Bakuchiol Moisturizer

Want the smoothing effect of retinol without going near a retinoid? The INKEY List Bakuchiol Moisturizer is built on 1% bakuchiol — a plant-derived ingredient the brand uses as a natural alternative to retinol — wrapped in a lightweight cream that's gentle enough to wear morning and night.

What it actually does

• Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Bakuchiol at 1% targets visible signs of ageing — that's its core job here, per The INKEY List.
• Evens tone and brightens. The brand also points this plant-derived, antioxidant formula at dullness and uneven texture.
• Hydrates lightly. Squalane delivers weightless moisture without heaviness.
• Feeds the skin omega-3. Sacha inchi oil, rich in omega-3, nourishes while the bakuchiol works.
• Day-and-night friendly. Unlike retinol, this can go on in the AM as well as the PM. It's also vegan and cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Twice daily — morning and evening both work.
2. A pea-sized amount is enough for face and neck.
3. Serums first. Apply whatever serums you use, then finish with this as your cream step.

Questions

Is this a serum or a moisturiser?

It's a lightweight cream that sits in your moisturiser slot — you apply your serums underneath it, not on top.

Can I wear it during the day, unlike retinol?

Yes — The INKEY List states it can be used AM and PM. That flexibility is part of why bakuchiol is positioned as the gentler, plant-derived route to similar goals.

How long does delivery take?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — no cash on delivery.

Can I return it?

Only defective, damaged or expired items can be returned, and they must be reported within 1 day of delivery. Refunds go to the original payment method within 15–30 days.
