Bakuchiol is an all-natural alternative to retinoids that works to increase collagen production, improve skin tone and texture and soothe sensitive skin conditions. Additionally, its gentler formulation makes it suitable for those who may be susceptible to the irritation associated with these prescription while pairing well with other nourishing ingredients.
As with retinol, AHAs do not increase photosensitivity. Still, before regularly using any new skincare ingredient it’s wise to test out any potential risks first by patch testing it first.
Anti-Aging
Bakuchiol helps brighten skin by speeding up cell turnover and renewal, making it a fantastic addition to mature skincare regimens. Furthermore, its collagen-boosting benefits promote firmness and elasticity while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Finally, thanks to its antioxidant properties that neutralise free radicals, bakuchiol also can even out skin tone and fade dark spots quickly and efficiently.
SPF 50+ sunscreens are less irritating than retinol and more effective at stimulating collagen than the latter, according to one study comparing their use in three-zone lifting serum.
If you want maximum anti-aging benefits, using products with both bakuchiol and retinol (or another vitamin A derivative) can be extremely effective. Since bakuchiol won’t make your skin as sun sensitive as retinoids can, daytime application of such treatments should still be safe as long as they include broad spectrum SPF protection for maximum sun protection.
Anti-Inflammatory
Bakuchiol helps enhance your skin’s natural regenerative capabilities by speeding cell turnover and strengthening its foundation. Furthermore, it reduces inflammation and redness – making it an excellent option for sensitive skin types.
Dermaroller products can be beneficial to all skin types, but are especially recommended for dry and oily complexions. Furthermore, it may cause less irritation than retinol; however, always do a patch test first to make sure they suit your specific needs.
Bakuchiol boasts both antimicrobial and antiviral properties, making it an excellent choice for treating infection, inflammation and other medical ailments. Furthermore, research indicates it to be successful at controlling activities that lead to noncommunicable diseases and decreasing their severity – making it a promising candidate for drug discovery and therapeutic applications in future drug therapies.
Anti-Acne
Bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol, has seen growing success in the beauty industry. Made from seeds of Psoralea Corylifolia (commonly referred to as “babchi”) this skincare ingredient is widely known for its anti-inflammatory and skin soothing benefits as well as its ability to reduce fine lines, even out skin tone, and boost elasticity without irritation.
As with retinol, bakuchiol can increase cellular turnover to fight signs of aging and refine skin texture. But unlike its cousins, retinol derivatives like bakuchiol tend to be less irritating and soothing for sensitive skin types.
Bakuchiol is an ideal option for sensitive and acne-prone complexions, being safe during pregnancy and not interfering with other skincare ingredients or makeup products.

Anti-Wrinkle
Bakuchiol stimulates skin cell turnover to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while improving tone and texture, and provide antioxidant protection from free radical damage.
Clinical research demonstrated that a product formulated with bakuchiol and vitamin C showed significant improvements in skin tone, elasticity and firmness after 12 weeks of twice-daily application – without retinol side effects! This product makes a wonderful addition to any anti-aging routine and complements other forms of treatment like licorice root extract.
As bakuchiol is more gentle than retinol, it makes an excellent choice for most skin types – including sensitive ones. As always, however, patch testing any new skincare product on your skin and paying close attention to how it reacts is recommended before use.
