Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moisturizer
It is thicker than other products i used before. Applying is easy. Its scent is good and you can feel its hydrating effect. After the applying you can see a difference but I would not classify it as a "Glow Boost"

Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moisturizer
buffet like products (with lots of combined active ingredients) are always welcoming and I love them. This serum is made with decent actives such as bakuchiol, B3 and arbutin and it has excellent texture. So let's see what this product is.
Ingredients:
It contains 10% B3, 2% alpha arbutin, and 1% bakuchiol but according to the ingredient list, tranexamic acid (which is an excellent brightening ingredient) right after B3, so I guess it's more than 2% - collection of the good brightening ingredient, it's excellent. Then it contains lots of lots of extracts (which is irrelevant somehow) but I couldn't find the common preservatives in the ingredient list. I am not 100% sure whether they forgot to put on the list or used some extract mixture preservative substitute. I assume it's improper labeling, so I wouldn't writhe much further.
Texture:
The solution comes out as gel but it melts into the skin instantaneously. It's pretty decent texture and leaves skin glow temporarily. It's light texture and doesn't provide much hydration, so if you have dry skin then probably you should use additional moisturizer after.
Effectiveness:
Skincare is long term game and I fully understand it. I'm a Vine reviewer so I tried for 2 weeks even without knowing the exact formula. It actually DOES make skin glow and slightly improved some pigmentations.
Another Thought:
I couldn't find the origin of the manufacturing. Actually, it's pretty sensitive issue recently on Amazon. I reviewed this product so I used it but I am not sure you will want it as well because we really don't know where it's made.

Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moisturizer
I was not expecting this serum to smell like ...grapes? Blueberries? I'm not sure, it is a little fruity and youthful. It smells youthful and nice, but it isn't a scent that you smell a lot in skincare products. For me, I don't prefer it, but that's because it reminds me of grape-flavored lip balm and other things from my early teens. I think there are some people out there who will really like having it scented like fruit, though.
Another shocker for me - it was purple cream.
It blends in and absorbs fairly quickly and easily. My skin was soft afterward. I really like Bakuchiol as an ingredient and my skin responds well to it, compared to retinol.
I just couldn't find a lot of information about the manufacturers, which I didn't like. This is going on my body, so transparency and communication are really important here.

Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moisturizer
This is purple - why is it purple? It isn’t just a purple bottle - it will rub off on clothing and leave a purple mark if you touch it before it soaks in. Also it has a grape scent, again for reasons that aren’t clear. It’s possible that it’s used to cover up the scent of ingredients, and I sometimes think bakuchiol serums sometimes have a weird smell. Still, I don’t enjoy my face smelling like grape.
Aside from the coloring and fruity scent, this does seem to make my skin feel nice. Soft, hydrated, with no irritation. I think it’s probably a good serum overall, it just isn’t a good fit for me.

Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moisturizer
Well this serum is actually a light purple and has a very nice scent that reminds me of grape bubblegum but in a good way. The serum is quickly absorbed by the skin leaving it nice and soft. The product contains a lot of great ingredients, it is vegan and plant based. It contains Arbutus, Bakuchiol and TXA as well as a lot of nice plant and fruit extracts. I really like what's in this product and it does feel good on my face.
The one drawback is that there is no manufacturing information or information about ingredient testing or sourcing, who made it and where. The package plastic wrap has a stick on label that does say Made in the USA but that's it. The listing gives the manufacturer as BLIW Beauty House Cosmetics, Ltd. but a search brings up no results for this name. The brand name SC Sapphire is an online sales name but SC Sapphire does not appear on the box or the product bottle. So I really don't know, I like this product but have low confidence in knowing its actual origins, purity, production and ingredients.
