Discover the best natural retinol alternative with our Borage + Bakuchiol Face Oil, a formula specifically designed to soothe, repair, and rejuvenate your skin.

Made with just two powerful ingredients, borage oil and bakuchiol, this calming, lightweight face oil is your go-to for addressing redness, breakouts, and signs of ageing without irritation.

A Natural Retinol Alternative:

Borage Oil: Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), this nourishing oil deeply hydrates, supports wound healing, and strengthens the skin barrier, making it an ideal choice for dry or inflamed skin conditions, such as eczema, rosacea, acne, and dermatitis.
Bakuchiol: A natural retinol alternative that encourages cell turnover, softens fine lines, and improves skin tone and texture. Enjoy all the skin-smoothing benefits of retinol without the risk of dryness or sun sensitivity.
Fragrance-Free: Gentle and non-irritating, suitable for reactive and sensitive skin.

After cleansing and serum/moisturiser application, dispense 2–3 drops of the face oil onto your fingertips.

Warm between your palms, then gently press or massage into the face and neck using upward strokes.

Use morning and/or night: layer under makeup for a dewy boost, or let it soak in overnight for restorative hydration.

Borage Oil, Bakuchiol.

Contains Organic Ingredients.

Keep in a cool place and out of direct sunlight.

Is this suitable for mature skin?

Yes. This face oil is formulated with plant-based bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative) and borage oil rich in GLA. Bakuchiol helps encourage cell turnover and smooth fine lines, while borage oil deeply nourishes and supports the skin barrier — making it ideal for dry, mature or ageing skin.

I’ve tried retinol and my skin got irritated, will this irritate me too?

This oil is fragrance-free and uses bakuchiol instead of traditional retinol, meaning you get many of the anti-ageing benefits without the common side-effects like dryness or sun sensitivity. Great for skin that’s more sensitive or reactive.

Will this sit well under makeup or is it too oily?

It absorbs beautifully. Just 2–3 drops pressed into the skin gives you a smooth, hydrated base without greasiness. Makeup applies more evenly and looks fresher on moisturised, well-nourished skin.

Should I avoid the sun when using this, like traditional retinol?

No. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol doesn’t increase sun sensitivity, so it’s safe for daytime use. Just pair it with sunscreen as usual.

How often should I use it?

Start with once a day, then move to twice daily if your skin enjoys it. Since bakuchiol is gentle, most can comfortably use it morning and night without irritation.

Is it suitable for sensitive or reactive mature skin?

Yes. This formula uses bakuchiol instead of traditional retinol, so you get similar smoothing and firming benefits without the irritation, redness or peeling. It’s ideal for women whose skin has become more reactive with age.

A gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol that delivers powerful anti-ageing results without irritation. It helps boost collagen, smooth fine lines, improve elasticity and even out skin tone—perfect for sensitive skin that can’t tolerate traditional retinol.

Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), borage oil deeply nourishes, calms inflammation, and supports the skin barrier. It helps restore moisture, making it ideal for dry, mature, or compromised skin.

Bakuchiol visibly reduces fine lines, firms the skin and promotes an even complexion.

Borage oil calms irritation while reinforcing the skin barrier, leaving skin resilient and comfortable.
