New + improved formula, now with the plant based retinol alternative, Bakuchiol!
The powerful extract Bakuchiol is found in the seeds and leaves of the babchi plant, which has been used in Chinese and Indian restorative medicine for years.
In clinical studies, significant improvement in lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall reduction in photo-damage have been found, without undesirable retinol side effects such as dryness and irritation. Similar to retinol, bakuchiol works to turn over skin cells, making room for newer, fresher, better-appearing cells to come to the top. It also pushes collagen (a skin-strengthening protein) to the surface for more elastic, youthful-looking skin.
Researchers also found that bakuchiol was actually better than retinol at slowing down the activity of two matrix metalloprotease enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, MMP-1 and MMP-12. While it's considered an active ingredient, bakuchiol doesn't present the sun exposure risk that retinol does. Rather than leaving skin more sensitive to the sun, it works as an antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from UV exposure.
