Gentle Rejuvenation (Retinol Alternative)
Overview
Derived from the seeds of the Babchi plant, Bakuchiol is a potent botanical antioxidant that clinical studies have shown to function analogously to retinol. It binds to the same cellular receptors to stimulate collagen production and cellular turnover, but lacks the structural elements that cause the famous retinol burn and photosensitivity.
A natural, plant-based alternative to retinol that gives you the wrinkle-smoothing benefits without the redness or peeling.
