First Botany Korean Retinol Moisturizer Face & Neck Cream — 1.7 oz Hydrating Anti-Aging with Bakuchiol & Hyaluronic Acid

First Botany Korean Retinol Moisturizer is a lightweight anti-aging face and neck cream that blends retinol with bakuchiol, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acids to hydrate, smooth, and refine skin texture.

This modern Korean-formulated cream pairs proven actives and soothing botanicals to target early signs of aging while delivering lasting moisture. The formula balances retinol’s resurfacing benefits with bakuchiol’s gentler plant-derived retinol alternative, and includes multiple forms of hyaluronic acid plus shea butter to replenish skin barrier hydration. It’s designed for nightly use on face and neck and made in Korea under cruelty-free standards.

How will this moisturizer affect my skin’s texture and fine lines?

The combination of retinol and bakuchiol supports cellular renewal and can help smooth the look of fine lines and uneven texture over time. Niacinamide complements these ingredients by brightening and reducing the appearance of pores, creating a more even-looking surface.

• Retinol and bakuchiol for complementary resurfacing action
• Niacinamide to even skin tone and refine pores
• Multiple hyaluronic acid forms to plump and soften crepey areas

Is this cream suitable for sensitive or easily irritated skin?

The formula includes soothing botanicals such as bisabolol and green tea extract to help calm irritation that can occur with active ingredients. Because it pairs retinol with bakuchiol and hydrating emollients, it aims to reduce common dryness and irritation, but patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Bisabolol and green tea extract to soothe and protect
• Shea butter and sodium hyaluronate for barrier support
• Gentle approach by combining retinol with plant-derived bakuchiol

How should I incorporate this product into my skincare routine?

Use this moisturizer in the evening after cleansing and applying serums; a pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for face and neck. Introduce it gradually—every other night—to allow your skin to adapt, then increase frequency as tolerated. Always follow with sunscreen during the day when using retinol products.

• Apply at night to cleansed skin, face and neck
• Start slowly (every other night), increase as tolerated
• Pair with daytime SPF to protect renewed skin

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

The cream blends multiple targeted ingredients to hydrate, protect, and renew skin tone and texture without relying on a single mechanism. Hyaluronic acid variants provide layered hydration, niacinamide improves clarity and barrier function, and botanical extracts help calm while supporting long-term skin health.

• Retinol + bakuchiol for renewal and gentler retinol-like effects
• Niacinamide for brightening and pore appearance improvement
• Sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid for multi-depth hydration

Who is this for: First Botany Korean Retinol Moisturizer is aimed at adults seeking a hydrating anti-aging cream that blends scientifically recognized actives with botanical soothing agents. It suits users who want visible texture refinement and moisture support without an overly heavy product—especially those open to a gentle approach to retinol by using bakuchiol in the mix. If you have very sensitive or allergy-prone skin, perform a patch test first and introduce the product gradually.
