The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum & Niacinamid 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, visibly balancing and smoothing your skin with 1% Bakuchiol and 5% Niacinamide.

This active slow-aging oil serum offers rich and hydrating care for sensitive, mature, dry, and blemish-prone skin. It combines moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera juice, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid with nourishing oils such as squalane and plum kernel oil, along with the key ingredients Bakuchiol and Niacinamide.

It also contains powerful antioxidants and adaptogens like butterfly bush, organic saffron, and Q10, which protect and regenerate the skin.

• Bakuchiol has been proven to stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture and firmness.
• Both Niacinamide and ceramides 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 directly contribute 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 combat blemishes and acne.
• Coenzyme Q10 is a small-molecule antioxidant that can penetrate deep into skin cells. It has anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and skin-building effects. 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 neutralize free radicals.

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

Active Ingredients

• Bakuchiol / Bakuchi Seed Oil (Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) Seed Oil) is derived 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 skin tone and helps normalize individual skin pigmentation. Bakuchiol has been proven to stimulate collagen production, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture and firmness. The ingredient has a long tradition as a medicinal plant in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike traditional retinoids, it does not cause skin burning, irritation, or redness.
• Niacinamides (Vitamin B3) support 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.” Due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, Niacinamide can also positively influence inflammation and moderate acne.
• Aloe Vera Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) provides natural moisture, prevents skin dryness, and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe Vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential amino acids. It supplies the skin with oxygen and is considered effective in supporting cell renewal. It 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 connective tissue, filling and supporting it. Due to its ability to bind large amounts of water, it is responsible for the skin’s moisture content. Hyaluronic acid also promotes skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, we lose our natural hyaluronic acid, which is one of the main causes of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps fill in fine lines and plump the skin.
• Saffron (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 combat blemishes and acne. It can protect against UV damage and prevent premature skin aging. Lycopene, zeaxanthin, as well as alpha- and beta-carotene help minimize scars, brighten the skin, and make it soft and smooth.
• Butterfly bush extract (Buddleja Officinalis Flower Extract) can protect the skin from the harmful effects of blue light. It acts like a shield, blocking not only blue light but also infrared and UV light. Additionally, the ingredient strengthens the skin barrier and elasticity by stimulating elastin production.
• Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful, small-molecule antioxidant that penetrates deep into the epidermis. It protects the skin from oxidative stress and has regenerative, skin-building, and anti-inflammatory effects. It inhibits collagen breakdown and reduces skin damage caused by free radicals. The enzyme has been shown to help strengthen the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Q10 levels decrease with age, making the skin more sensitive to stress.
• Ceramides are lipids (fats) naturally found in our skin. They form the basis of the skin’s barrier function. The skin barrier ensures that no harmful substances penetrate the skin and that the skin remains well hydrated. A functioning skin barrier is essential for healthy skin. Ceramides reduce water loss from the skin, also called TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss), and protect against environmental stressors, bacteria, and other influences the skin is exposed to. Ceramides are therefore an effective anti-aging ingredient that also helps keep the skin supple and soft.

FAQ

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

Yes! The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum is very well suited for sensitive skin. Unlike synthetic retinol, which can cause redness and skin peeling at high doses, the natural plant extract Bakuchiol is very well tolerated even at high and effective concentrations like the 1% used in the serum. The relatively high 5% concentration of Niacinamide is also generally well tolerated by the skin.

Additionally, the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum, like all Ruhi skincare products, is mildly formulated and contains no alcohol, fragrances, essential oils, or other potentially irritating ingredients. At the same time, these ingredients have been proven to strengthen the skin barrier.

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

Yes! Ruhi even recommends morning use, as the oil serum protects against environmental damage with potent adaptogens and antioxidants.

The 2-Phase Bakuchiol Oil Serum can be used during the day without any issues because, unlike synthetic retinol, it does not make the skin light-sensitive.

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

Although both serums contain the slow-aging hero ingredient Bakuchiol, they are by no means the same. On the contrary, they complement each other wonderfully. Due 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 moisturizing ingredients like organic aloe vera juice and hyaluronic acid (1%), the serum has a lighter texture, making it perfect for warm seasons.

Protective antioxidants like saffron and butterfly bush make it ideal for daytime use. The richer Bakuchiol Oil Serum can be used additionally in the evening. The powerful combination of 1% Bakuchiol and 5% Niacinamide also effectively fights wrinkles and fine lines, reduces the appearance of pores, and makes the 2-Phase Bakuchiol Serum the perfect slow-aging product.
