Frequently asked questions
Can I use Bakuchiol and Urea together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Bakuchiol and Urea, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (texture), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Bakuchiol or Urea?
Apply Bakuchiol first, then Urea. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Bakuchiol in the morning or at night?
Bakuchiol: works morning or night. Use twice daily. It is stable in sunlight, so a morning application is fine.
Should I use Urea in the morning or at night?
Urea: works morning or night. Use 5–10% on the face or body daily. Higher strengths can sting on broken or freshly exfoliated skin.
Is Bakuchiol with Urea safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Bakuchiol. Check with your doctor.
