Bakuchiol is a natural, plant-derived alternative to a retinoid or retinol. A vitamin A-based chemical that helps improve the turnover of skin cells and stimulates collagen synthesis for smoother and more radiant skin. It has similar properties to the popular synthetic retinol used in most skin creams but is gentler, so you get smoother, brighter skin without the redness, or irritation.
It’s effective against wrinkles and hyperpigmentation decreasing the number of inflammatory lesions and lessening discoloration left over from healed acne spots, leading researchers to conclude that bakuchiol may be effective for mild to moderate acne.
Bakuchiol can help renew collagen and improve skin tone and texture and is a safer alternative to retinol for people experiencing acne, hyperpigmentation, and sensitive skin.
