“Bakuchiol – an extract obtained from the leaves and seeds of the babchi plant. It is commonly used in Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, as well as in Tamil Siddha practices to aid in healing, soothing, and calming the skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

The Effects of Bakuchiol on the Skin
Not only is it as effective as retinol in combating fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, but it is also less irritating. Additionally, unlike retinol, which can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight (always use a sunscreen with SPF during the day), bakuchiol can help reduce skin sensitivity to harmful sun rays.

Evens out skin tone: bakuchiol penetrates deeply into the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots or hyperpigmented areas.

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: like retinol, bakuchiol encourages cells to regenerate and produce collagen, “plumping up” the skin and reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Does not cause dryness or irritation: while retinol and other skincare ingredients can dry out the skin or cause irritation, bakuchiol is gentler and is known to be non-irritating.

Stimulates skin cell regeneration: bakuchiol stimulates cells to promote collagen production and healthy cell renewal.

Suitable for all skin types

Helps soothe and revitalize the skin: by promoting cell turnover and healthy cell regeneration, bakuchiol can help soothe and revitalize the skin from the inside out.

WHAT TO CHOOSE? BAKUCHIOL OR A PRODUCT WITH RETINOL?
Many often face this dilemma – retinol or bakuchiol? So which one to choose? As a reminder, bakuchiol is suitable for everyone. A product with bakuchiol is particularly suitable for extra-sensitive skin, as it does not cause irritation, redness, and dryness. It is also an excellent alternative to retinol for pregnant women and for individuals whose skin is frequently exposed to sunlight for various reasons. Bakuchiol is worth choosing even if you prefer to use natural products.

How to use bakuchiol?
Products with bakuchiol should be applied to clean facial and neck skin. It is important to remember that such products should be applied in order, from thinnest to thickest, for example, if the product is a lightweight serum with bakuchiol, apply it before moisturizer. Also, don’t forget to use sunscreen throughout the day.

Adding a bakuchiol product to your skincare routine is simple: apply it once or twice a day after cleansing and toning.”
