Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum
"OK, so maybe you can't pronounce it, but that doesn't mean you should pass on the Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum ($54). The naturally derived ingredient bakuchiol is picking up steam in the skincare world as a gentler alternative to my personal favourite ingredient, retinol, but I actually dig this lightweight serum for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. After using it for just a few days, my skin looked more hydrated and less red — a big plus during the warmer months." — KC
