The Details

Retinol-like results without the drama.

This silky oil serum pairs 2% bakuchiol with micro-algae astaxanthin to visibly soften lines, boost firmness, and even tone while staying calm on sensitive skin.

Luxury skincare, affordably priced. Youth Nectar delivers an advanced blend of clean, skin-identical botanicals and potent plant-based antioxidants in every drop, crafted with vitamin-rich Argan, Squalane, Camellia, Rosehip, Pomegranate, and Cacay oils alongside synergistic actives—Bakuchiol (Sytenol® A), Vitamin E, and Astaxanthin.

Softer Lines and Wrinkles

Clinically proven bakuchiol delivers retinol-level results without the irritation or sun sensitivity retinol is known for. Skin looks smoother and more refined with consistent use.

Even, Radiant Tone

Reduces the appearance of pigmentation and uneven tone, revealing brighter, more balanced-looking skin over time.

Stronger, More Resilient Skin

Improves elasticity, helping skin feel firmer and more supported as collagen production naturally slows.

Clearer Skin, Fewer Breakouts

Bakuchiol also helps reduce acne, making this a rare formula that addresses aging and blemishes in the same bottle.

Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin

Paired with astaxanthin—one of skincare's most potent antioxidants—this formula supports renewal without compromising comfort, even on reactive skin. No phototoxicity, no sun sensitivity.

A Formula Your Skin Already Recognizes

Vitamin-rich Argan, Squalane, Camellia, Rosehip, Pomegranate, and Cacay oils mimic your skin's own fatty acid profile, so nutrients absorb rather than sit on the surface. The result: a smooth, silky texture that glides on and absorbs cleanly, with nothing wasted. Fragrance-free. Essential-oil free. Filler-free. Vegan. Non-comedogenic. Bottled in glass.

How To Use

Gently rub in 5–8 drops on face and neck at least 20+ minutes before bed. Do not rinse. If your skin appears orange, you've likely applied too much, but do not fret, keep rubbing it in until the tint* disappears.

*The tint is from Astaxanthin, the most powerful antioxidant in skincare, so soak up that goodness!

The best skincare routines use a combination of water and oil-based products to meet different skin needs. Here is a basic routine any skin will love, day or night:

  1. Cleanser (Face Wash) - Gently cleanse to remove overnight buildup and prep your skin.
  2. Toner - Apply a balancing toner to reset pH and add a layer of hydration.
  3. Moisturize - Use a lightweight moisturizer to hydrate without heaviness. Preferably water-based.
  4. Apply Serum - Use a few drops of Youth Nectar into damp skin to lock in moisture and deliver nutrients. If using during the day under makeup, apply sparingly.
  5. Sunscreen - (AM only) finish with a certified mineral based sunscreen to protect from UV damage (your biggest anti aging defense!)

Store in a dark and cool place.

Pair it with Ageless Body Dew to cover all your anti-aging needs from head to toe.

The Science Behind Sytenol® A Bakuchiol

FAQ

What is bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active (from Psoralea corylifolia) shown to deliver retinol-like results—smoother texture, fewer fine lines, more even tone—without the typical irritation. It’s antioxidant, barrier-friendly, and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone.

Why do people call bakuchiol “nature’s retinol”?

Because multiple studies show bakuchiol can improve wrinkles, pigmentation, and photoaging similarly to retinol—but tends to be better tolerated and not photosensitizing. Translation: you can use it day or night and still wear sunscreen as usual.

Bakuchiol is ultra sensitive and you won't ever experience "retinol burn" like retinol products.

What is Sytenol® A—and why does it matter?

Sytenol® A is the gold-standard, certified form of pure bakuchiol used in the majority of clinical research. Not all “bakuchiol” on the market is standardized; Sytenol® A guarantees identity, purity, and batch consistency so you’re getting the results the studies are based on.

How is your bakuchiol different from others?

Youth Nectar uses 2% Sytenol® A (not a generic extract), in an oil system designed to deliver actives while staying gentle. We say it's 100% optimized because we didn't just simply add in inexpensive filler oils and call it a day. We layered in other vitamin A-rich oils and even the most powerful antioxidant in skincare, astaxanthin! Many serums use low or undisclosed percentages or non-standardized sources.

Will bakuchiol make my skin sun-sensitive?

No—bakuchiol is not known to be phototoxic or photosensitizing. Daily SPF is still smart skincare, but you don’t need to avoid daytime use because of bakuchiol.

Is Youth Nectar safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. The formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, and non-comedogenic by design. Bakuchiol also shows benefits for blemish-prone skin while supporting barrier comfort. Many have used it successfully as a treatment for acne.

Can I use this if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

Bakuchiol is often chosen as a retinol alternative during pregnancy because it’s not a retinoid. That said, always review your routine with your healthcare provider.

Why does the serum have a slight tint?

That warm hue comes from astaxanthin, a powerhouse antioxidant. If you see a brief tint on application, keep massaging—it absorbs quickly. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin is 6000 times more potent than Vitamin C, and 550 times more potent than Vitamin E.

Is it really 100% plant-derived?

Yes—no fillers or synthetics. It’s vegan, fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, and packaged in glass.

Will it clog pores or cause acne?

Bakuchiol is actually used to treat acne. We have also selected lightweight, skin-identical oils (squalane, camellia) and balanced fatty-acid profiles to stay non-comedogenic for most skin types.

Is bakuchiol better than retinol for sensitive skin?

Often, yes. Bakuchiol delivers similar smoothing and brightening benefits with less dryness and redness, making it a strong pick for sensitive or reactive complexions.
