EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Serum 30ml

Target visible fine lines, enlarged-looking pores and loss of firmness with the EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Serum, a nourishing Korean serum formulated with 0.5% bakuchiol, 13 peptides and five types of ceramides.

Bakuchiol provides antioxidant care and helps improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and elasticity without being a retinoid. A complex of 13 peptides, including copper tripeptide-1 and signal peptides, supports a smoother and firmer-looking complexion, while niacinamide helps balance the appearance of oiliness and minimise the look of enlarged pores.

Five ceramides, cholesterol, panthenol and eight forms of hyaluronic acid help maintain the moisture barrier and replenish hydration. The creamy serum texture leaves the complexion feeling moisturised, plump and comfortable without requiring the same gradual introduction typically associated with stronger retinoids.

Key Ingredients

Bakuchiol – 5,000 ppm / 0.5%: A plant-derived antioxidant used to improve the visible appearance of fine lines, firmness and uneven texture. The bakuchiol raw material has 99% purity; this does not mean that the serum contains 99% bakuchiol.

13-Peptide Complex: Includes copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl peptides, acetyl peptides and other targeted peptides that support smoother, firmer and more elastic-looking skin.

Five Ceramides: Ceramide NP, NS, AS, AP and EOP help replenish essential skin lipids and support a stronger moisture barrier.

Niacinamide: Helps improve dullness, uneven-looking tone, visible pores and the skin’s oil-moisture balance.

Eight Forms of Hyaluronic Acid: Provide multi-level surface hydration, helping the complexion appear smoother and plumper.

Panthenol, Beta-Glucan and Allantoin: Help soothe, hydrate and maintain skin comfort.

Squalane and Shea Butter: Provide emollient nourishment and help prevent moisture loss.

Berry Extract Complex and Astaxanthin: Deliver antioxidant care and help protect the complexion from environmental stress.

Who Is It For?

Recommended for:

• Early or visible signs of ageing
• Fine lines and uneven-looking texture
• Reduced firmness and elasticity
• Enlarged-looking pores
  
• Normal, dry and combination skin
• Anyone unable or unwilling to use retinol
• Skin requiring both firming and barrier care

Although the brand positions the serum as suitable for sensitive skin, the formula contains lavender, bergamot and sage oils, together with limonene and linalool. Very sensitive, rosacea-prone or fragrance-reactive skin should patch-test before regular use.

How to Use

After cleansing and toner, apply an appropriate amount evenly to the face and neck.

Gently massage following the skin’s natural texture, then pat until absorbed. Follow with moisturiser if additional hydration is required.

The serum can be used every morning and evening. If your skin is highly sensitive, begin once daily or every other day before increasing the frequency.

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?

No. Bakuchiol is a plant-derived cosmetic ingredient and is not a retinoid or a form of vitamin A. It may provide some similar visible benefits, such as improving fine lines and texture, but it does not work identically to retinol and should not be described as an exact replacement.

Does the serum contain 99% bakuchiol?

No. The formula contains 5,000 ppm, equivalent to 0.5% bakuchiol. The “99% pure” statement describes the purity of the bakuchiol raw material rather than its concentration in the finished serum.

Can it be used with retinol, vitamin C or exfoliating acids?

It can generally be combined with vitamin C. Bakuchiol may also be used alongside retinoids or exfoliating acids, but sensitive skin may experience irritation when several active products are layered together. Introduce combinations gradually or alternate them between different routines.

Can it be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Bakuchiol is not a retinoid and is often chosen as an alternative to retinol. However, pregnancy-specific safety data for topical bakuchiol are limited. Customers who are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive should consult their doctor before use.
