Is bakuchiol face oil available without a prescription in Australia?

Yes. Bakuchiol is classified as a cosmetic ingredient in Australia, New Zealand, and the EU, and is widely available in over-the-counter skincare products without a prescription. This contrasts with high-strength prescription retinoids (such as tretinoin), which require a prescription in Australia.

Can I use bakuchiol face oil every day?

Yes. Bakuchiol is generally well-tolerated for daily use, both morning and evening. The ingredient is photostable, meaning it does not break down in sunlight and does not increase sun sensitivity in the way retinol does. Daily SPF use is still recommended as a general skincare practice.

Is bakuchiol face oil suitable for mature skin?

Bakuchiol face oil is well-suited to mature skin. The ingredient targets multiple visible concerns associated with skin ageing, including the appearance of fine lines, loss of firmness, and uneven skin tone, through a well-tolerated, non-irritating mechanism. The lipid-rich carrier oils in a face oil format also provide meaningful support for a mature skin barrier that may be producing less natural sebum.

Is bakuchiol better than retinol for ageing skin?

It depends on your skin's tolerance and priorities. Clinical research shows bakuchiol delivers equivalent reductions in the visible appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone compared to retinol, with significantly better tolerability. For more severe photodamage or deeper lines, prescription-strength retinoids remain the most clinically validated approach, but bakuchiol is well-supported by the available research as an alternative to over-the-counter retinol.

Benefits of Dermarolling

Studies have shown dermarolling can:

- Enhance product absorption to boost skin's glow

- Boost collagen production for glowing, firmer, plump skin appearance

- Improve appearance of skin texture: beneficial for anyone with uneven skin texture, stretch marks and skin prone to acne scarring

- Improve appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

- Brighter looking skin by targeting appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone

Who is this best for

All skin types. Especially beneficial for these concerns:

- Dull Skin

- Dark spots

- Uneven skin texture

- Fine lines

Dermarolling is not suitable if you have eczema, psoriasis, history of blood clots, active acne or warts.

How to use

1. Ensure dermaroller is sanitised with sanitiser spray

2. Glide dermaroller gently on clean skin, vertically, horizontally and diagonally. No need to press hard. Do not spend longer than 2-3 minutes doing this.

3. Apply Clearing Rescue Serum and Super Restore Oil directly after to enhance product absorption and glow!

Use with

As dermarolling enhances product absorption, use with hydrating serums that help with the skin regenerative process.

We recommend using Clearing Rescue Serum after and Super Restore Oil

Always follow with gentle, hydrating products after and avoid exfoliating or harsh products like retinols or AHA/BHA toners because skin will be slightly sensitive directly after dermarolling.
