Dermalogy Real Bakuchiol Firming Serum: Immediate Calming and Tightening Action Designed for mature skin or skin showing sagging elasticity, this serum combines tightening actives, antioxidants, and moisture to lift, smooth, and brighten without irritation. Its signature ingredient, bakuchiol, is a plant-based compound known for encouraging collagen synthesis and improving suppleness. It offers a gentle alternative for sensitive complexions that don’t tolerate traditional retinoids, and it can be used daily without triggering redness or sensitivity. Key benefits - A peptide pair, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, supports improved elasticity and helps smooth expression lines. - Plant-derived squalane delivers comfortable hydration with a non-greasy finish. Featured ingredients - Bakuchiol: a botanical alternative to retinol that stimulates collagen production and boosts firmness without irritation. - Hydrolyzed Collagen: smaller protein fragments that help enhance skin firmness and elasticity. - Retinoids (HPR and Retinol): vitamin A derivatives that promote cell turnover and help refine the look of fine lines. - Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: peptide that activates natural firming processes and softens wrinkles. - Squalane: a plant-based emollient that provides immediate hydration and supports the skin barrier without leaving a greasy residue. How to use Apply a moderate amount to clean skin after toning. Gently spread until fully absorbed. Suitable for morning and/or evening use, followed by your regular moisturizer.
