Bakuchiol is an innovative skincare ingredient designed to soothe skin texture and tone, as well as combat signs of ageing without irritating retinoids. Furthermore, this powerful ingredient stimulates collagen and elasticity production for tightened skin with decreased fine lines.
To reap all of the benefits of bakuchiol, incorporate it into your daily routine both morning and night. Always perform an at-home patch test prior to beginning any new product application; start out applying twice or three nights a week until achieving maximum benefits.
Cleanse
Bakuchiol offers many skin-enhancing benefits, from increasing collagen production and improving elasticity to visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing pigmentation and evening out skin tone, to its antibacterial and soothing properties that make it great for combating acne or redness.
Cleansing your skin prior to applying makeup is essential in removing any extra oil, dirt and debris that could potentially cause breakouts or block pores. Our Expert Lift 3-Zone Lifting Cleanser can help combat signs of aging while giving your complexion an natural sheen.
Bakuchiol has rapidly gained in popularity as it provides similar results to retinoids without their associated irritation, making it an excellent addition to daily morning and evening skincare regimens. Bakuchiol also works well when combined with other anti-aging ingredients like ic acid to create potency anti-age products; just be aware of how your skin reacts when first starting it! It’s essential that when adding it into your skincare regime that you monitor how it interacts with it to ensure optimal results.
Moisturize
Bakuchiol makes an excellent addition to both morning and evening skincare regimens, as it works to hydrate, smooth and minimize fine lines as well as strengthen skin from within, increasing firmness and elasticity while improving firmness and elasticity. Furthermore, its versatile nature means it plays well with other skincare ingredients such as niacinamide/ceramides/acai berry extract/hyaluronic acid/vitamin C/retinols etc, according to Penzi.
Serum
Serum is a lightweight product made of water that delivers high concentrations of bakuchiol to the skin, acting as the first step of an everyday or evening skincare regime and pairing well with anti-wrinkle ingredients like ic Acid for smoothing effects.
When choosing a bakuchiol-infused serum or moisturizer, make sure it does not contain other potentially irritating ingredients. As with any new skincare ingredient, Penzi advises testing it first for two or three nights prior to adding it into your routine; applying at night allows it time to work while sleeping.
Sunscreen
Bakuchiol is non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores) and won’t increase sun sensitivity, making it safe to use in the morning. You’ll find this ingredient in products like Advanced Retinol Advanced which contains both retinaldehyde and bakuchiol to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving tone and texture.
As with other powerful ingredients, bakuchiol can be combined with vitamin C for maximum effectiveness. Vitamin C acts as a natural brightener that can fade dark spots and even out your complexion while bakuchiol promotes healthy cell turnover to keep skin looking radiant. Remember to always wear sunscreen when going outside, particularly if using products containing retinol or exfoliants which could potentially cause sunburn and sensitivity (ResearchGate). For maximum benefits Penzi suggests applying serum containing bakuchiol before morning or night moisturizer – building gradually up over several nights before including it into your daily skincare regime – with an at home patch test by applying small amount of product onto inner forearm two nights in succession before incorporating it into your skincare regime – before fully integrating its use into daily regimen.
Eye Care
Bakuchiol is an eco-friendly alternative to retinoids–the vitamin A-derived skincare ingredients known for their wrinkle-reducing and skin texture-enhancer powers. This substance proves particularly promising around the delicate eye contour area where there are few sebaceous glands and thus are susceptible to dehydration and external aggressors causing premature signs of aging.
Bakuchiol’s non-irritant, photosensitive properties make it the ideal anti-aging treatment for this delicate area, stimulating collagen production and increasing skin elasticity to decrease fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, its inhibitory effects of enzyme tyrosinase help counter hyperpigmentation resulting from melanin formation – making this powerful weapon against brown dark circles.
Bakuchiol does not interact negatively with other active ingredients–it even works well with peptides and exfoliants (provided they’re gentle). Therefore, for optimal skin balance it should be used with serums or oils containing hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides and retinols.
