Anti-Aging Bakuchiol Serum - Retinol Alternative

A lightweight 1 oz oil-based serum formulated with bakuchiol to help smooth the look of fine lines, refine texture, and support a more balanced, resilient-looking complexion—without the irritation and sun sensitivity commonly associated with retinol.

Description

This gentle yet effective serum features bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, to support the appearance of smoother, firmer-looking skin over time. Squalene, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and nourishing botanical oils help maintain hydration and comfort, while antioxidant extracts support clarity and balance. The silky texture absorbs easily, leaving skin feeling conditioned and supported rather than overwhelmed. Designed with Aniise’s prevention-first philosophy, this serum delivers steady, visible refinement without disruption.
