I've just bought this for anti-aging. Should it replace my current Nivea Day and Nigh creams? Or apply it over?

If it's a serum I'd put it on before your creams.

Under if it’s thinner in consistency and let it absorb first. Then plain moisturiser on top.

I don’t know but the one I have (revolution or the ordinary I think, black pump bottle, lilac product) kind of ‘pills’ when mixed with anything else. I’ve never really known what it was for so tried it all sorts of ways. Alone without other potions and lotions seems the only way to stop it forming little gluey bits all over. Never ever under make up!

Ah okay. It's The Inkey List moisturiser. It says use on on cleansed skin and after preferred serums.

I also have Nivea HYaluron cellar filler day cream and then the night cream.

In the morning I also have Dr Hauschka eye balm.

I have no idea which order to do them or even if I need the anti wrinkle creams if the bakuchiol is also a cream.

Hmm

I found this. So it seems I have just two creams and an eye cream. So now I'm more confused and perhaps should have bought the Bakuchoil in a serum. Can't not tho as I've spent a lot of money on it as a cream Shock

The inkey list bakuchiol is a thin cream-like consistency, so I would apply it after any thinner serums. Eye cream goes on after both.

You may not need extra moisturiser on top of the bakuchiol for daytime, but as it’s not overly moisturising you could put your night cream over it at night.

I don’t really think it matters too much what form the bakuchiol is in, but it’ll have most effect if you apply it properly ie always under thicker creams or it won’t absorb x
