Biophora Dragon's Blood Retinoid Growth Factor Serum
Biophora’s bakuchiol and growth factor serum for firmer, smoother-looking skin, without retinol. Morning and evening.
The serum we suggest when clients want firmness and renewal but do not get along with retinol. Soothing dragon’s blood resin, bakuchiol and a bio-placenta complex of synthesized growth factors work as a team, while four types of hyaluronic acid hydrate at different depths. Skin looks firmer, smoother and more even, without the redness or peeling retinol can cause.
Our recommendation: If you would like help fitting this product into your routine, we recommend a complimentary virtual consultation with one of our estheticians.

Key ingredients
- Dragon’s blood (Croton lechleri sap extract): a soothing, hydrating, antioxidant botanical resin
- Bakuchiol: a plant-based alternative to retinol for the look of fine lines and uneven tone
- Bio-Placenta complex: five synthesized growth factors with vitamin B9 and acetyl glutamine, for the look of renewed, more elastic skin
- 3D hyaluronic acid complex: four forms of hyaluronic acid that hydrate at every depth
How to use
- Apply to a freshly cleansed and toned face and neck.
- Gently massage a small amount into the skin until absorbed.
- Follow with your moisturizer.
- Bakuchiol does not increase sun sensitivity the way retinoids do, so it can be used morning and evening. Daily SPF is still essential.
