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.
