***UPDATE*** The newly reformulated Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum is here!!! 🤩
There are slightly fewer ingredients, omitting jasmine flower extract, Eclipta Protrata, Moringa oleifera seed oil, and Basil Flower Extract. In addition, some ingredients have moved up/down on the list.
Original Ingredients List:
New Reformulated Ingredients List:
After learning my beloved Herbivore Bakuchiol had been discontinued, I have decided to embark on a quest to find the closest and most compatible dupe for my skin, which right now is normal.
Here are the contenders....
Biossance Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum,Alpyn Beauty Hydrating Sleeping Mask with Melatonin & Wild Dandelion 2.0 oz/ 59 mL , The INKEY List Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Moisturizer 1 oz/ 30 mL, Burt's Bees Renewal Intensive Firming Serum and Mahalo's Photo-Retinoic Restoriing Night Serum. Not pictured:OLEHENRIKSEN Glow Cycle Retin-ALT Power Serum
Ingredient List Comparison with Bakuchiol in bold for quick reference:
Why do I care so much about bakuchiol 🤷🏻♀️
Me too, @l8totheparty! It’s on my list for the end of the month sale👍🏼
@eshoe Curious if you ever picked a winner. With the sale coming up, I only now noticed Herbivore released the reformulation just when I landed on trying out the Ole Henriksen. So now I’m indecisive!
You are currently trying out the OLEHENRIKSEN Glow Cycle Retin-ALT Power Serum ,@lnum? I just finished a DS and enjoyed it. The scent and hue remind me of the Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL. As far as how well it works, I was happy with it. All of the bakuchiol products seemed to plump my skin, but none lasted as long as the Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum. @itsfi gave me a heads up a while back that a new formulation would be released, and while I’m planning to try it, am trying not to get my hopes up.
That being said, if it does perform similarly to the original, it will be my one and only 💗
@eshoe I have not tried the OH yet, I was planning to purchase it during the sale, but now the Herbivore is back I will purchase that instead.
I hope to pick it up soon as well, @lnum. I’m very curious how different it will be, if at all.
@eshoe @lnum - Here are the ingredients for the new version (from the Herbivore site). I'm not seeing bakuchiol or babchi plant extract. Typo? BTW, this is the one that will be going on my list too!

@Titian06 @lnum how strange, I had replied to this thread with the different ingredient lists but that post seems to have disappeared. Thank you Titian06 for your eagle eyes 😉
Psoralea Corylifolia Seed Extract is aka as bakuchi or babchi. From what I found doing a little research, Bakuchi oil is extracted from the plant seeds. Bakuchiol is a name for the extract. So...I wonder if they are using a different distillation method?
Besides that, the new formulation has a few less ingredients, omitting the jasmine and basil extracts and a couple of other ingredients. A few things are shifted around as well.

Well I usually forget to read the ingredient list altogether @Titian06 😂 Herbivore had sourcing issues with something, I don’t know which ingredient, which is why they discontinued it in the first place🤷🏻♀️
@Titian06 I did the same thing last night I compared ingredients. It’s listed as the fourth ingredient under the name Psoralea Corylifolia Seed Extract.
It’s been a few weeks since I started, and I’m nearing the end of my first trial. Each has been tested by itself for one week, at a minimum three times, but closer to five in a seven day period. My next step is a two week trial of each to better understand the nuances; this is for initial thoughts only.
Still have OH to try, in the meantime will run everything through again with two weeks each instead of just one.
Thank you so much for your thoughts on these @eshoe!
Thank you, @faeriegirl! Do you have favorites? Or do you have a retinol <3?
@eshoe Herbivore is the only bakuchiol I’ve tried. I will probably try the Inkey list next. If not I might try the DE A passioni again. I’m hoping when my Sephora store reopens they might still have the herbivore in stock🤞
@faeriegirl I am happy with a decent $10 substitute. I was pulling for the Burt’s Bees because it’s so pleasant to use, but I have to remind myself why I am looking for a dupe. I can get pretty packaging from masks😂
@eshoe I saw this mask on Instagram and I really want to try it. It has royal jelly, snail, bakuchiol, and peptides. I had never heard of the brand but it looks great.
Wow look at all those peptides, @faeriegirl 🤩 and snail. And bee pollen, niacinamide and Bakuchiol? I wonder if there are any DS floating around, it sounds pretty amazing!
