INGREDIENT
THE
“GENTLER”
RETINOL
Bakuchiol, the trendy
skincare active, is derived
from the seeds of the
babchi plant, long used
in Chinese and Indian
Ayurvedic medicine. It’s
said to have similar gene
expression to the gold
standard wrinkle reducer
retinol, but without the
potential sensitivity-
causing side effects.
LAB LOWDOWN “A study
in the British Journal of
Dermatology found that
both topical retinol and
bakuchiol significantly
decreased the appear-
ance of lines and hyper-
pigmentation in 12 weeks,”
says GH Beauty Lab
Chemist Danusia Wnek,
but that retinol users
reported more stinging
and scaling. “Additional
research is needed, but
the initial results are
promising.”— With report-
