Gentle yet effective
I was looking for a gentler alternative to traditional retinol, and this serum delivers noticeable results without the irritation that often comes with stronger retinoids. The texture is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin, making it easy to layer with other products.Since using this, Iâve noticed that my skin feels smoother and looks more refined. Fine lines, especially around my forehead and mouth, appear softened, and my complexion looks more even. The addition of peptides seems to help with firmness, giving my skin a more plumped-up look. I also appreciate that it doesnât dry out my skin or cause flaking like some retinol products Iâve used in the past.Another thing I love is that itâs plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, which aligns with my preference for cleaner skincare. The scent is light and pleasantânot overpoweringâwhich makes applying it a nice part of my nighttime routine. While it takes some time to see full results, the overall improvement in texture and hydration makes this a product Iâd repurchase.If you have sensitive skin or just want a more natural alternative to retinol, this serum is definitely worth trying. Itâs gentle yet effective, and the ingredient list is impressive. The only downside is the price, as itâs on the higher end, but considering the quality and results, I think itâs a worthwhile investment.

One of the products I always have to have
My skin is super sensitive and temperamental and retinoids absolutely wreak havoc on my skin. Iâm 41 and this is the time where I NEED to have very specific anti-aging products in my routine. Every single retinol product Iâve used, even prescribed, have just completely backfired.I did a lot of research and came across this product as an alternative. Iâm not kidding you when I say that from the time I started using this particular product (there are a LOT of Bakuchiol products on the market) to now, my skin is noticeably smoother, refined, more lifted and firmer.After washing my face using a two step method with first using an oil cleanser to remove makeup and then going into my face wash, this is the first thing I apply to my skin after patting my face dry.I use 3 pumps, apply to my entire face and neck and then I use a derma roller after applying to push and massage all the product into my skin. Iâll let that sit for about 10-15 mins before applying following serums Iâm alternating betweenand then apply my moisturizer as my last step.Iâve been through 3 bottles at this point. There was a period between bottle 2 and 3 where I lapsed in repurchasing and my skin started looking tired, dull, noticeably less firm and my forehead lines and under eyes became more pronounced. I knew I needed to repurchase and within a week all those things were rectified.Itâs not harsh, smells amazing, feels great to apply, and works wonders.Itâs a staple in my skincare.If you donât tolerate retinoids or donât want leap into that realm, get this product instead. It works, itâs worth the price, itâs amazing.

Great results!
I’ve been using the HERBIVORE Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moon Fruit Face Serum for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed with the results. There are noticeable improvements in my skin’s texture. It has visibly smoothed out fine lines and has a calming, nourishing effect without any irritationâperfect if you need a gentler alternative to retinol. My skin feels softer, looks more radiant, and Iâve noticed a reduction in fine lines. Plus, knowing itâs plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free makes it even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, effective serum!

Not cost effective
I did not feel it was worth the cost. It is not greasy and feels fine on my skin. However, the scent is odd. I didnât feel like it made a huge difference in my skin care routine.

Great for sensitive skin
I’m a working mom of a feral toddler and I needed this serum. I love that it’s quick and easy to apply since time for myself is very limited. Very lightweight and has a nice smooth texture. My skin type gets dry in both winter and summer months so this absorbed quickly and noticeably got at some of my dry patches.If I can’t squeeze in a shower I make the effort to at least wash my face, pat dry with clean towel then use this at the first step for my skincare routine.I’m very cautious of the ingredients I use on my skin and lean towards vegan, I don’t like the thought of using anything with animal byproducts on my face. I use a pump each time so it should last me awhile.

One of my biggest dissapointments so far
Hrrmmmm…I cannot tell you how excited I was to try this! Claims it instantly firms, sign me up, increases hydration sign me up, Herbivore brand, sign me up! Sadly, this was a bust. My eyes feel dry, no firming, no where near any of my other eye creams, even the cheap ones. I have more fine lines than if I didn’t use any eye cream at all. Not impressed.

Pretty color, made skin feel soft after first use
I am trying this and working my way up to retinol, but after applying to my face for the first time, my skin felt silky, smooth, and looked fresh and Dewey! It has a beautiful lavender color and has a slightest scent of citrus.
