Details & care
What it is: A powerful retinol alternative concentrate that may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth skin texture and amplify anti-aging results.
What it does: The percentage in the product title signifies the strength of the concentrated dose of the active ingredient within our formulation. The brand's Retinol Alternative Elixir harnesses an above-average strength of 2% bakuchiol since it is a naturally derived alternative, which allows it to be a higher concentration and more gentle on the skin.
How to use: Usethe elixir in the AM and PM on freshly cleansed skin. Apply directly to targeted areas or blend to boost other products. For use as a targeted treatment, apply a generous layer directly to skin.

A Retinol Alternative you can feel good about!
I love that Ogee sells this retinol alternative. I'm also using their retinol, but I only use that every other night. I feel good about using the Bakuchiol 2% Elixir daily because it's a natural retinol alternative that yields similar results. My skin has cleared up and feels hydrated and brighter after about a month of regular use. I will be adding this to my permanent morning skincare routine.

Not Recommended
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My skin has always been very good and very clear. After using this product and the sample pack it is horrible. I have used multiple skin care as I do change every few years and this line has been horrible. I have already had to go to my dermatologist. its only been a few weeks. I will not advise this.

Could not love this more
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this! My skin is so sensitive to Retinol and this alternative is PERFECT. I’ll never go back. My skin has never looked better.

Love!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this product in the am and pm. I love it because it’s not as harsh as the regular retinol, and I feel it works just as well on my skin. It’s very hydrating and it makes my skin look more youthful and brighter!

LOVE this product - saved my pregnancy and post partum skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this product when I was pregnant with my first and my skin was constantly breaking out. I was getting a ton of acne in my t-zone and around my cheeks in the first and second trimesters. I started to see improvements within 2 weeks and haven't looked back! I continued using it postpartum and my skin stayed way more even and I didn't have any additional breakouts. I continued using it throughout my second pregnancy and now postpartum and have had the same results. Truly a miracle in a bottle - HIGHLY recommend.

Just started...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just started using this product, but it seems okay. My face feels a little more itchy than normal, it maybe due to the weather so I will give it some time.
