Whether you’re avoiding retinol due to skin sensitivity or are looking for a plant-based alternative, Bakuchiol is here as the vegan, cruelty-free, sensitive-skin-friendly option. This 100% natural ingredient is clinically proven to be equally as effective as retinol at reversing ageing, protecting skin from further damage, and improving problem skin.
Bakuchiol has been shown to boost collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce hyperpigmentation, inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. Unlike Retinol, Bakuchiol does not cause irritation or sensitisation. It can be applied morning and night – making it the superior choice for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Housed in a sustainable glass jar with an aluminum lid, this lightweight serum is formulated with vegan squalane to instantly moisturise and smooth skin. This super-powered plant-derived ingredient enhances the skin's natural barrier and locks in moisture for plump, radiant skin.
Clinically proven to:
- Reduce wrinkles by 24% in 12 weeks**
- Decrease pigmentation by up to 28% in 4 weeks*
- Improve roughness & dryness by up to 90% in 12 weeks**
- Reduce acne by 57% in 6 weeks**

Reviews
Plump, Glassy Skin Without the Grease
"I was gifted the INIKA Bakuchiol Serum (Natural Retinol Alternative) to try, and here are my honest thoughts! The texture is lightweight and non-greasy, so it sinks in fast without leaving any heavy residue. My face feels instantly plump and glassy after applying, and over time my skin has felt so much more moisturised, smooth and elastic. It's become a staple in my routine — such a gentle way to get that retinol-like glow without any irritation."
This serum has done wonders
"This serum has done wonders for my dry and irritated skin. It has calmed down the redness and my pores are finer. I appreciate too that this Bakuchiol Serum feels silky and gentle. It's so lovely to have all these advantages and know that it's vegan."
Silky Smooth & Gentle
"Being postpartum I’m a bit more conscious about trying to use organic skincare. This natural retinol alternative was gifted to me and I’ve been obsessed! Not only does it apply silky smooth and is gentle on my skin, but it also gives me a nice glowy texture for the day. I’ve been using with the INKA day cream & eye cream too."
A great, gentle alternative
"This product was gifted to me to try and I have really enjoyed using it. It's a beautiful serum that absorbs easily into my skin so it doesn't feel heavy or overloaded. I also love that it's a gentle alternative that doesn't give me any of the adverse reactions that retinol has done in the past."
Perfect retinol alternative for sensitive skin
"My skin is far too sensitive for retinol and I’ve never been able to use it consistently without irritation, so discovering this serum has made such a difference. It feels incredibly gentle on my skin, but I’ve still noticed my skin looking smoother, more even and healthier overall. I also love that I can use it regularly without worrying about the dryness and sensitivity I normally get from stronger actives. Such a beautiful alternative for sensitive skin and definitely something I’ll keep using. 🤍"
Nourishing
"I use Bakuchiol serum and feel it’s soaking in my starving face!"
A natural alternative to retinol!
"Love that this is a natural alternative to retinol, especially for those wanting to be mindful of their skincare ingredients during pregnancy and postpartum. It feels lovely on my skin and I love that I can still prioritise my skincare without the harsher ingredients!"
Love this product
"I’ve really been enjoying the INIKA Bakuchiol Serum! It feels lightweight and silky on the skin, absorbs beautifully without feeling sticky, and leaves my skin looking smooth, hydrated and fresh. I love that it gives me the benefits of a retinol alternative while still feeling gentle enough for everyday use. Definitely one I’ll keep reaching for!"
2% without the oils and fillers
"I have tried multiple other Bakuchiol serums during my pregnancy/post partum time and this hits the spot. Light weight, absorbs well, non greasy, safe to use morning and night and beautiful packaging. Highly recommend - I am about to repurchase in the bakuchiol/HA bundle!"
