Purevance Natural Retinol Alternative Oil Serum is a vegan facial oil serum (1 fl oz) that pairs Bakuchiol — the plant-based alternative to traditional retinol — with a nourishing blend of botanical oils to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and support smoother, more even-looking skin.

Many people love what retinol does but not how their skin reacts to it. This serum was made for them: a gentle nightly oil that supports skin renewal and radiance without a harsh adjustment period, in a silky, velvet-like texture with a subtle rose and woody aroma. The formula is made with 99% natural-origin ingredients, including certified organic components.
