You don't want to use harsh chemicals, but you also don't want acne…
It is such a topic of discussion these days as we all seek more natural alternatives to skincare products. It can be very disheartening trying to find what we need without the hard side effects and the information isn’t readily available to the everyday consumers.
What exactly is Retinol?
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and is found in numerous skincare products. It is often used to treat acne, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. While many people use retinol in their daily skincare regimen, it can be quite harsh and drying on the skin.
Knowing this potency of retinol, a lot of products with retinol are developed in
strength variations from mild to strong. The reason for this is because instead of
having a natural safer alternative, the aim is to attempt adaptation to the retinol
product as opposed to using a much safer alternative.
So, What is the natural solution?
The beauty industry has been going crazy over bakuchiol, a botanical extract from a plant native to India. So, what is it exactly? The plant belongs to a class of anti-aging compounds called plant estrogens and is extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant.
The name of the ingredient may be hard to pronounce, but it's easy to use!
Not only is it fantastic in its treatment of active acne blemishes with all the antibacterial properties, but its retinoid like action means it helps unclog pores preventing future breakouts. It can also be used as a powerful alternative for treating the signs of aging and other skin issues.
Bakuchiol has been used in ancient Ayurvedic medicine for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-protecting properties. But the most mind-blowing fact about Bakuchiol is that studies have proven it is JUST as
effective as retinol.
Let me say that again... It is just as effective as Retinol!
