And here’s why I don’t use retinol 👇
For a lot of people, including myself , retinol comes with a trade-off. Redness, dryness, peeling, and increased sensitivity to the sun. It works by speeding up skin cell turnover, but it can also leave your skin feeling stressed or compromised… especially if your barrier is already struggling.
And for me, that doesn’t align with what clean skincare should be.
Most retinol is lab-made, and while it can be effective, I don’t believe you need harsh or aggressive ingredients to get real results.
That’s why I use my Timeless Serum — a plant-based retinol alternative made with bakuchiol.
It helps smooth the look of fine lines and improve texture, giving you results comparable to retinol… without the irritation
Use a few drops on clean skin before your moisturizer, morning or night.
Same goal
Just a better way to get there ✨
