Description
Bakuchiol or Babchi Oil (Psoralea corylifolia) has become the latest ingredient to be the miracle antidote for age spots and lines. All the hype may have some real merit and early studies suggest it might just be the retinol treatment without the side-effects of retinol.
Recently an American study was done that found Bakuchiol (Babchi) Oil worked as well or better than a .5% Retinol cream after 12 weeks showing improvement on hyperpigmentation and a reduction of wrinkles. Even better is that the women using the Bakuchiol cream did not experience the stinging, scaling and redness that those using the Retinol did.
Because bakuchiol is such a promising oil for helping skin rebound from the impact of sun exposure and loss of elasticity there are a host of products coming on the market including:
Biossance Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum at $72
ISDINCEUTICS MELATONIK 3-in-1 Night Serum at $160
Omorovicza Miracle Facial Oil at $125
(by the way the first three ingredients in Omorovicza are; Sweet Almond Oil, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride (a common and inexpensive skin softener) and Apricot Oilwhich all can be purchased for less than $0.45 per oz each).
This oil has been used for centuries in India for a variety of medicinal uses and is a common treatment for home-remedy for Vitiligo. INGREDIENTS:
Babchi Oil
Blueberry Oil
Abyssinian Oil
Black Currant
Hemp
Rice Bran
Moringa
Vanilla
Tangerine
Helichrysum
Verbena

This stuff is wonderful! And it smells amazing! I use it at night and my skin feels so soft! I tried it once under the face lotion and makeup, but my face got too oily during the day. I took a before photo and I will update my review after I’ve been using it awhile.

Sadly, I dropped and broke the bottle before I got to use it. It smelled wonderful though and I salvaged a tiny bit to apply to my skin. It absorbed nicely without feeling greasy.

This face serum is awesome. I have been using it for a couple years. I love the high quality real ingredients. I layer with this first and follow with the red tea black currant face lotion. Makeup goes on nice. It has made a big difference for me.

I’ve been using facial products from Ziryab for about 4 years now (maybe 5). I ordered the Blueberry serum about 2 years ago. I love this product, I love the way my face feels after using this as well as all the products I use.

Bakuchiol is awesome. It doesn’t irritate like retinol. I love it to clear up all my sun spots. This has a bit of a strong smell, probably from the helichrysum, so beware if you are sensitive to smells.

I had to come back to the site to leave a review becuase of my great experience with this product. I started using it about 2- 2 1/2 months ago and have seen major improvements in my skin. I apply mostly around my eyes, forehead, and neck. I’ve had both my mother and boyfriend notice that my eye bags had been looking really good lately. I barely even need to wear concealer anymore! My forehead skin is so smooth- it almost looks airbrushed. I am very very pleased and feeling very confidant in showing my skin off now. This product smells great and after 2 months, I still have about 80% of the bottle left. I’ve recommended the product to multiple people already. I wish I had taken before photos (I was kind of skeptical of seeing any real, visible results) so that I could post the difference, because it would be amazing.

Love this oil! I asked for this as a Christmas present and have been using it for almost 5 months now and it is my new favorite face oil! I have really sensitive skin and a lot of allergies and this oil doesn’t make me break out! I live in the Sonoran desert so it is super duper dry out here and this saves my skin. This is one of my favorite shops as far as natural beauty products come, they are seriously so well made and good for you. Would give 10 stars if I could!

I’ve purchased some way over priced bakuchiol products and this one feels nicer going on because it doesn’t have any other weird ingredients or emulsifiers in it. I love what this oil does for my skin
