Description

An overnight oil-serum with 1% bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol, cushioned in squalane and rosehip oil with a firming peptide. It visibly smooths fine lines and refines texture without the dryness, peeling or sun sensitivity often associated with retinol. Contains no retinol or retinoids.

Retinol is the gold standard for smoothing fine lines, but many people can't tolerate the dryness, peeling and sun sensitivity that can come with it. Midnight Renewal uses 1% bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol, to visibly smooth fine lines and refine texture without those side effects. It contains no retinol or retinoids.

The bakuchiol is cushioned in plant-derived squalane and rosehip seed oil, with palmitoyl tripeptide-5 to help skin look firmer and vitamin E to protect the formula. It is an oil-serum that sinks in overnight, so you wake up to skin that looks smoother and more rested, and it is suitable for nightly use from day one.

  1. 1% bakuchiolThe plant-based retinol alternative, with no retinoids.
  2. Nightly from day oneNo dryness, peeling or adjustment period.
  3. Squalane + rosehip oilA cushioning oil-serum that works while you sleep.

Retinol results without the peeling

I couldn't tolerate retinol. Two months into the bakuchiol serum, the lines around my eyes look softer and my skin texture is so much smoother.

Elena R. Verified buyer · Normal, 40s · 5 out of 5 stars

Smoother by week three

I use it every night under the barrier cream. No flaking at all, and my forehead lines look softer. The texture is a lovely silky oil, not greasy.

Monica A. Verified buyer · Dry, 50s · 5 out of 5 stars

Finally a retinol alternative I can use

Retinol always burned. This has been totally calm for six weeks. Texture is better already; I am still waiting to see more on the lines, which is fair.

Tara J. Verified buyer · Sensitive · 4 out of 5 stars
