Bakuchiol is garnering growing interest in the skincare realm as a natural substitute for retinol, and you might be curious about it as well. Derived from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, it stands as a vegan skincare component. Is this ingredient the right fit for you? Let’s delve into it.

Q: Can Bakuchiol Serum be used in the morning?
A: Certainly! Bakuchiol, often referred to as the ‘plant-based retinol,’ is a versatile serum that can be incorporated into both your morning and evening skincare routines. Unlike traditional retinol, Bakuchiol doesn’t heighten skin sensitivity to UV rays. Instead, it provides a protective shield against photo damage.

Q: Does Bakuchiol require a tolerance build-up?
A: Not at all. Bakuchiol boasts a gentle profile compared to its retinol counterpart, requiring no tolerance buildup. However, we recommend a patch test before introducing any new product to ensure your skin’s compatibility with specific ingredients.

Q: Who is suitable for Bakuchiol products?
A: Bakuchiol is an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin seeking anti-aging benefits without the irritation often associated with retinol. It stimulates collagen production, visibly reducing and preventing wrinkles, pigmentation, and UV damage. BAO Laboratory’s Demeter Regenerating Halo Serum, containing 2% Bakuchiol, coupled with vitamin C, vitamin E, squalane, and bisabolol, delivers enhanced antioxidant effects while nurturing delicate skin. It’s a safe choice for sensitive skin.

Q: How long does it take to see results with Bakuchiol?
A: Results are visible! In a 28-day study using Demeter Regenerating Halo Serum, participants reported a noticeable reduction in wrinkles with zero sensitivity symptoms. The study confirmed a remarkable 26.62% increase in skin elasticity, a 25% decrease in crow’s feet visibility, and a 20.13% improvement in skin firmness.

While individual responses to Bakuchiol may vary, consistent use is the key to unlocking its full potential.
