How is this different from retinol?
Retinol and our hero active, Bidens Pilosa, a plant based retinol alternative, offer similar smoothing, firming benefits, but this formula works without the peeling, redness, or sun sensitivity retinol is known for. You get the results without the irritation.
Is it gentle enough for sensitive skin?
Yes. This gentle formula pairs a plant based retinol alternative with soothing aloe, rosehip, and sea buckthorn. It is designed for daily use, even on sensitive skin. As with any new product, we suggest a quick patch test first.
Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Many people choose plant based retinol alternatives as a retinol-free option during pregnancy and breastfeeding. That said, everyone's situation is different, so we always recommend checking with your doctor before adding any new product to your routine.
When will I see results?
Skincare takes patience. Most people notice smoother, softer-looking skin within a few weeks of consistent use, and fine lines and texture keep improving over 8 to 12 weeks.
How do I use it, morning or night?
Both. Press 2 to 3 drops into clean skin morning and night, then follow with moisturizer, and SPF in the morning. Unlike retinol, this plant based alternative is not sun sensitizing, so twice daily use is perfectly fine.
You shouldn’t have to suffer for smoother skin.
Retinol works. But the peeling, redness, and dreaded purge send most people running, so they quit, and the results stop with them. Effective should not have to mean uncomfortable.
Bidens Pilosa: nature’s answer to retinol.
Extracted from a flowering botanical, Bidens Pilosa is a plant based retinol alternative. At 2% in this formula, paired with wild rosehip and sea buckthorn, it visibly softens the look of fine lines and refines texture, without the irritation or sun sensitivity of retinol.

Questions
Good to know.
How is this different from retinol?
Our hero active, Bidens Pilosa, is a plant based retinol alternative that visibly smooths and refines the look of skin without the peeling, redness, or sun sensitivity many people get from retinol. It suits both morning and night.
Is it gentle enough for sensitive skin?
Yes. This plant based retinol alternative is well tolerated and non-sensitizing for most people, which is exactly why it is chosen by those who cannot get on with retinol. If your skin is reactive, patch test on the inner arm first.
Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Many people choose a retinol-free routine during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and plant based retinol alternatives are often chosen for that reason. We are not able to give medical advice, so please check with your doctor or midwife before starting anything new.
When will I see results?
With daily use, most people notice softer, smoother-looking skin within four to six weeks, and fine lines continue to improve over 8 to 12 weeks. Consistency matters more than quantity.
Can I use it with Vitamin C or other actives?
Yes. This serum layers happily with Vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. Apply it to clean skin, then follow with moisturizer and, in the morning, SPF.
