There is a new alternative to retinol that is taking the skincare world by storm and it is called bakuchiol.
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived skincare ingredient, extracted from the Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) plant and turning out to be one of the best products in 2021.
Bakuchiol is a powerful antioxidant that can reduce skin discolourations caused by environmental exposure whilst having a soothing effect on the skin. Bakuchiol also has the effect of reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It has a similar action to retinol and is a great natural alternative. Many users have reported an improvement in skin tone following the use of bakuchiol in their skincare routine.
Is bakuchiol better than retinol? Both boost collagen and elastin. Bakuchiol has no harsh side effects and retinol can so I think bakuchiol is a much more gentle alternative.
What does bakuchiol smell like? It smells very earthy - not too bad, there is definitely an odour there but a very natural herbal scent.
All in all this wonderful ingredient is a potent antioxidant and it is vegan and cruelty free. You can feel good and wrinkle free!!
