Valuable and well-tried Bakuchiol – effects, application and useful information
You keep hearing about Bakuchiol and have been wondering for a long time what it actually is and how it works? This herbal anti-aging ingredient is often considered a natural alternative to retinol. The positive effects on the skin are similar and the Bakuchiol application is particularly gentle on the skin. If you are looking for a gentle alternative to retinol, you will definitely find it with Bakuchiol. But even together, bakuchiol and retinol are an unbeatable duo in the area of anti-aging and in the treatment of various skin problems. Bakuchiol is also a particularly powerful antioxidant. Here you will find out how you can use the active ingredient and what successes it can bring you in skin care.
What effect does Bakuchiol have on the skin?
Bakuchiol is a herbal active ingredient obtained from the Babchi plant. The plant Psoralea corylifolia, as its botanical name is, originally comes from India and plays an important role in both Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. In various steps and using the most careful methods, a concentrated bakuchiol extract is obtained from the plant, which is used, among other things, in anti-aging products.
Products containing bakuchiol have many skin care benefits:
- Anti-aging care: Bakuchiol can support collagen production and thus have a positive effect on the elasticity and firmness of the skin. This means it evens out fine lines and wrinkles very effectively.
- Antioxidant properties: Bakuchiol is a powerful antioxidant. It can therefore render free radicals harmless and thus reduce oxidative stress in the skin. Free radicals can be responsible for cell damage and premature skin aging. That's why antioxidants are so important in anti-aging care.
- Skin Brightening: Bakuchiol can help even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation. Annoying stains can lighten. This makes the complexion appear more even.
Use for impure skin: Bakuchiol can be used for applications where anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects are required. This is why it is a helpful active ingredient in the treatment of impure skin. Bakuchiol is a particularly good choice if you want to combine the application with a good anti-aging effect.
Bakuchiol and retinol: alternative or good combination?
Retinol is a popular and very effective anti-aging ingredient. It can support collagen production and cell regeneration. This allows the skin to appear smoother, firmer and more youthful with regular use. Just like bakuchiol, retinol can also be useful in treating blemished skin, evening out skin tone and combating free radicals.
However, if you have very sensitive skin, retinol can cause irritation and dry skin. Irritation may occur, especially at the beginning of use, before the skin condition finally improves. This is why retinol is not always recommended for very sensitive and reactive skin. For example, if you have rosacea or other skin conditions, retinol may not be right for you. Then Bakuchiol products are a gentle alternative.
However, if your skin is not that sensitive, you should definitely try a product with a combination of bakuchiol and retinol. Together, the two active ingredients are almost unbeatable. Their effects complement each other so that they can be used optimally together. This can maximize benefits and prevent possible irritation.
