Three Ships SkinHero Bakuchiol Serum 2% — Calendula & Rosehip, 30 mL Night Serum for Sensitive Skin, Firms & Hydrates

SkinHero Calendula + 2% Bakuchiol Bio-Retinol Serum is a nightly, plant-powered anti-ageing and calming serum that firms, soothes, and hydrates sensitive or mature skin without retinol.

Formulated by Three Ships, this lightweight 30 mL serum combines 2% bakuchiol — a plant-based alternative to retinol — with calming calendula and nourishing rosehip seed oil to support skin elasticity, reduce the look of breakouts, and strengthen the skin barrier. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, paraben- and sulfate-free, and designed for sensitive skin types that want retinol-like benefits with gentler tolerability.

How does this serum work to smooth the look of wrinkles and improve texture?

Bakuchiol is included at a 2% concentration to encourage collagen-supporting processes and help refine uneven texture without the typical irritation of traditional retinoids. Rosehip seed oil supplies vitamins A, C and E to support barrier health and skin tone, while calendula soothes and protects from environmental stressors.

• 2% bakuchiol for collagen-supportive action and texture improvement
• rosehip seed oil provides fatty acids and antioxidant vitamins
• calendula extract calms and helps defend skin from daily stress
• lightweight serum base absorbs quickly under moisturizers

Will SkinHero irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

SkinHero is formulated specifically with mature and sensitive skin in mind; it avoids harsh preservatives, sulfates, and parabens and uses bakuchiol instead of retinol to reduce common irritation. Still, introduce any active gradually—start every other night—and monitor your skin's response.

• no parabens, sulfates, or common irritating preservatives
• bakuchiol for retinol-like results with gentler tolerability
• recommended start: 1–2 pumps every other night, increase as tolerated

How should I add this serum into my routine for best results?

Use SkinHero at night after cleansing and before your moisturizer. Apply 1–2 pumps to clean, dry skin; follow with a hydrating cream or oil to lock in benefits and restore the barrier.

• cleanse, apply 1–2 pumps to face and neck, then moisturize
• use nightly; if sensitivity occurs, every other night until adjusted
• pair with sunscreen during daytime to protect improved skin surface

What visible improvements can I expect and when might they appear?

Results vary by individual, but many users notice improved skin tone, reduced appearance of breakouts, and smoother texture within weeks of consistent nightly use. Larger changes in firmness and deeper lines typically take longer and benefit from continued use and complementary skincare steps.

• early: calmer, more hydrated-looking skin and fewer visible breakouts
• weeks: smoother texture and more even tone
• long-term: improved elasticity with ongoing nightly use

Who is this for: SkinHero is aimed at people with mature, combination, or sensitive skin who want retinol-like benefits without the usual irritation. It fits those seeking a cruelty-free, vegan serum that targets fine lines, breakouts, and barrier support, and who prefer plant-derived actives and clean-formula promises.
