Heard of bakuchiol<\/a>? It’s an ingredient that’s been talked about a lot in the beauty industry in recent years, but there’s still a level of confusion about what it is, and what exactly it can offer your skin. Some have dubbed it the clean beauty movement’s alternative to retinol<\/a>, while others support its efficacy, but are hesitant to offer it the same unencumbered praise as traditional vitamin A<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While science indicates that bakuchiol shows promise, the breadth of evidence available on bakuchiol isn’t as solid as that of retinol just yet. But it’s said to offer similar benefits to vitamin A, albeit in a much more gentle manner \u2013 making it a win for sensitive skin types that struggle to tolerate a retinoid. With consistent use, you can expect diminished fine lines, a more even skin tone and a brighter complexion<\/a> overall.<\/p>\n

Keen to try it for yourself? Shop a few of our favourite bakuchiol skin treatments below.<\/p>\n

Bybi Beauty Bakuchiol Booster, AED84<\/span>\u00a0SHOP NOW<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The release of this natural product back in 2018 marked one of the first times I saw bakuchiol heroed in skincare, and it’s still one of the top formulas for me. You can use it on its own, or add it into your moisturiser as a time-saver. Either way, you’ll notice the texture of your skin improve with consistent application.<\/p>\n
