Handmade Heroes 2% Bakuchiol Oil Lifting and Firming Oil for Guasha Neck, and Décolleté, All Natural Retinol Alternative For Radiant and Line Smoothing 0.75oz

I’ve been using this for a couple weeks now. Was hesitant to buy it since I typically have oily/combo break-out-prone skin and oils can make this skin type break out easier.So far so good though! I love how it makes my skin feel. Not too shiny, but still moisturized enough that I started skipping my hyaluronic acid and moisturizer at night. (I still use moisturizer during the day for the SPF part.) I use one drop on each cheek, one on the forehead, and 2 drops on my neck.No comments on how effective the bakuchiol 2% is. Will update review if I start getting lots of compliments on how young I look. lol.

I bought this to use for a fingertip face-lift instead of hypocalciuric acid and I feel like it has really helped minimize my pores and hydrate my skin which says a lot because u always forget to drink water. The only complaint I have is the smell, I wish it smelled better

My skin was getting a little irritated likely owing to all the serums I compound—guess I’ve bought into the Niacidamide and C hype—and I was looking to add a new moisturizing compound with plant-based sqaualene. Bakuchi is an Ayurvedic ingredient that seems to be used mainly for treatment of vitiligo and eczema, which I don’t have, but I did not want to tear up my skin anymore with retinol, which is now lauded as the holy grail for collagen preservation. I introduced this, alternating nights, and I did get a little peeling, but that could be just because my water intake is sketchy. I noticed a near-instant moisture improvement though. I do also love the inclusion of turmeric oil. I wish there was a way to verify the bakuchi is cold pressed and at the volume advertised. So far, so good, but I gave it four stars because I got a bottle with an open box and with no seal. I returned and ordered another, and it too had no seal. Also, this is a clear bottle, which may not be great for preserving bakuchi oil. Too early to say there are clear benefits in wrinkles but moisturizing benefit is an absolute.

This oil is light yet effective. Does my aging skin good!

The company reached out to me and offered me a refund, which was very nice, so I am updating this review for the good customer service.I have never had a facial product give me a rash before and I’ve used other brands that included bakuchiol. I suppose it could be one of the other ingredients or a combination. Anyway, that was a waste of money.

I was worried about the smell and the way the bottle would show up from the other reviews. It arrived with no issues and the smell, while not the best in the world, is not unpleasant- just different.It is very potent though and you only need a little for great hydration. Fingers crossed that it does the job! 🤞🏻

Let me say that I do not have sensitive skin nor allergies and normally do okay with introducing a new product. This product destroyed my skin barrier and caused some type of contact dermatitis! I typically use a prescription retinol but cannot use retinol at the moment. I went on with my usual nightly routine and woke up to my eyes almost swollen shut and my face blistering red. My neck became so itchy and irritated and also burned.I even did a patch test prior and everything was okay but apparently not as it literally damaged my skin. First photo was morning after first use. Second photo is day two after first use.I would not recommend this product due to the clear contact dermatitis, also reported by others, as well as the packaging. The bottle had fluid all over the outside when I opened the box. There are inconsistencies reported from so many other reviews on this product. Clean ingredients or not, this product is NOT it. Find a better, more reputable company to get your bakuchiol needs so you don’t ruin your skin barrier with this one.

The research on this natural product is impressive. I have used it daily with good results. My skin is sun-damaged, and it has improved the coloration and softness of my skin. It's much less expensive than pure retinol; the results, however, are comparable. Sometimes I add a small amount to my moisturizer in addition to putting it on as a base serum. What's left on my fingers goes on the back of my hands which also have dark spots.
