How Different From Retinol?
Bakuchiol delivers comparable anti-wrinkle effects to retinol. Unlike retinol, it is non-photosensitive, so it works safely in daytime formulas. It causes far less irritation, dryness, or peeling, making it ideal for sensitive-skin formulations. However, its anti-aging potency is milder than high-strength retinol.
