Bakuchiol Skincare
3 products
Meet bakuchiol, the plant-based alternative to retinol. It comes from the seeds of the babchi plant and helps skin look firmer and smoother, with fewer visible fine lines. It's gentle enough for everyday use, even for sensitive skin. We pair it with niacinamide in a Korean-made formula for a more even-looking tone, morning and night.

What is bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol (pronounced buh-KOO-chee-all) is a plant compound from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia. It isn't chemically related to retinol, but it's known for improving the look of fine lines, firmness and uneven tone, and it's gentle on sensitive skin.
Bakuchiol vs. Retinol
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is well known for its anti-aging benefits but can cause irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Bakuchiol is a gentle, plant-based alternative that helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without the irritation often associated with retinol. It can be used morning and night, alongside retinol products if desired. As always, we recommend wearing sunscreen daily.
Why bakuchiol + niacinamide?
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps support a healthy-looking skin barrier and visibly evens out tone and the look of pores. Together, the two target the visible signs of aging while keeping skin looking healthy and comfortable. That's the approach behind our Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Anti-Aging Cream.
How to use it
Apply after your serum, morning and evening. For more renewal, pair it with our Mandelic + Edelweiss Renewal Serum or try both in the Anti-Aging Skincare Set.
