YOUN Beauty Bakuchiol + Peptide Moisturizer 50ml — Lightweight Hydrating, Paraben-Free Anti-Aging Cream

YOUN Beauty Peptide + Bakuchiol Moisturizer is a 50ml paraben-free face cream that combines plant-derived bakuchiol, a peptide complex, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, soothe, and support firmer-looking skin without typical retinol irritation.

This lightweight yet nourishing moisturizer was created by Dr. Anthony Youn to deliver anti-aging support using plant-forward actives and skin-friendly botanicals. It blends bakuchiol — a natural retinol alternative — with three targeted peptides, plant-based hyaluronic acid, and calming ingredients like aloe and shea butter. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol, designed for daily use on all skin types including mature and sensitized skin.

How does bakuchiol work as a retinol alternative?

Bakuchiol is a botanical extract from Psoralea corylifolia seeds that offers similar cellular support to vitamin A without the common dryness and irritation associated with retinoids. It helps maintain skin texture and tone while being gentler for sensitive or reactive skin.

• Plant-derived bakuchiol targets signs of aging with less irritation.
• Suitable for those who can’t tolerate traditional retinol products.
• Can be used day or night when paired with sunscreen during daytime.

What do the peptides do for my skin?

The moisturizer contains a trio of peptides — Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 — chosen to support the skin’s natural structure and resilience. Peptides act as signaling molecules that help the skin maintain a firmer, more elastic appearance over time.

• Peptides help support collagen production and skin architecture.
• Antioxidant properties help defend against environmental stressors.
• Works with hyaluronic acid to promote a smoother surface and reduced fine lines.

How does this moisturizer hydrate without feeling heavy?

YOUN’s formula uses plant-based hyaluronic acid for targeted moisture retention and lightweight plant oils and butters for nourishment. The texture absorbs readily, leaving skin plump and comfortable rather than greasy, making it suitable for both morning routines and nighttime layering.

• Plant-derived hyaluronic acid attracts and holds hydration in the skin.
• Sunflower oil and shea butter provide essential fatty acids for barrier support.
• Aloe vera and panthenol (Vitamin B5) soothe and reduce surface irritation.

Will this fit into my existing skincare routine?

The moisturizer is formulated to integrate smoothly into most regimens: apply after cleansing and serums. It pairs well with antioxidant serums and sunscreens; avoid combining with prescription retinoids unless advised by a clinician.

• Use after serum or treatment steps, morning and/or night.
• Apply sunscreen in the daytime for full protection when targeting signs of aging.
• Compatible with most actives; consult a dermatologist for strong prescription pairings.

Who is this for: YOUN Beauty Peptide + Bakuchiol Moisturizer is aimed at anyone seeking a gentler alternative to retinol with proven-building-block ingredients: those with mature, dehydrated, or sensitized skin who want hydration, improved texture, and support for elasticity without harsh irritants. It’s also a good choice for cruelty-free and vegan-conscious shoppers who prefer plant-derived actives in a clean, dermatologist-inspired formulation.
