Avril Pro Age+ Organic Lightweight Day Cream with Bakuchiol, 50 ml

When should you use this bakuchiol day cream?

Avril Pro Age+ Light Day Cream is a certified organic day cream for normal to combination skin showing early signs of aging. It combines bakuchiol—an active ingredient extracted from babchi seeds (Psoralea corylifolia)—with glycerin, sunflower oil, aloe vera, and organically grown peach, apple, and raspberry leaf extracts, along with vitamin E. It complements anti-wrinkle face creams for those seeking a lightweight texture.

Its primary function is simple: it moisturizes and protects the skin from drying out throughout the day. Glycerin locks in moisture in the outer layers of the skin, while the sunflower oil and emollients in the formula help prevent moisture loss. Tested for 28 days under dermatological supervision on 22 volunteers, the cream left 95% of them with hydrated, comfortable skin; 77% found their skin more elastic.

Bakuchiol is the active ingredient that makes this cream a key part of the Pro Age+ line, designed for mature skin. It supports skin that is losing its suppleness and showing the first signs of wrinkles, in a formula that can be applied every morning without worrying about product compatibility.

Its texture is designed for normal to combination skin: 86% of test participants found it left a light, non-greasy finish. For 91% of them, it serves as a makeup primer. It’s perfect for busy mornings—whether worn under foundation or on its own—and is ideal for skin that tends to get shiny quickly when using a rich cream. The refillable jar can be reused from one treatment cycle to the next.

The eye area is where the first signs of aging appear, but it’s also where face cream isn’t typically applied. We recommend using a dedicated eye treatment, such as Weleda Youth Power Eye Contour, applying a small amount before your day cream. This way, each product targets the specific area for which it was formulated, without overlapping with the others.

Our expert advice on Avril Pro Age+ Bakuchiol Cream

A lightweight day cream is first and foremost a daily moisturizer: its value lies in consistent use, morning after morning, rather than in any dramatic results. If your skin gets drier in the winter, a richer texture can take over during the colder months, even if you switch back to this one in the spring.

The key consideration before your first purchase is whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, as there isn’t enough data available. For combination skin, apply a thin layer of the cream to the center of the face and a slightly thicker layer to the cheeks, which tend to dry out faster: this is the best way to avoid a shiny appearance by midday.

FAQ

What is the difference between the bakuchiol in Avril Pro Age+ cream and retinol?

Bakuchiol is not part of the retinoid family: it is a plant-based compound often presented as an alternative to retinol. A 12-week trial involving 44 participants compared a 0.5% bakuchiol serum with a 0.5% retinol serum: the results for wrinkles were comparable, with less flaking and tingling in the bakuchiol group. The bakuchiol concentration in this cream is not specified.

Can I apply the Avril Pro Age+ cream with bakuchiol in the morning, before sun exposure?

Unlike retinol, purified bakuchiol is not known to be photosensitizing, so it can be used as part of a morning skincare routine. In fact, the cream is designed as a daytime treatment.
