Bakuchiol: The Retinol Alternative for Sensitive Skin
While retinol has been praised for its anti-aging properties
and its ability to fade dark spots, treat acne, and brighten skin, it’s also
been known to cause irritation, redness, and dryness. So, when bakuchiol, (a
gentle, plant-based alternative extracted from Psoralea corylifolia or babchi
plant) claimed to offer all the same benefits without irritation, beauty brands
were quick to jump on the ingredient and created night creams, masks, serums
and oils containing bakuchiol. Learn what all the buzz is about with these top
picks listed below:
Formulated with AHAs and bakuchiol, this all-in-one night cream deeply
hydrates skin, targets fine lines, improves elasticity, and visibly firms skin
all while you are sleeping.
The mask boasts its star ingredient, bakuchiol, to detoxify, decongest, and
de-stress skin, fight free-radical damage, reduce redness, and brighten the
complexion.
For anyone who has had a bad reaction to retinol but wants to reap the
benefits, this is for you. The innovative anti-aging serum gently combats
wrinkles and age spots with white beggar’s tick flower extract, bakuchiol seed
extract, and rosehip seed oil.
Great for sensitive skin, this lightweight yet powerful serum packs all the
benefits of retinol without the harsh side effects. An independent clinical
study showed that 33 out of 33 women saw visibly improved skin!
Great for dehydrated and mature skin, this
lightweight moisturizer combines antioxidants, aloe vera, and bakuchiol to
smooth, plump, and revive the appearance of skin over time.
Bakuchiol seems to be a great alternative to retinol without
the side effects that many people experience (like me). If you are using any of
