When it comes to the whole bakuchiol vs. retinol, there’s no debate. Since your skin literally can’t tell the difference between the two, and the results are strikingly similar, it all boils down to whether or not you can handle the irritation that retinoids cause.
It’s important to remember that retinol is quite obviously synthetically derived and created in a lab. This means that it’s basically a brutally harsh chemical cocktail, and it’s going to do a major number on your face in the process. Bakuchiol, on the other hand, is completely natural and plant-based. It’s safe, gentle, and effective.
At the end of the day, no two skin types are identical. While some people can handle retinol, for many of us, the side effects simply aren’t worth it. If you could get the same amazing anti-aging benefits, just without the pain, why wouldn’t you choose bakuchiol over retinol?
Our HYDRAGLOW moisturizer is formulated with bakuchiol, squalane, and stem cells to achieve noticeably softer, younger, and healthier skin. 💜✨
