Replenish and restore skins hydration levels plus encourage quicker cell turnover with ModernRoots' Bakuchiol+ as a retinol alternative for sensitive skin. With just a few drops, this product delivers an intensely moisturizing treatment that feels silky and weightless. Let's dig into the specifics:
Why Does Bakuchiol Work as a Retinol Alternative?
It is important to understand that Bakuchiol oil is not the same as a retinol used in skincare products. It simply does not have the same structure and harsh effects of retinols/retinoids. However, Bakuchiol can regulate gene expression in a similar way to retinol which is the main attribute of both to help with anti-aging and regenerating skin cells. Bakuchiol also helps stimulate collagen production, is skin firming, improves tone and texture all while being appropriate for sensitive skin.
What's Bakuchiol Oil?
Bakuchiol is natural and found in the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, also known as the Babchi plant. The oil from the seeds is solvent extracted and distilled for purity. We use the highest quality, organic bakuchiol for highest efficacy.
