Safety Guide
Evidence-based safety information for using Bakuchiol for sensitive and reactive skin.
Bakuchiol is recommended for sensitive skin. It is well-tolerated and can be beneficial for reactive skin types.
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 โ the evidence is encouraging but not yet deep enough to call it a proven replacement.
