Phyto R5 - Botanical Retinol Serum

• Apply to clean skin on the face, neck, and décolletage, morning and night.
• Enjoy powerful results.

Safe to use daily for normal skin - no need to “work your way up” like traditional retinol.

For Sensitive Skin
If your skin is easily irritated, start slow:

• Patch test first.
• Apply 3x per week, then increase to daily as your skin adjusts.

Even sensitive skin can experience smoother, brighter, and stronger results - without the sting of retinol.

Q: How much Bakuchiol is in Phyto R5?

A: Phyto R5 is formulated with 2% Bakuchiol — a clinically effective concentration chosen to deliver visible, retinol-like results while remaining safe for sensitive and fungal-acne-prone skin.

While many formulas stop at 1%, emerging research and formulation data show that 2% Bakuchiol provides enhanced collagen-supporting and texture-smoothing benefits without the irritation commonly associated with traditional retinoids. However, going beyond 2% offers no additional performance gains and can increase the risk of sensitivity — a classic law of diminishing returns.

At 2%, Phyto R5 achieves the ideal balance: maximum efficacy, minimal irritation, and full compatibility with reactive skin types.

And what truly sets Phyto R5 apart is that Bakuchiol is only one part of the story. It is supported by our 10% Phyto R5 Botanical Renewal Complex— a synergistic blend of four additional plant-derived alternatives that amplify renewal, firmness, and tone correction without compromising the skin barrier.
Retinol-like results. Zero retinol irritation. Sensitive-skin proven.

Q: What are the five star ingredients in Phyto R5?
A: Phyto R5 combines five plant-based alternatives that deliver powerful results—without the irritation of traditional retinoids. Each one plays a unique role in restoring balance, glow, and firmness to your skin.

• Bakuchiol bio-retinol – Derived from the Babchi plant, this natural retinol alternative visibly smooths fine lines and boosts firmness—without dryness or peeling.
• Edelweiss – The alpine flower known for resilience and nourishment; it helps hydrate and protect for a soft, radiant complexion.
• Sea Buckthorn – Packed with vitamins and antioxidants that rejuvenate dull, tired skin and refine texture for a healthy glow.
• Stevia – Calms inflammation and redness while soothing sensitive or reactive skin.
• Dew Bean bio-retinol – A nutrient-rich botanical that deeply hydrates and supports supple, youthful-looking skin.
  Together, these five bio-retinols work in harmony to deliver visible results—without irritation, purging, or sun sensitivity.
