Whether you’re avoiding retinol due to skin sensitivity or are looking for a plant-based alternative, Bakuchiol is here as the vegan, cruelty-free, sensitive-skin-friendly option. This 100% natural ingredient is clinically proven to be equally as effective as retinol at reversing ageing, protecting skin from further damage, and improving problem skin.

Bakuchiol has been shown to boost collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce hyperpigmentation, inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. Unlike Retinol, Bakuchiol does not cause irritation or sensitisation. It can be applied morning and night – making it the superior choice for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Housed in a sustainable glass jar with an aluminum lid, this lightweight serum is formulated with vegan squalane to instantly moisturise and smooth skin. This super-powered plant-derived ingredient enhances the skin's natural barrier and locks in moisture for plump, radiant skin.

  • Reduce wrinkles by 29% in 12 weeks**
  • Decrease pigmentation by up to 28% in 4 weeks*

Reviews

Long time favourite - effective to lighten pigments

"I love the Bakuchiol serum to lighten my pigments without any harmful chemicals. The serum gets absorbed into the skin very quickly and the texture is so smooth!"

Caroline H. (5/5)

Moisturising without feeling oily

"I love this serum, I have oily combination skin and it hydrates my skin but feels light and works great with the phytofuse day cream. I usually add a light spf moisturiser and I’m set for the day. My skin feels supple and looks less tired in the mornings."

Sahar T. (5/5)

Inika Organic Bakuchiol Serum

"Love the texture, love the smell. It feels nourishing. I've tried other natural products but I always seem to come back to this serum."

Anna D. (5/5)

I like it.

"I have been using this for over a month. I still have fleckles and pigmentation, but I noticed my face looks smoother and a bit clearer. It dries quickly enough and makes my face moist and fluffy. I will definitely continue using this."

Keiko M. (5/5)

Love it

"My skin feels hydrated and glowing! Will definitely purchase again"

Angela C. (5/5)

Hydration and smoothness

"I purchased this serum about a month ago and have been using it religiously morning and night. While I think it is too soon to notice any difference in my fine lines, it definitely keeps my skin feeling hydrated, smooth and plump throughout the day. I will be repurchasing this."

Gary K. (5/5)

Fantastic product

"Fantastic product"

Dimitra R. (5/5)

Liking it a lot!

"Have been using a couple weeks and it sinks right into my skin. I really like the simplicity of ingredients for my picky skin! I hope to see results over time."

Olivia S. (4/5)

Amazing product

"Unbelievable product. I’ve never used anything like this. I would have oily type skin and even though I’m in my 40s, I’m still prone to spots. Since I’ve started using this at night, I haven’t had a single spot on my face and that’s been three weeks. My skin is in better condition than it has been ever. I bought this because there was an offer on at Black Friday and I had already been using some of the Make Up products by INIKA and was loving them, so I thought I would give a couple of other products ago. I was a bit sceptical because it seems quite oily in texture, but I did a better research online and it helps clear your pores. I wish I had been using this decades ago. I will be using this long-term."

Catherine (5/5)

Very nice

"Feels very gentle on the skin. I like the pump container. Haven’t used it long enough to notice any results."
