DIME TBT Anti-Aging Face Serum with Bakuchiol, Niacinamide & Mandelic Acid — 1 oz, Retinol Alternative for Sensitive Skin

DIME TBT Serum is a nightly and daytime anti-aging face serum that uses bakuchiol, niacinamide and mandelic acid to refine texture, diminish fine lines and even skin tone without the irritation of traditional retinoids.

This lightweight, leave-on serum blends plant-derived bakuchiol with exfoliating mandelic acid and pore-refining niacinamide to target multiple signs of aging while supporting skin hydration. Formulated for clean-beauty standards, the 1 oz (30 ml) bottle is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones and artificial fragrances. Use it as part of a morning and/or evening routine to encourage smoother, brighter-looking skin over time.

How does this serum reduce fine lines without retinol irritation?

DIME replaces traditional retinol with bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative known to offer similar wrinkle-smoothing benefits while being gentler on sensitive skin. Combined with niacinamide and antioxidants, the formula aims to support firmness and surface renewal without the dryness commonly linked to retinoids.

• Bakuchiol: retinol-like effects with lower irritation risk
• Niacinamide: supports barrier function and refines pores
• Mandelic acid: gentle AHA to improve texture and glow
• Antioxidant oils: protect and nourish for smoother appearance

What results should I expect and when might I see them?

Visible changes vary by skin type and consistency, but many users notice improved texture and a more even tone within weeks, with continued reduction in fine lines over months. Regular twice-daily or nightly use increases the chance of sustained improvements while maintaining hydration and comfort.

• First 1–4 weeks: softer texture and slight brightening
• 4–12 weeks: improved clarity, reduced pore appearance
• 3+ months: visible smoothing of fine lines and more even tone
• Use alongside sunscreen for daytime protection

How do I add DIME TBT Serum to my skincare routine?

Apply 3–5 drops to clean, toned skin on face and neck, morning and/or night, then allow full absorption before layering moisturizer or sunscreen. Because it contains mandelic acid, introduce the serum gradually if you’re new to exfoliating acids, and patch-test if you have very reactive skin.

• Step 1: cleanse and tone; step 2: 3–5 drops of serum
• Pat gently into face and neck until absorbed
• Follow with a DIME moisturizer; use sunscreen in daytime
• Adjust frequency if irritation appears; discontinue if needed

Which skin types and concerns is this best for?

DIME TBT Serum suits anyone seeking anti-aging benefits without potent retinoids: those with normal, combination, dry or sensitivity-prone skin can use it, particularly if they want smoother texture, brighter tone, and reduced fine lines. Because it blends exfoliating and moisturizing ingredients, it can help congested or uneven skin when introduced gradually.

• Good for fine lines, uneven texture and dullness
• Approachable for sensitive skin compared with retinol
• Not ideal for skin with active severe irritation or open wounds
• Works well with hydrating serums and sunscreens

Who is this for: DIME TBT Serum is designed for people who want a clean, science-forward alternative to retinol—those looking to smooth fine lines, refine texture and brighten skin without harsh irritation. It’s a suitable step for daily regimens when used responsibly with sun protection and complements other DIME moisturizers and antioxidants for a complete anti-aging approach.
