What you can expect
RETINOL-LIKE RESULTS, LESS IRRITATION
Bakuchiol triggers the same skin-renewal pathway as retinol without the redness, peeling or sun-sensitivity. Studies show comparable fine line reduction over 12 weeks.
SOFTER FINE LINES IN 8 TO 12 WEEKS
Visible improvement in fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead with nightly use. No purge phase, no flaking.
SQUALANE CARRIER, NO STING
Suspended in plant-derived squalane, the oil glides on, absorbs cleanly and won't sit greasy. Safe for sensitive skin that reacts to retinol.
FRAGRANCE-FREE, THREE INGREDIENTS
Squalane, bakuchiol, vitamin E. Nothing else. The shortest active ingredient list in the Eleven 2 range.

When in your routine
PM only. Final or second-to-last step. Apply 2 to 3 drops after serums, before sealing moisturiser. Do not use AM.
Layer with
Pairs with Eleven 2 Hyaluronic Serum or Niacinamide underneath. Avoid stacking with Glycolic Toner on the same night, alternate by evening. Do not combine with vitamin C in the same PM routine, save vitamin C for AM.
Skin type
Suits all skin types. The honest pick for anyone who cannot tolerate retinol, including sensitive and rosacea-prone skin. A plant-derived alternative that mimics retinol's anti-ageing action without the redness, peeling or photosensitivity.
How often
Start every second or third night for two weeks, then increase to nightly if skin tolerates. Bakuchiol does not cause photosensitivity but always pair daytime SPF.
