HERBIVORE AM to PM Set | Nova Serum + Moon Fruit Serum

Moon Fruit serum: 5/5 ratingI really like the Moon Fruit serum. It's a source of 1% bakuchiol (an effective dosage) which is a great alternative for those who can't use a retinoid or even as a supplement to those who do (they play well together!). This serum absorbs quickly on my skin, and although there is a mild, odd scent (reminds me of floral cardboard), it dissipates so it doesn't bother me.Nova serum: 4.5/5 ratingVitamin C is one of the skin care go-to ingredients after retinoids. It brightens and protects. This has tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, which has less clinical evidence but suggestive evidence that it works well, and it is a more stable form of vitamin C. Technically, this has no added fragrance ingredients, but it has quite the scent from the turmeric which is also in this for the positive benefits for skin (brightening, protecting). I fortunately like turmeric, but if you don't like the scent, this serum won't be for you as it is quite prominent at first (it very, very gradually dissipates).Both of these can be used in the AM and/or PM, but traditionally, many use a vitamin C product AM and bakuchiol in the PM. Bakuchiol, unlike most retinoids, is photo-stable, so it's OK to use PM.Always spot test first since even botanicals can cause irritation, and sometimes people experience irritation with vitamin C products, especially at first. My skin did OK with both of these products.Moonfruit ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Triheptanoin, Propanediol, C9-12 Alkane, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Glycerin, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Bakuchiol ,Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Eragrostis Tef Seed Extract, Anigozanthos Flavidus Flower/Leaf Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Morus Alba Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside Sclerotium Gum, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Citric Acid, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Phytate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lauryl Glucoside, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Diisopropyl Adipate, Triethyl Citrate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Rosa Damascena Extract, Alcohol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Extract Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Leaf/Twig Extract, Cinnamomum Camphora Linalooliferum Wood ExtractNova ingredients: Aqua/water/eau, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Glycerin, C9-12 Alkane, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Propanediol, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Terminalia Chebula Fruit Extract, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate, Sclerotium Gum, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Butylene Glycol, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Sodium Phytate, Averrhoa Carambola Fruit Extract, Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Juice, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Citric Acid
