Skininc.com’s  article written by “Whish,” “Nature’s Retinol: 3 Skin Benefits of Bakuchiol,” compares retinol and bakuchiol and highlights the similarities and differences between the two ingredients. The benefits, derived from scientific research that has been ongoing regarding Bakuchiol is demonstrating that bakuchiol is a strong contender in the skin care ingredient market.

Some of the unique research findings related to bakuchiol

First, it’s a good natural alternative to retinol for those with sensitive skin. It delivers many of the same benefits of retinols but with far less sensitivities. Studies have shown it can even be used by those with eczema/atopic dermatitis, rosacea, and cosmetic intolerance syndrome.

Second, it offers the ability to curtail or help with photoaging of the skin. From fine lines and wrinkles to skin discolorations and hyperpigmentation it helps mitigate these, just like retinol. Plus, it also helps to increase cell turnover while it stimulates collagen production.

Third, besides being another antioxidant in your skincare arsenal, the article states “studies also show that bakuchiol has chemopreventive properties that inhibit and suppress the proliferation of skin cancer cells by targeting Hck, Blk, and p38 MAP kinase (enzymes that speed up chemical reactions in the body).”  Yes, this is a big finding that will certainly garner attention and follow-up studies.

And the best part of Bakuchiol vs Retinol debate – if you can tolerate both – they work wonderfully together. Yes, that’s right, you can combine these two potent ingredients in the same formula (as some have done) or layer them on top of each other – as Reviva generally suggests.

Bakuchiol will be big in 2023

We’re confident that 2023 will be the year of Bakuchiol, at least until another fantastic ingredient is discovered. And we’re happy to be at the forefront of this trend with our Bakuchiol Plus Serum that combined Bakuchiol, Alfalfa, and Artichoke to deliver a truly unrivaled anti-aging serum.
