Bakuchiol is a natural compound derived from the Psoralea corylifolia plant, also known as the "babchi" plant. It works by promoting cell turnover and boosting collagen production in the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and even out skin tone.

Bakuchiol provides similar benefits to retinol, but without the typical side effects. It's often referred to as a "natural alternative to retinol." It's gentler on the skin, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin or those who find retinol too harsh.

Generally, Bakuchiol is well-tolerated and can be used by most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, everyone's skin is different, so it's always a good idea to patch test new skincare ingredients to make sure they won't cause an adverse reaction.

Bakuchiol can be used both morning and night. After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of the serum to your face and neck, followed by your moisturizer. If you're using it in the morning, be sure to follow up with a sunscreen.

The timeline can vary depending on your skin type and concerns, but many users report seeing improvement in their skin texture and tone within 4-6 weeks of regular use.

Unlike retinol, which can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and is typically used at night, Bakuchiol can be used both in the morning and at night.

Yes, Bakuchiol has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which can help reduce inflammation and prevent acne outbreaks.

Yes, Bakuchiol can be safely used with other skincare products and treatments. However, if you're using other potent active ingredients like acids or vitamin C, you may want to alternate the days you use them to avoid potential irritation.

Bakuchiol is generally well-tolerated and less likely to cause irritation than retinol. However, as with any skincare product, there's a potential for allergic reactions. Always patch test a new product and stop use if you notice any redness, itching, or other forms of irritation.
