Bakuchiol, derived from the Babchi plant, is a traditional remedy in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Recent research reveals it’s comparable to Retinol in improving photo-ageing, reducing wrinkles, enhancing skin texture, and addressing age spots. While structurally different from retinoids, Bakuchiol elicits similar gene responses that benefit skin photodamage. It’s milder than Retinol, causing less irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Additionally, it boasts antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
