Is this a retinol or bakuchiol serum?
SkinHero™ is a bakuchiol serum, which is a plant-based bio-retinol alternative that delivers similar visible benefits to traditional retinol.
Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
SkinHero™ Calendula + 2% Bakuchiol Bio-Retinol Serum is formulated for nightly use. Because individual responses vary, we recommend patch testing before application.
When should I use this serum?
SkinHero™ bakuchiol serum is designed for nighttime use. Apply 1–2 pumps of the serum in the evening after cleansing and before moisturizing, and always use sunscreen the following morning.
Will this help with wrinkles and elasticity?
Yes. Clinical testing of the SkinHero™ bakuchiol retinol serum showed a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and improved skin elasticity after 28 days.* (*Based on a clinical study of 26 participants after 28 days.)
What does SkinHero™ feel like on the skin?
SkinHero™ has a lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or heavy finish. It layers comfortably under moisturizer and leaves skin feeling smooth and nourished, making it easy to incorporate into your nightly routine.
Can I use SkinHero™ on my neck and décolletage?
Yes. Apply 1–2 pumps of SkinHero™ serum to the neck and décolletage as part of your nightly routine before moisturizing.
How long does it take to see results?
Many users notice smoother, more hydrated-looking skin within the first few uses. With consistent nightly application, visible improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance can typically be seen within 4 weeks. Individual results may vary.
Is this serum suitable for beginners?
Yes. SkinHero™ is designed as a gentle introduction to bakuchiol, making it a suitable option for those looking to support smoother, more radiant-looking skin as part of a nighttime routine.
