Bakuchiol VS Retinol
Bakuchiol has been making waves in the skincare industry as a potential alternative to retinol. Here are some reasons why it might be a better fit for some individuals:
- Gentler on the skin: Bakuchiol is generally considered to be milder and better tolerated by sensitive skin types, offering similar benefits to retinol without the accompanying side effects.
- Less phototoxicity: Bakuchiol doesn't have the same phototoxic effects as retinol, making it potentially safer for daytime use without heightened sun sensitivity.
- Suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding individuals: Bakuchiol, being a natural plant-based extract, is considered a safer alternative for individuals in these phases.
- Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties: Bakuchiol boasts properties that can soothe the skin and protect it from environmental stressors, which can be beneficial for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
- Stability and compatibility: Bakuchiol is more stable than retinol, making it less prone to degradation when exposed to air or light, allowing for easier formulation into various skincare products and better compatibility with other active ingredients.
