Description
Bakuchiol – Natural, More Tolerable Alternative to Retinol
Bakuchiol is a compound isolated and purified from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, used as a plant-derived alternative to retinol, offering benefits for all skin types.
Although structurally dissimilar to the retinoid class, studies show that bakuchiol targets similar cellular pathways in fibroblasts, stimulating collagen synthesis and accelerating epidermal renewal. It offers a superior skin tolerance profile, free from the side effects typical of synthetic retinoids, such as irritation, pronounced dryness, or skin sensitization.
Ingredients (INCI): Bakuchiol.

- Recommended usage dosage: 0.5% - 1.0%

- Restructuring, Anti-Aging: Supports the stimulation of dermal structural protein synthesis, helping diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Antioxidant: Helps protect skin from damage caused by UV radiation, helping reduce multiple signs of photo-aging.
- Firmness: Improves skin elasticity and tone, reducing the lax appearance of devitalized skin.
- Tone Corrector: Contributes to fading hyperpigmentation spots, reduces skin roughness and redness.
- Sebum Control and Texture: Diminishes the tendency of sebum to oxidize in pores, refining the texture of combination or oily skin prone to imperfections.

An essential ingredient for a gentle and effective skincare routine. Bakuchiol is the perfect natural alternative to retinol, providing anti-aging benefits without irritation.
It's ok, it burned my skin a bit but I think it's normal or probably an allergy but it's ok .
Good ingredient but I don't find it does the job of retinol though. DIFFICULT TO DOSE, IT HAS BEEN SPECIFIED IN THE COMMENTS, FOR THIS I GIVE 3 STARS.
I've been using arbutin and vitamin c cream for a few years now, but since using bakuchiol in the evening the effects are much more visible.
GOOD PRODUCT RENOWNED INGREDIENT, DOES NOT IRRITATE THE SKIN, CHANGES ARE OVER TIME AND GIVES A REJUVENATED COMPLEXION, BRIGHTER. I REALLY LIKE THE RESULTS.
improves elasticity and firmness stimulates collagen production reduces skin pigmentation, discoloration, roughness and redness helps protect skin from UV damage improves skin tone, radiance and luminosity soothes and calms skin
I have used it in a maximum dosage in a simple serum and you can really see the benefits of this natural ingredient. I will keep adding it to my wishlist.
I add it over serums with different forms of retinol commercially and it is wonderful. I also bought my mom, who has psoriasis, a retinol serum and added bakuchiol over it to make 1% total retinol and she was super thrilled. She's been struggling with psoriasis for a few years and this combination has brought her complexion back to life and is keeping the problem under control. A serum with retinol and bakuchiol is a must in her routine.
It's an active that can receive maximum marks from me. Easy to work with it, in 1% dosage it has a brightening effect on the complexion. The only drawback is that I have never (neither with the 2g nor the 20g bottles) had the full amount. I know it's vascous, that it can stick to the walls of the container, but even gently warmed and left to drain for a long time I couldn't get the 2g out of the bottle :)))))
I recommend using Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, in creams for mature skin. Bakuchiol is involved in reducing the signs of aging, reduces skin damage from exposure to environmental factors and has a soothing effect on the skin.
I recommend with confidence. I have used bakuchiol in a face serum ,as an alternative to retinol.I have had various commercial retinol serums and I can see the difference.
It is a substance with penetrability into the epidermis, with an anti-aging role, in emulsions it leaves a scent of almond kernel, penetrating
I purchased the product on my last order. I put it in my night oily serum and the results started to show very quickly. Brighter,smoother and the rosacea completely disappeared. Vit A I couldn't use it,irritated the complexion. This product, even if more expensive, is worth all the money!!!
Very good product but do something with the packaging please ! there are so many other variations ! After all, it's a small grammage.
SUPER GOOD PRODUCT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR A REJUVENATING EFFECT. I USE IT EVERY DAY AND ALREADY THE SKIN APPEARANCE IS IMPROVED.
It really does the job! I have used it in a complexion serum,the recipe from elemental and you can really see an improvement. It is much brighter. Thank you!
An excellent alternative to Retinol. I use it in an anti-wrinkle cream formula, I tested it on my own skin, would the effects are visible, of course, after a period of use.
Very cool that such a product has appeared, a natural alternative to retinol I noticed it improves skin tone
Last time I ordered it on 10.05.2023, I was glad that I got it and with a small discount and I was looking forward to receiving it. But I was disappointed to find that it is totally different from the one previously ordered.Ugly greenish to blackish color, different smell.When I added it to the cream it changed the aisle of the product to something that looked ready altered.
