Have you heard of Bakuchiol? The natural alternative to Retinol you need to try.
Did you know why Bakuchiol is one of the most exciting things to happen in the world of skincare? The truth is, while Retinol has been at the top of our list of favorite ingredients for several years, we know it can cause irritation, redness, and increased photosensitivity (if used during the day) in sensitive skin. That's why, for a long time, we've been longing for an ingredient that would allow us to get all the benefits of Retinol without risking irritation.
What is Bakuchiol?
If you're not familiar with Bakuchiol, it's like Retinol's gentler, yet equally capable and younger-looking cousin. It's the first natural alternative proven to have the same repairing, anti-acne, and anti-aging benefits. Bakuchiol is a natural antioxidant derived from the seeds of a plant native to India called Babchi. While Bakuchiol doesn't work the same way as Retinol in its entirety, this alternative is safe for all skin types, including acne-prone skin, due to its clinically proven anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
What are its benefits?
Some of the benefits that both Retinol and Bakuchiol offer are: minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, accelerating cell turnover (allowing for faster healing), combating dry and rough skin by increasing collagen production, shrinking pores, and reducing the appearance of dark circles. Bakuchiol has also shown significant improvement in reducing hyperpigmentation , in addition to providing elasticity, firmness, radiance, and brightness to the skin with daily use.
