DIME TBT Serum — Anti-Aging Face Serum 1 oz (Bakuchiol, Mandelic Acid & Niacinamide) Gentle Exfoliation

DIME TBT Serum is a gentle, plant-forward anti-aging face serum that uses bakuchiol, mandelic acid, and niacinamide to refine texture, even tone, and visibly reduce the look of fine lines while you sleep.

This lightweight, leave-on exfoliant blends a retinol alternative (bakuchiol) with mandelic acid, niacinamide, and antioxidant-rich oils to target multiple signs of aging without heavy irritation. Formulated to be clean, vegan, and cruelty-free, the 30 ml bottle is designed for daily morning and evening use when your skin needs renewal and hydration alongside mild resurfacing.

How does this serum improve skin texture and fine lines?

TBT Serum pairs bakuchiol — a botanical alternative to retinol — with mandelic acid to gently encourage cell turnover and smooth rough patches. Niacinamide supports barrier function and helps refine pore appearance, creating a more even surface over time.

• Bakuchiol: retinol-like effects without typical retinoid irritation
• Mandelic acid: slow, gentle exfoliation good for sensitive skin
• Niacinamide: reduces uneven tone and strengthens the skin barrier
• Oils and antioxidants: hydrate and protect during renewal

Can I use this every day and how do I layer it?

Yes — the formula is designed for twice-daily use. Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin, allowing full absorption before adding moisturizers or sunscreen in the morning.

• Start with one application per day if you have sensitive skin
• Layer under a moisturizer; wait a minute for absorption
• Always follow with SPF in daytime routines to protect renewed skin
• Avoid mixing with strong vitamin C or high-concentration AHAs the same application

Is this safe for sensitive skin and how does it compare to retinol?

Bakuchiol is known for offering retinol-like benefits with a lower risk of redness and peeling, and mandelic acid is a larger-molecule AHA that exfoliates more slowly than glycolic acid. DIME formulates TBT Serum to be gentle while still delivering visible refinement.

• Gentler alternative to prescription retinoids for many users
• Mandelic acid suitable for reactive or barrier-compromised skin when used responsibly
• Patch-test new routines and introduce gradually if concerned
• Follow product directions and discontinue with persistent irritation

What active ingredients are included and why do they matter?

TBT Serum combines multiple actives and nutrient-rich oils so you get exfoliation, barrier support, and antioxidant protection in one bottle. The formula avoids parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, and artificial fragrances.

• Bakuchiol: botanical retinol alternative to address wrinkles and firmness
• Mandelic acid: gentle chemical exfoliant for smoother texture
• Niacinamide: balances tone and strengthens the skin barrier
• Green tea, rosehip, pomegranate, avocado oils: antioxidant and lipid support

Who this is for: DIME TBT Serum suits anyone looking to reduce the visible signs of aging without the typical irritation of strong retinoids. It’s a good match for sensitive-to-combination skin types seeking a daily resurfacer that also hydrates and protects. If you prefer plant-derived actives, clean formulations, and vegan, cruelty-free skincare, this serum fits easily into both morning (with sunscreen) and evening regimens. Always patch-test and introduce new actives gradually; consult a dermatologist for concerns like pregnancy, breastfeeding, or prescription routines.
