The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum & Niacinamide 30 ml

The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum with Niacinamide is a unique 2-phase hybrid product that combines the benefits of oil and serum and visibly balances and smoothes your skin with 1% Bakuchiol and 5% Niacinamide.

This active ingredient-rich slow-aging oil serum offers sensitive, mature, dry and blemished skin rich and hydrating care. It combines moisturizing ingredients such as aloe vera juice, ceramides and hyaluronic acid with nourishing oils such as squalane and plum kernel oil as well as the key ingredients bakuchiol and niacinamide.

It also contains powerful antioxidants and adaptogens such as butterfly lilac, organic saffron and Q10, which protect and regenerate the skin.

• Bakuchiol has been shown to stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines, and improve skin texture and firmness
• Both niacinamide and ceramide strengthen the skin barrier. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports the synthesis of lipids and ceramides, which are essential for the skin's barrier function. Ceramides are natural components of the skin and contribute directly to maintaining and strengthening the skin barrier.
• Saffron is a brightening, antioxidant powerhouse with strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It removes dead skin cells and excess oil and helps fight blemishes and acne.
• Co-enzyme Q10 is a small-molecular antioxidant that can penetrate deep into the skin cells. It has an anti-inflammatory, regenerating and skin-building effect. It inhibits collagen breakdown and reduces skin damage caused by free radicals.
• Butterfly bush extract can protect the skin from the harmful effects of blue light from screens and UV radiation and bind free radicals

These carefully selected components provide smoother, softer skin and can help minimize the appearance of pores.

Active ingredients

• Bakuchiol / Bakuchi Seed Oil (Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) Seed Oil) is obtained from the seeds and leaves of the Indian plant Psoralea Corylifolia and is considered a natural retinol alternative. A powerful plant for treating skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation and leukoderma. With antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties, Bakuchi promotes the natural shade of the skin and helps normalize individual skin pigmentation. Bakuchiol has been shown to stimulate collagen production, minimize wrinkles and lines, and improve the texture and firmness of the skin. The active ingredient has a long tradition as a medicinal plant in Ayurveda and in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike traditional retinoids, it does not cause skin burning, irritation or redness.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3) – supports the synthesis of lipids and ceramides, which are essential for the skin’s barrier function. They improve skin texture and even out uneven skin tone. The vitamins also help with hyperpigmentation and skin redness. Niacinamides can regulate sebum production and reduce overproduction. This makes pores appear smaller and less “stretched”. Thanks to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide can also have a positive effect on inflammation and moderate acne.
• Aloe Vera Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) provides natural moisture, prevents the skin from drying out and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe Vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes and essential amino acids. Provides oxygen to the skin and is believed to be effective in supporting cell renewal. Binds moisture, has a cooling, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.
• Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid / sodium hyaluronate) stores moisture up to 1000 times its weight. Hyaluronic acid is a main component of the connective tissue, it fills and supports the connective tissue. Due to its ability to bind large amounts of water, it is responsible for the moisture content of the skin. Hyaluronic acid also promotes the firmness and elasticity of the skin. As we age, we lose our natural hyaluronic acid, which is a major cause of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps fill in fine lines and plump the skin.
• Saffron (Crocus Sativus) is a brightening, antioxidant powerhouse with strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It removes dead skin cells and excess oil and helps against blemishes and acne. It can protect against damage caused by UV radiation and prevents premature skin aging. Lycopene, zeaxanthin and alpha and beta carotene help to minimize scars, lighten the skin and make it supple and soft.
• Buddleja Officinalis Flower Extract can protect the skin from the harmful effects of blue light. It acts like a kind of protective shield and blocks not only blue light, but also infrared and UV light. The active ingredient also strengthens the skin barrier and elasticity by stimulating elastin production.
• Co-enzyme Q10 is a powerful, small-molecule antioxidant that penetrates deep into the epidermis. It protects the skin from oxidative stress and has a regenerating, skin-building and anti-inflammatory effect. It inhibits collagen breakdown and reduces skin damage caused by free radicals. The enzyme has been proven to help strengthen the skin and reduce wrinkles and fine lines. The Q10 level decreases with age and makes the skin more sensitive to stress.
• Ceramides are lipids (fats) that occur naturally in our skin. They form the basis for the barrier function of our skin. The skin barrier ensures that no pollutants get into the skin and that the skin remains well moisturized. A functioning skin barrier is essential for healthy skin. Ceramides reduce water loss from the skin, also known as TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss), and protect against environmental pollution, bacteria and other influences to which the skin is exposed. Ceramides are therefore an effective anti-aging ingredient that also helps to keep the skin supple and soft.

FAQ

Is the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum also suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes! The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum is very suitable for sensitive skin. In contrast to synthetic retinol, which can lead to redness and flaking skin in high doses, the natural plant extract Bakuchiol is very well tolerated even in high and effective doses, such as the 1% used in the serum. The relatively high dose of 5% niacinamide is also generally very well tolerated by the skin.

In addition, like all ruhi skincare products, the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum is mildly formulated and does not contain alcohol, fragrances, essential oils or other potentially irritating ingredients. At the same time, these ingredients are proven to strengthen the skin barrier.

Can I also use the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum during the day?

Yes! Ruhi even recommends using it in the morning, as the oil serum contains potent adaptogens and antioxidants to protect against environmental damage.

The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum can easily be used during the day because, unlike synthetic retinol, it does not make the skin sensitive to light.

What is the difference between the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum and the Bakuchiol Oil Serum? 

Even though both serums contain the slow-aging hero ingredient Bakuchiol, they are by no means the same. Quite the opposite: They even complement each other wonderfully. Thanks to the innovative 2-phase formula, the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum not only nourishes the skin intensively, but also hydrates it at the same time. Thanks to the moisturizing ingredients such as organic aloe vera juice and hyaluronic acid (1%), the serum also has a lighter texture, which is perfect for the warmer seasons.

Protective antioxidants such as saffron or butterfly bush make it ideal for use during the day. The richer Bakuchiol Oil Serum can be used in addition in the evening. The powerful combination of 1% Bakuchiol and 5% Niacinamide also effectively combats wrinkles and lines and reduces the appearance of pores, making the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Serum the perfect slow-aging product.
