If you saw our live yesterday you are already familiar with this magical ingredient and if you haven't seen it yet, you can see it here .
The truth is thatbakuchiol will be talked about more and more because the benefits it brings to the skin are completely transformative. Basically, it is a natural alternative to retinol - it regenerates and treatsblemishes ,hyperpigmentation and skin texture, without irritability, sun sensitivity and redness.
Widely used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, this natural retinoid is the key ingredient in ournew RADIANTE anti-blemish range .
WHAT IS BAKUCHIOL AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Bakuchiol occurs naturally in the seeds and leaves of the psoralea corylifolia plant (presenthere) and reproduces the effects of retinol, acting on several layers of the dermis. This means that it stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, reducing fine lines and restoring firmness to the skin. Furthermore, bakuchiol has been proven to significantly reduce damage such as hyperpigmentation and even acne marks .
BAKUCHIOL VS RETINOL
Since the end results are the same, what is the difference between the two and which one should you choose for your beauty routine?
In addition to always believing in the use of natural ingredients and the benefits that a natural routine brings to our health, there is also the issue of sensitivity and the necessary care to be taken when using retinol that do not apply to thisalternative present in theradiant range .
The great magic ofbakuchiol is that it is safe for all skin types , even the most sensitive and reactive and can be used every day without the fear of photosensitivity, even in the summer morning. Whether you have oily skin or even rosacea, you can nowtreat blemishes without irritating your skin or making the oiliness worse.
Bakuchiol is also compatible with the use of vitamin C, pregnancy and breastfeeding , unlike the traditionally used retinol. Therefore, if you want to avoid the blemishes that often appear at this stage,this range may be the best for you.
A 2018 study published this year in the British Journal of Dermatology shows thatbakuchiol is comparable to retinol in its ability to improve the signs of aging and that its tolerance level is higher. Over the course of 12 weeks, 44 participants were asked to apply either a cream with 0.5% bakuchiol twice a day, or a cream with 0.5% retinol every night. "The researchers concluded that retinol and bakuchiol acted similarly on wrinkles and pigmentation, but the use of bakuchiol reduced scaling, stinging, burning and itching sensations."
