Amazing
This serum is lovely to use. Light weight, light smell, absorbs well and I have included it often over the last 2 years in my routine. I don't use Vitamin A products but wanted to start and preferred that this is natural with no side effects at all. No stinging or peeling skin ever. Very happy with this and whilst I did not do a before and after I believe my skin has benefited from this as a booster.
I was recommended trying bakuchiol by a family member after I started looking into Retinol products for my acne prone skin. After I have had great success with other La Mav products I gave this one a go and absolutely love it. It feels so great on the skin, and it definitely packs a punch. My skin dried out quite a lot after I started using it, so I would recommend starting with a few times per week and building up to every other night if it works well with your skin. It's still absolutely effective this way. It's a great price point for this product and I will be purchasing another bottle.
Great product, gentle but effective

I was wrong to think that you shouldn't use oil products on acne-prone skin like mine. I am so glad I sent an enquiry to lamav to seek help and Lucy was so kind to explain in detail. So glad I found lamav, I can truly say it has healed my acne in 6 months. I use 5 products - Double Cleanse with Marula Oil and Sweet Orange Balancing Cleanser, then use Probiotic Toner. After cleansing I use Daily Vitamin C Serum during the day and alternate Bakuchiol 4% Booster and Omega Oil at night. I have a long way to go, but my chin is looking so much better. I will continue to use these products as they have been life changing for me.
I've been using it every night for the past four weeks, and I have started to notice a significant improvement in the overall texture of my skin with brighter looking skin and less discolouration. Fine lines on my forehead have become less obvious and I can’t wait to see further results. It really boosts my daily skincare routine.

Great product, gentle but effective
This is the first time I've tried bakuchiol, I was bit suspicious because it is a natural Vitamin A. I was desperate as dermatologist prescribed Vitamin A has made my skin extremely dry and irritated. I have acne prone skin and I have seen my skin is a lot calmer since using Lamav Bakuchiol. Certainly will keep using it.
My dermatologist suggested BAKUCHIOL as I was having a very uneven texture. I have been using it for a month now and I can see the difference. Amazing product
I've been using this product for 6 months and I really love it! My skin feels firmer. Highly recommended!
This is my second pack of bakuchiol, and I love it. My skin feels soft and nourished. I recommend this to everyone looking for a perfect skincare product.
This bakuchiol serum is great. It moisturises and helps my skin and makes it look better. This is my second bottle. I love it!
Im 40, I use Bakuchiol to soften wrinkles. I used to use a serum containing 1.25% Bakuchiol and was curious to try something with a slightly higher dose. I find this one, at 4% is noticeably better. this serum is LUXE! I use it at night under a retinol cream and it helps my skin to tolerate the retinol. In fact it helps my skin tolerate it so well I can now use retinol on my neck too which I was never able to do before.
I also use this in the morning. I really like how I can use it all the way under my eyes and it absorbs right in. I know that using such an expensive product morning and night seems a little OTT, but I'd rather invest in quality that actually works.
I have tried this bakuchiol for the very first time and it seems great! My skin texture has improved and I have smooth and glowing skin just like I had in my early 20s. LOVE IT!!"
I've only been using this for the last two months and I can spot the difference! This is a must-have!"
I've only been using it for 30 days, and my skin is in love with it!
My skin feels smoother and glowing, and I can clearly see the difference. "
I've been using this product from last six weeks now, and I'm in love with it! My skin feels tighter and I can clearly see the improvement.
Retinols are best for the skin, but this natural alternative is a miracle product for me. I have been using it for the last 5 weeks, to treat acne and hyperpigmentation. Being a beach lover, I had messed up with my skin texture, and with Bakuchiol, I have smooth and soft skin back again. I just love this product.
Good product that absorbs easily and smooths the skin. Does not cause irritation, acne or pimples. Overall, very good alternative to many anti-aging products that contain chemicals and unnatural ingredients.
This is the most effective product I've found to keep acne in control.
A great alternative for retinol.. I use to feel retinol was too harsh on my skin but this serum is truly something else. It absorbs right in and my skin feels plump and brighter. It took a little while to start working.
Great booster I use it after cleansing and toning. Skin feels firmer and absorbs completely. I have been using for 12 weeks and must say it makes my skin look and feel more toned and clear. It has a beautiful glow.
Only been using this for two weeks and my skin loves it! I can clearly spot the difference and my skin feels firmer. Love! Love!
This week is week 12 and I can honestly say this product has helped in healing my acne. Thankful to people who created this product.
Every beauty expert recommends to start using Vitamin A from an early age. I wanted to use something natural. This seemed perfect, ladies from Kunara Health Shop highly recommended this. I have been using it every other day for the past 3 months and my skin texture is looking so much better.
Works great for dull and blotchy skin. It is a little pricey for 30ml but it works. I used it every other night and it lasted for 2 months. I am really happy with how it has brighten my dull skin.
My skin is extremely sensitive..prone to breakouts which makes me always worried when trying new products. But this serum is just Amazing!! After a week or so of using it every morning and before bedtime, I feel like I’m literally glowing! Thrilled with this serum.
I received a sample of this and it changed my skin in terms of breakouts. I probably had the clearest skin I've ever had using this. Will definitely purchase full size and hope that longer term use has an effect on lines and wrinkles.
I've been using it every night, and have started to notice a significant improvement in the overall texture of my skin with fewer wrinkles and less discoloration. Nice addition in my skincare routine.
I've been using it every other night (alternate with Collagen Booster) for a few weeks now and my skin is a lot smoother & looks plumper in the mornings. I've also noticed a reduction in the redness in my cheeks. It smells nice and has a really nice texture so easy to apply and feels good on the skin.
I was looking for an alternative since retinol didn’t suit my sensitive skin. Glad to find this organic serum by LAMAV. It didn’t have any harsh reactions on my skin, in fact, my skin feels so smooth and hydrated just after a few days of use.
