Bakuchiol Plant Retinol Serum

Description

Experience retinol-like anti-aging benefits without the irritation with our Bakuchiol Plant Retinol Serum a gentle yet effective option for those who cannot tolerate traditional retinoids. Bakuchiol is a meroterpene extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) plant used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Recent clinical studies have validated its remarkable ability to provide benefits similar to retinol through different mechanisms. A 2019 British Journal of Dermatology study directly compared 0.5% Bakuchiol twice daily to 0.5% Retinol nightly for 12 weeks. Both groups showed significant improvement in wrinkles and pigmentation with no statistical difference between them but the Bakuchiol group experienced significantly less scaling and stinging. Unlike retinol which works by binding to retinoid receptors Bakuchiol modulates gene expression through different pathways ultimately achieving similar outcomes: increased collagen production accelerated cell turnover improved skin firmness and reduced hyperpigmentation. Our formula features 1% Bakuchiol for maximum efficacy delivered in a nourishing base of Squalane for non-comedogenic moisture Rosehip Seed Oil rich in natural vitamin A and essential fatty acids Vitamin E for antioxidant protection and barrier support and Jojoba Oil for its exceptional skin compatibility. Because Bakuchiol doesn’t increase sun sensitivity and isn’t contraindicated in pregnancy or nursing it can be used by anyone seeking anti-aging benefits: sensitive skin retinol-intolerant skin pregnant and nursing women and those seeking a natural plant-based option. How to use: Apply 4-5 drops to clean skin morning and/or evening (unlike retinol it’s not photosensitizing). Can be used alone or mixed with moisturizer. Safe to use with all other skincare actives. Results visible in 4-8 weeks with consistent use.
