Bakuchiol or Retinol?
Retinol is a weaker and more affordable form of the Retinoids group that are a famous ingredient in skincare formulations (Retinoids are usually stronger and prescription only). On the other hand, retinols are available over the counter.
Topical retinoids are effective in smoothing wrinkles and brightening skin because they increase skin cell turnover. But they also come with side effects such as burning, stinging, peeling, redness and dryness. these side effects can be considered unboreable for many individuals.
Bakuchiol is considered a natural alternative to a retinoid, and it may activate similar pathways to boost collagen production.
bakuchiol doesn’t seem to bring the same side effects as retinoids, earlier research points out. Bakuchiol is generally less irritating and may carry a lower risk of side effects like redness or flaking.
Bakuchiol can safely considered an alternative to retinol for people experiencing acne, hyperpigmentation, and sensitive skin.
