How to Use
Our Boosters are like supplements for your skincare and can be added to existing products to enhance their performance.
Mix 2–3 drops into your serums, moisturisers or masks. Alternatively, apply directly to skin in any step after cleansing.
WHERE Apply to face and neck.
WHEN Use this face oil 1x or 2x daily. Unlike conventional retinol, Bakuchiol doesn’t increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. But we always recommend wearing an SPF in the daytime.
Add 2-3 drops to your favourite moisturiser, serum or mask. Think of it as a supplement for your skincare. It boosts whatever you're already using.
Go Solo
Apply 2-3 drops directly to your face and neck after cleansing. Light, fast absorbing and silky. No fuss, just results.
Round the clock.
Use morning or evening as the last step in your routine. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol won't increase sun sensitivity. But we'd still recommend an SPF during the day.

Got questions?
Why has the formula been upgraded?
The base is the same with a slight upgrade! It's still 1% Bakuchiol and squalane.
Some people found the original squalane-only base a bit heavy so we've added two lightweight coconut-derived emollients that help the formula absorb faster and feel silkier. The squalane is still there doing its moisturising job. It's just got backup now.
They're completely non-comedogenic, scoring 0-1 on the comedogenic scale, the same as squalane. The only difference you'll notice is a silkier finish.
We love this product just as much as you do and would only make changes if we were sure it made it better for the long term.
Is it safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes! Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is completely safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As always, we'd recommend consulting your GP before introducing any new products into your routine.
Will it clog my pores or cause breakouts?
Bakuchiol Booster is completely non-comedogenic. Every ingredient in the formula scores 0-1 on the comedogenic scale, meaning they won't clog pores. It's lightweight, fast absorbing and suits all skin types including oily and acne-prone.
How long before I see results?
Many notice a difference from the first few uses, with smoother, softer skin straight away. More significant results like improved firmness, texture and reduced fine lines tend to develop with consistent use over a few weeks. Stick with it, your skin will thank you.
How long does a bottle last?
A 30ml bottle goes a long way. Using 2-3 drops daily, you can expect it to last around 2-3 months depending on use.
Why do I need a booster?
Think of it as a supplement for your skincare. Bakuchiol Booster works alongside your existing routine to deliver targeted results. Mix it in or use it solo, it levels up whatever you're already doing.
How should I patch test?
Apply a small amount to a clean area of skin. Keep the area dry and check after 24 hours. If any irritation, burning, itching or redness occurs, don't continue using the product. If you have very sensitive skin, we'd suggest patch testing for a few days before using it on your face.

I’ve been using the BYBI Bakuchiol Booster for a while now and I really like how gentle it feels on my skin. My skin can get quite dry and sensitive, so I love that it feels nourishing without being heavy or irritating. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, and it’s become a really nice little step in my evening routine.
I found the bakuchiol booster a few years ago and I loved it, I was so sad when it went out of stock. I was so excited when I saw it was back and it's just as good as I remember! It's incredibly light, absorbs easily and not too oily, it really evens out my complexion and really improves redness on my skin from spots etc. An absolute must in your nighttime routine!
I live in a very dry climate and my aging skin thrives best with facial oils. This is my favorite bcs it hydrates without enlarging my pores, has bakuciol for my sensitive skin and is the right price point. Highly recommend!
I’ve been using the BYBI Bakuchiol Booster consistently for about a month, and I’m genuinely impressed. My skin feels smoother, softer, and more hydrated, and I’ve noticed a healthier glow without any irritation. I love that it’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers easily with the rest of my skincare routine. As someone with mature skin, finding a gentle alternative to retinol that actually leaves my skin looking more even and refreshed has been a win. A little goes a long way, and this has definitely earned a permanent spot in my daily routine. Highly recommend!
Used it post partum. Use it every night. It’s such a nice alternative to retinol. I have sensitive skin but my skin took on this well. It’s nice to use for facial massage as well! I’m on my third bottle or maybe even fourth. I used to buy from Amazon but it got discontinued!
I have seen a great difference in my skin after four weeks of using the Bakuchiol Booster. My skin has less redness and the irritation is gone. I have had compliments about my skin looking like it’s glowing!
Wonderful for clogged pores
This product is wonderful for smoothing out my sensitive skin. I have small pores that easily clog and become itchy and painful (because I scratch). This serum has been great in clearing up any blemishes as well as lightening dark spots. Really love this! Not only does my skin look healthier it feels so much better, too!
Bakuchoil Booster
I love Bakuchoil Booster. My skin drinks up its radiant moisturising properties. When I don’t use it I notice the difference. I use two drops added to my skin care products.
Great oil for softening skin overnight
Love this product. A pleasure to apply to face every evening at bed time. Keeps skin very soft and lovely to apply.
Love
This is my favorite booster from BYBI. I have dry skin that needs a lot of moisture and this works amazingly, especially under make up. I’ve been using it for years and never found anything better.
LOVE this stuff. I was looking for a retinol alternative while BF and very impressed with how quickly I noticed the dark coloring around my eyes improve. Will definitely be buying again!
Great serum
I love this stuff and the fact that there are only two ingredients in it. I use it alone or as a booster to my retinol serum that was formulated without bakuchiol because there is much info available that the bakuchiol assists with the retinol.
LOVE BYBI!!!
I absolutely love this product! I use morning and night in place of my old retinol routine. It truly works better than retinol/retinoids and is such a healthier option. It’s also much more affordable.
I‘ve tried the glow currant booster and babe balm and love both as well. Customer service is beyond stellar! This company actually communicates with real, caring people in a super timely manner! I absolutely LOVE bybi!!!
Great product
I love this serum, makes my skin feel freshened and well fed. I use it mixed along with my normal moisturiser and the combo creates a lovely texture on my skin, soft, well absorbed, not greasy.
Fabulous product!!!!
I just love this product!!!! I’ve used this for 2 years now. It’s so gentle on your skin and gives it a lovely appearance. I have really sensitive skin and it causes me no problems at all.
This is magic in a bottle! I love mixing it with my fave serum or night cream and I always wake up to a plumped and hydrated face in the morning. :raised_hands:
Leaves skin dewy & hydrated
I am new to bakuchiol and am a convert. I love how this hydrates my skin overnight. One small bottle also goes a really long way as you only need a few drops. Great product.
Love this, excellent ingredients.
Love the fact this has bakuchiol in it. Absorbs well and I feel I see benefits to my skin after a period of a short time. Would recommend.
