No skincare product does it all, but this multi-talented serum comes pretty close. Formulated with Bakuchiol to help reduce the look of fine lines and blemishes, and fade post-breakout marks. The added Calendula comforts and soothes skin while boosting skin elasticity so you can receive the same skin-improving results as traditional retinol, without the irritation.
With regular use, skin appears smoother, clearer, and more even-toned —no redness or irritation required.
BENEFITS:
- Bakuchiol - A natural alternative to retinoids that does not result in undesirable + irritating side effects. Much like retinoids, however, bakuchiol triggers the expression of genes involved in the production of the extracellular matrix of the skin and boosts the production of collagen which helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Calendula - A naturally occuring antioxidant that protects the skin from stresses by neutralizing free radicals. Calendula extract has high concentrations of fatty acids which are abundant in the skin (e.g. linoleic acid). By supplementing the body with these fatty acids, calendula extract keeps the skin hydrated and helps stimulate collagen production.
- Rosehip Seed Oil - The main bioactive constituents of rosehip extract are vitamin A, C, + E. This extract packs a powerful punch, it has been known to lighten dark spots, and support the skin’s lipid barrier.

FAQs:
- Can Skin Hero be combined with a Vitamin C cream or serum? Yes, Skin Hero can be used with Vitamin C, including our Dew Drops Serum. Layering active ingredients can potentially increase skin sensitivity, so it’s always best to introduce slowly into your routine, and/or alternate usage (I.e., Use Dew Drops in the morning, and Skin Hero at night).
- Can those who suffer with skin conditions like rosacea, eczema and other skin sensitivities use Skin Hero? Skin Hero is safe for sensitive skin. “Retinol type” products can and have been used to treat those with rosacea, since retinol assists the skin in generating more collagen. However, we would highly recommend that you first do a patch test before use, and incorporate into your skin routine slowly (1-2x/week for the first week and increase as desired). “Retinol type” products should generally be avoided for those with eczema as they can trigger flare ups and/or reactions.
- Can Dream and Skin Hero be used together? Yes! However, layering active ingredients can potentially increase skin sensitivity, so it’s always best to introduce the new active ingredient slowly into your routine, and/or alternate usage.
- How does bio-retinol differ from traditional retinol? The bio-retinol in Skin Hero comes from Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. Bakuchiol delivers the same skin-improving results of retinol - without the irritation. Many studies have shown that Bakuchiol actually outperforms retinol in increasing collagen production and reducing skin inflammation.
- What makes Skin Hero different from other bakuchiol serums? Most Bakuchiol serums on the market are formulated at 1%. Skin Hero contains 2% Bakuchiol because Three Ships has paired it with the calming and soothing ingredient, Calendula. Together this creates a perfect pairing so you can get maximum results, without the irritation.
