Bakel: essential skincare, product by product

Bakel is a skincare line built on a simple idea: the formulas contain only active ingredients, and their number is stated. To start, you only need three steps: a cleanser suited to your skin, a serum for your main concern, and a cream. The rest can be added later.

Those who discover it in boutiques are usually struck by one thing: the product sheet for each product states how many active ingredients it contains and what each one does.

The Bakel philosophy

Each product states the number of active ingredients it contains: Jalu-Tech has 2, Cool Eyes 15, and the F-Designer creams more than 35. The idea is that each ingredient has a specific role. Many products also come in a refill format, allowing you to refill the bottle.

Cleansing

• High Purity Gel: a purifying gel with eucalyptus essential oil, for combination or oily skin.
• High Tolerance Gel: ultra-gentle, for sensitive skin.
• Pure Act Oil and Super Act Water: for removing makeup.

Serums

They are the heart of the line. Jalu-Tech contains low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid for hydration. Thio-C is a revitalizing serum for a brighter complexion. Col-Tech is designed for skin that is losing firmness. Relief-Therapist is for sensitive skin.

Creams

The One is a complete cream and a good place to start. The F-Designer creams are available for normal skin and dry skin; Nutri-Remedy is richer, for winter. Pro-Calm is designed for reactive skin.

Eye Care

Cool Eyes for puffiness and dark circles, Nutri-Eyes for dry skin around the eyes, The One Eye as a daily cream. We discuss this in eye care: when to start.
