What does Bakuchiol do?

Studies and research have shown that bakuchiol has a variety of anti-aging benefits for the skin. It has various good properties that reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help restore firmness, refine skin texture, and even out skin tone. Bakuchiol helps to soothe the skin, making it a good choice for those whose skin shows signs of sensitivity. When combined with retinol, bakuchiol can help stabilize it and keep it effective longer. Another benefit of using products that contain both bakuchiol and retinol is that bakuchiol's calming ability may enable the skin to tolerate higher amounts of retinol.

If you want a lightweight formula that flakes easily with other leave-in products in your routine, you should opt for a treatment like a bakuchiol serum or lotion. A bakuchiol oil is excellent for dry, dehydrated skin. If using a heavily oil-based formula,  generally it should be applied at night, as this is the last step in your routine.
