The Edyt Score

4.5 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.4/5

A retinol serum with peptides. Night texture and a slower age look, not the bakuchiol bottle.

Targets 4.5/5

For a straightforward retinol if bakuchiol is not the ask. Skip it if the deep-reviving bottle is already in use.

Formula standards 4.5/5

A serum. Night. Start slow. Eyes and corners stay off-limits if they sting.

The verdict

A fair retinol. The bakuchiol mix is the gentler listing.
