Nature's Retinol Alternative
Bakuchiol is a clinically-researched ingredient and considered the gold standard as a retinol-alternative. Naturally-derived from the Babchi plant, it is shown to deliver results comparable to a retinol without the irritation, redness or flaking associated with many retinol products.
How does Bakuchiol Liquid Extract compare to Retinol?
Bakuchiol Liquid Extract is considered a natural alternative to retinol because it functions similarly in a skin care regimen. However, it is not considered a retinoid or a part of the retinol family because it has a different chemical structure than that of retinol.
Therefore, Bakuchiol offers many of the same skin care benefits as retinol without causing irritation or dryness. Bakuchiol is also believed to be gentle enough for daytime and nighttime wear and is suitable for use on all skin types.
