Why This Ingredient Matters
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active known for delivering many of the visible benefits associated with retinol. Research has shown improvements in wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity and firmness, making it especially valuable for supporting smoother, more even and youthful-looking skin.
Why Formulation Matters
Bakuchiol is particularly interesting when formulated with retinol rather than simply used instead of it. Research suggests the two can provide complementary benefits, while Bakuchiol's antioxidant properties may also help protect retinol from oxidative degradation within a formula.
