Huile Précieuse Face Oil by Aurélie

Huile Précieuse Face Oil

2% bakuchiol, cold-pressed base

A retinoid-adjacent oil for anyone whose skin will not tolerate retinal, or who wants something to alternate with it. Bakuchiol at 2% - the concentration used in the published comparison studies, not the trace amount that lets a brand name it - carried in cold-pressed rosehip, camellia and marula oils with a squalane cut to keep it from sitting heavy.

Eight drops warmed between the palms and pressed into damp skin is the whole method. In a 12-week user trial of 94 volunteers, 84% reported improved luminosity and 71% reported more even tone across the cheeks. Safe to use morning and evening, and safe during pregnancy, which is why half our clients came to it in the first place.

    The encapsulation actually works

    I am a dermatology nurse and I have started and abandoned four retinoids. This is the first one I got past week three with. No flaking, no stinging around the nose, and the texture change on my cheeks was obvious by the second month.

    Six months on the toner

    The 10% niacinamide is the only thing that has ever calmed the redness around my nose without making it worse first. It is not a dramatic product. It is just quietly better every month, and the pH being stated on the bottle is why I bought it.

    Finally a mineral SPF I will wear

    No cast on my skin tone, which has never been true of a zinc sunscreen before. It does take a good minute to blend properly, so take the instructions seriously. The powder layers over it without any mismatch at the jaw.

    They answered my email themselves

    I wrote asking whether I could use the bakuchiol oil while pregnant and one of the chemists replied the next morning with the actual reasoning, not a disclaimer. The oil itself is beautiful - eight drops on damp skin and nothing else needed.
