Description
How the serum with bakuchiol works
Bakuchiol is obtained from the seeds and leaves of the plant Psoralea corylifolia, which has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. Chemically, it does not resemble retinol, but laboratory and clinical studies have shown that in the skin it works against ageing in many ways like vitamin A derivatives. It stimulates collagen production, improves skin firmness and elasticity and has an anti-inflammatory effect. At the same time, it irritates the skin less than retinol and does not increase its sensitivity to the sun.
These ingredients work together in the serum:
- Bakuchiol (2%) reduces fine lines and wrinkles, evens out skin tone and soothes redness.
- Jojoba oil nourishes the skin and leaves no greasy feel.
- Hyaluronic acid binds water in the skin and helps maintain its hydration.
Together, jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid restore the hydrolipid balance and strengthen the protective function of the skin.
Who the serum is suitable for
The serum is intended mainly for oily, combination and problem skin prone to acne. It is light and does not weigh the skin down or clog it, so it is also suitable where a rich anti-ageing cream would not be. You will also appreciate it if you want to address the first signs of ageing but retinol does not suit your skin. If you have sensitive skin, first test it on a small area of skin. If it does not irritate your skin, you can use it on the whole face.
Bakuchiol or retinol?
Retinol is still the best-researched substance against skin ageing. However, in many people it causes redness, stinging and peeling and increases the skin’s sensitivity to the sun. In a randomised study from 2019, bakuchiol reduced wrinkles and pigmentation spots comparably to retinol. However, retinol users more often reported peeling and stinging of the skin.
When you will see results
Bakuchiol works gradually. In studies, its effect on wrinkles and pigmentation spots was assessed after 12 weeks of use twice a day. Regular use is therefore important.
What to combine the serum with
After the serum, apply a moisturising cream. In the morning, always use a cream with sun protection factor SPF 30 to 50. You can also use the serum together with the Vitamin C Serum.
How to use
Apply an appropriate amount of serum to cleansed skin of the face and neck, massage in gently and allow to absorb. Then use your cream. You can use the serum in the morning and evening, in the morning always with an SPF cream.
Warning: Do not use on damaged skin. If you have sensitive skin, introduce the serum gradually, only after testing it on a small area of skin. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. The product is not suitable for children. Store out of the reach of children, at room temperature, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

Can bakuchiol replace retinol?
