants from berry seed oils, rosehip, and vitamin E protect skin against pollution, UV stress, and oxidative damage, preventing collagen breakdown and delaying premature aging.

For boosted antioxidants combine it with our Ginkgo Antiox+ Gel

Yes. A double-blind clinical trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology compared Bakuchiol 0.5% twice daily to retinol 0.5% twice daily over 12 weeks. Both produced significant improvement in fine lines, skin firmness, pigmentation, and elasticity. Bakuchiol produced comparable results with significantly less irritation, dryness, and photosensitivity. It is the only plant active with this level of clinical evidence against retinol.

Yes. Bakuchiol is not a retinoid and does not carry the pregnancy contraindication associated with retinol and retinoids. Rosehip fruit oil, raspberry seed, and all other actives in this formula are safe during pregnancy. Always consult your doctor if you have specific concerns.

No. Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol does not cause purging, peeling, or irritation during the adjustment period. It is safe for daily use from the first application. No gradual introduction is needed.

Yes. Bakuchiol delivers retinol-comparable results through a different biological mechanism that does not cause the irritation, inflammation, or barrier disruption associated with retinol. The formula contains natural fragrance with declared allergens,  if your sensitivity extends to fragrance, it is not recommended. For all other sensitive skin types it is well tolerated.

Clinical studies show visible improvement in fine lines, firmness, and pigmentation after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use. Skin texture and radiance typically improve earlier, within 3 to 4 weeks. Consistent nightly use is essential — Bakuchiol is a cumulative active that builds results over time.

Botanical Retinol Oil is an active anti-ageing treatment oil built around Bakuchiol and rosehip — its primary purpose is collagen stimulation, fine line reduction, and pigmentation fading. GlowRenew is a radiance and glow oil for dull and pigmentation-prone skin without Bakuchiol. Radiance+ is the stronger anti-ageing choice. GlowRenew is the better everyday radiance and renewal oil.

Yes. COSMOS Organic certified by ECOCERT. All marked ingredients are from organic farming. No synthetic fragrance, silicones, mineral oil, parabens, or harsh preservatives.
