Key Hero Actives - 
Bakuchiol can be compared with Retinol in cell turnover activity but it does not cause the irritation that Retinol does.  Bakuchiol has less limitations of use, i.e. can be used twice a day, in conjunction with vitamin C and also used more safely on eye areas.  See more information below.

CoQ10, skincare powerhouse, energizes cell activity, reduces sun damage, evens skin tone, stimulates collagen production, replenishes skin cells, and diminishes wrinkles.

Orchestrate also hero’s Citrustem™ is a groundbreaking skincare ingredient sourced from orange stem cells. It works by restructuring and strengthening the dermal matrix, significantly improving skin firmness and elasticity. By restoring the extracellular matrix, Citrustem™ helps the skin regain the elasticity of 12 years prior, delivering a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Use Instructions: 3-4 (or more) drops, twice a day, to clean damp skin (face, neck, and décolletage, including eyes).  Always apply heavier cream serums like Orchestrate after water-based serum/toner.  Can be used as a very light moisturiser on its own under makeup or SPF but usually moisturiser is recommended on top of Orchestrate serum. Always finish with final layer of SPF during day.

Further info - Bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoageing but is better tolerated than retinol.

A 12 week study of 44 patients using either bakuchiol 0·5% cream twice daily or retinol 0·5% cream daily, proved -
“Bakuchiol and retinol both significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, with no statistical difference between the compounds. The retinol users reported more facial skin scaling and stinging.”
“demonstrates that bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoageing and is better tolerated than retinol. Bakuchiol is promising as a more tolerable alternative to retinol”*

Bakuchiol can be used in conjunction with Retinol – “When these two ingredients are paired together, you now have a more effective duo that provides anti-aging, collagen producing, hyperpigmentation-fighting, skin firmness restoring benefits with the unwanted side effects minimized”.**

Bakuchiol as an alternative to Retinol – Retinol is sometimes not tolerated well by sensitive skin, this is bakuchiol comes to the fore as your retinoid alternative (including use as an eye cream).  Retinol should not be used when pregnant or nursing please consult your healthcare professional about using Bakuchiol as an alternative during this time.

Takes up to 12 weeks to see skin improvements.
