Review: Gentle yet effective - I was looking for a gentler alternative to traditional retinol, and this serum delivers noticeable results without the irritation that often comes with stronger retinoids. The texture is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into the skin, making it easy to layer with other products. Since using this, I’ve noticed that my skin feels smoother and looks more refined. Fine lines, especially around my forehead and mouth, appear softened, and my complexion looks more even. The addition of peptides seems to help with firmness, giving my skin a more plumped-up look. I also appreciate that it doesn’t dry out my skin or cause flaking like some retinol products I’ve used in the past. Another thing I love is that it’s plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, which aligns with my preference for cleaner skincare. The scent is light and pleasant—not overpowering—which makes applying it a nice part of my nighttime routine. While it takes some time to see full results, the overall improvement in texture and hydration makes this a product I’d repurchase. If you have sensitive skin or just want a more natural alternative to retinol, this serum is definitely worth trying. It’s gentle yet effective, and the ingredient list is impressive. The only downside is the price, as it’s on the higher end, but considering the quality and results, I think it’s a worthwhile investment.
Review: One of the products I always have to have - My skin is super sensitive and temperamental and retinoids absolutely wreak havoc on my skin. I’m 41 and this is the time where I NEED to have very specific anti-aging products in my routine. Every single retinol product I’ve used, even prescribed, have just completely backfired. I did a lot of research and came across this product as an alternative. I’m not kidding you when I say that from the time I started using this particular product (there are a LOT of Bakuchiol products on the market) to now, my skin is noticeably smoother, refined, more lifted and firmer. After washing my face using a two step method with first using an oil cleanser to remove makeup and then going into my face wash, this is the first thing I apply to my skin after patting my face dry. I use 3 pumps, apply to my entire face and neck and then I use a derma roller after applying to push and massage all the product into my skin. I’ll let that sit for about 10-15 mins before applying following serums I’m alternating between and then apply my moisturizer as my last step. I’ve been through 3 bottles at this point. There was a period between bottle 2 and 3 where I lapsed in repurchasing and my skin started looking tired, dull, noticeably less firm and my forehead lines and under eyes became more pronounced. I knew I needed to repurchase and within a week all those things were rectified. It’s not harsh, smells amazing, feels great to apply, and works wonders. It’s a staple in my skincare. If you don’t tolerate retinoids or don’t want leap into that realm, get this product instead. It works, it’s worth the price, it’s amazing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use both Moon Fruit Serum and Bakuchiol Serum?**
A: You certainly can, but we like to think of MOON FRUIT Serum as a step-up from BAKUCHIOL Serum. You could also try alternating them each night. Either way, they are safe to use alone or together!

**Q: Can I use Moon Fruit Serum with an exfoliating product?**
A: Retinol alternatives like Moon Fruit Serum are more gentle on the skin, so they can be used together with exfoliating products. However, we recommend patch testing first since everyone’s skin tolerance is different.

**Q: What is the difference between Moon Fruit Serum and Bakuchiol?**
A: We suggest trying Moon Fruit Serum if you’re currently using a traditional retinol + want to keep up those results, but ditch the irritating side effects.

**Q: Is Moon Fruit Serum's packaging recyclable?**
A: Yes, the glass bottle can be recycled after rinsing. The pump cannot be recycled and should be disposed in the trash.
