Bakuchiol is a natural retinol alternative. Bakuchiol has all the same benefits of retinol such as improving acne, hyperpigmentation, cell turn and antiaging without the unwanted side effects of dryness, sun sensitivity, redness and irritation that can occur with retinol.
Bakuchiol works synergistically with other active ingredients like vitamin c, retinol, niacinamide, and even acne ingredients like salicylic acid. Therefore you want to make sure you are choosing the best product to address your personal skin issues for the best results.
For example if you are fighting hyperpigmentation Burt's Bee's renewal dark spot serum would be a great choice. For those wanting to up there antiaging efforts Paula's Choice would be a great choice. However if you are pregnant, nursing or sensitive to retinol The Inkey List has a great product without additional retinol. For those with acne I recommend Allies of skin because it has salicylic acid + Bakuchiol + Mandelic acid.
