EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Face Serum – 30ml, 5,000 ppm Bakuchiol with Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid for Sensitive Skin

EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Face Serum is a gentle, plant-derived retinol alternative formulated to firm, hydrate, and refine pores without irritating sensitive skin.

This lightweight Korean-style serum combines 5,000 ppm bakuchiol with supportive actives — niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, 13 peptides and five micro-encapsulated ceramides — to help visibly smooth fine lines, balance oil, and improve skin texture. Designed for daily use within a modern skincare routine, it aims to deliver the look of firmer, more hydrated skin while staying suitable for reactive complexions.

How does this serum deliver anti-aging benefits without retinol-like irritation?

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient that can promote smoother-looking skin while offering a more soothing profile than traditional retinoids for many users. EQQUALBERRY pairs a high-concentration bakuchiol base with peptides and ceramides to target firmness and support the skin barrier, reducing the chance of dryness or redness.

• 5,000 ppm bakuchiol for gentle, targeted support
• 13 peptides to help improve the appearance of fine lines
• Five micro-encapsulated ceramides for barrier repair and moisture retention
• Formulated to minimize irritation, suitable for sensitive skin types

What does this serum do for hydration and pore appearance?

Multiple hydrating technologies work together to boost surface moisture and plump fine lines. Hyaluronic acid hydrates, while niacinamide helps regulate oil production and refines pore appearance for a smoother finish.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate and lasting hydration
• 4% niacinamide to help control excess oil and reduce visible pores
• Ceramides lock in moisture to maintain a resilient skin barrier

How should I incorporate it into my routine and what can I expect?

Use after cleansing and toner, before heavier creams or oils, both morning and evening as tolerated. Expect improved hydration and a softer texture within weeks; cumulative firmness and reduction in fine lines typically follow with consistent use.

• Apply 2–3 drops to face and neck on clean skin
• Follow with moisturizer and SPF in the morning
• Patch-test if you have very reactive skin and increase frequency gradually

Is this safe to use with other actives like vitamin C or AHA/BHA?

EQQUALBERRY’s formula is designed to be compatible with common skincare actives, but layering strong exfoliants or vitamin A derivatives can increase sensitivity. Introduce combinations slowly and monitor skin response, and always use sun protection during daytime use.

• Can be mixed into routines with vitamin C, AHAs/BHAs, or peptides
• Avoid concurrent use with potent retinoids without professional guidance
• Apply sunscreen daily when using active ingredients

Who is this for: This serum is aimed at anyone seeking a gentler path to firmer-looking, hydrated skin — especially people with sensitive or combination skin who want anti-aging effects without typical retinol irritation. It suits those who prioritize barrier support and pore refinement while using clean, targeted actives in their skincare regimen.
