About Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound marketed as a 'natural retinol alternative.' One well-designed study showed comparable anti-wrinkle results to 0.5% retinol with less irritation. That's promising, but it's one study — the evidence is encouraging but not yet deep enough to call it a proven replacement.
