Bakuchiol serum as a plant-based retinol alternative

Bakuchiol Serum is a 100% herbal alternative to retinol and is ideal for sensitive skin. Bakuchiol is a vegan skincare ingredient that reduces signs of aging and evens out skin discoloration. Bakuchiol comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is a powerful antioxidant extracted from the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. Bakuchiol serum is considered a herbal alternative to retinol because it has similar effects. However, it doesn't work exactly like the vitamin A ingredient. If necessary, both active ingredients can be used together. In addition, bakuchiol has a stabilizing effect on vitamin A. It also helps the skin to tolerate more concentrated retinol.

Bakuchiol serum for sensitive skin

Bakuchiol serum is particularly beneficial for people with sensitive skin, as the active ingredient has a calming effect and reduces skin irritation. Therefore, bakuchiol is usually also used in Acne care products used because it soothes sensitive and irritated skin. Nonetheless, the Bakuchiol serum works well for all skin types, but especially for people looking for an alternative to retinol. Because bakuchiol serum does not cause reddening of the skin.

Bakuchiol Serum helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face and increase skin firmness. It is a powerful antioxidant that fights many signs of aging. In addition, it protects the skin from pollution and environmental skin damage. There are also scientific studies that have shown that bakuchiol, like retinol, stimulates collagen formation.

Bakuchiol serum as anti-aging face care

The active ingredient has many advantages in the field of anti-aging and is used to tighten the skin on the face to smooth wrinkles and small lines. In addition to a regenerative, firming effect, the Bakuchiol serum also refines the general complexion and evens out the skin tone. When using the serum, it should be noted that you always apply the product to the previously cleaned face. If you use several products, you should first go from the liquidest to the richest. The light bakuchiol serum can therefore be applied before using a moisturizer.
