Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
Acure's unique Dual-Phase Bakuchiol Ampoule is just brilliant - and it's not just us who think so! It was voted as one of Byrdie's top 12 bakuchiol serums and raved about by InStyle for delivering results in as a little as two weeks. The top layer is anti-oxidant rich essence to minimize pores, smoothe fine lines and even treat mild acne. The bottom layer is a moisturizing serum to counter any irritation and leave your skin silky smooth. The key ingredients in this double formula are eggplant, turmeric, holy basil and of course bakuchiol - a plant based retinol alternative.

Acure doesn't disclose what percentage of bakuchiol is in Acure's Bakuchiol Serum, but it is near the top of the ingredients list. We estimate that it would be in the range of 0.5 - 2% concentration, which is the amount required to make a noticeable difference to the skin (according to research).
The beauty of bakuchiol is that it is a fairly compatible ingredient with most other actives, unlike its alternative retinol. If you have sensitive skin, avoid using other active ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol and acids with bakuchiol, just so your skin won't get overwhelmed. But for everyone else, we'd just avoid using bakuchiol with acid exfoliants, only because we think an acid exfoliation should be a standalone treatment followed by moisture replenishing skincare.
It is perfectly OK to use the Acure Bakuchiol Serum everyday - it is a fairly low irritant, and shouldn't inflame sensitive skin. Of course, patch test first!
There are a lot of things to like about the Acure Bakuchiol Serum, but what we personally like best is that it's quite moisturising, without being too heavy! You can layer it in your routine, and it feels lovely on the skin.
