A powerful, yet gentle-on-the-skin natural alternative to retinol, esmi's Afterglow Rejuvenating Bakuchiol stimulates collagen production, encourages cell turnover and brightens uneven skin tones.
Packed with skin-loving ingredients like squalane and blue tansy, this lightweight oil-based serum is a rich and potent source of antioxidants that will protect your skin against environmental damage.
The beauty of a botanical alternative to retinol is that it's gentle on your skin and won't lead to sensitivity that's often associated with retinol use. This makes it ideal in both your morning and night routine and is perfect for those with dry or sensitive skin. It's also suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
While your skin will feel soft and hydrated, if you're in need of extra nourishment you can follow with your favourite moisturiser or oil.

I have added this to my skin care routine and have started off using it 3 or 4 times a week. My skin is left feeling hydrated and nourished. A few drops go a long way.

This is my favourite product from the Esmi range so far. It feels so nice on the skin!! I use it morning and night and it gives me the most glowy and even skin. I also purchased for my mum who noticed a dramatic reduction of her fine lines in one application!
- Joanne B.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoDisappointing!
Having tried many esmi products with great success I was excited to try this however i it wasn’t for me. I’ve tried many other brands of bakuchiol and this is the only one to make my skin red and inflamed and breakout despite having no issues with acne prior to using! I was hoping to feel more confident in my skin using this product and sadly it’s done the opposite and I’m not sure how long it will take to clear up! Sadly a waste of money but be prepared if you have sensitive skin that this might not agree with you!

I have many other esmi products I love. Being pregnant I thought this would be a good retinol alternative. Broke my whole face into a rash of small raised bumps. Took about a week to clear up.

As an oil-based serum, this product is more nourishing than your water-based serums but just as powerful. It is fast-absorbing so even if you have oily skin, it will absorb nicely to be followed with your moisturiser of choice.
Bakuchiol is an oil extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Babchi plant. Similar to retinoids, bakuchiol works by stimulating collagen producing receptors in the skin, without the dryness and irritation that can often be associated with Retinol use. It's a natural plant based alternative to Retinol and is suitable for those with sensitivities to Retinol and can be used while pregnant and breastfeeding.
This serum is suitable for use daily, and can be used both AM & PM if you wish.
If you find you experience sensitivity to skincare, start by using Afterglow Bakuchiol at night for 2 weeks and thereafter you can continue using this serum both morning & night or as your skin needs.
