A study published recently in the British journal<br />
of dermatology concluded that “bakuchiol is<br />
comparable with retinol in its ability to improve<br />
photoaging and is better tolerated than retinol.<br />
Bakuchiol is promising as a more tolerable<br />
alternative to retinol.” And another study<br />
published a few years ago found that bakuchiol<br />
was associated with “significant improvement in<br />
lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity,<br />
firmness and overall reduction in photo-damage<br />
… without usual retinol therapy-associated<br />
undesirable effects.”<br />
Some experts are cautious about getting too<br />
skincare products<br />
containing bakuchiol<br />
Whish Moisture Replenishing Day Cream<br />
All of Whish Beauty’s products are made with naturally<br />
sourced, organic ingredients. Among Whish’s products<br />
containing bakuchiol is the Moisture Replenishing Day<br />
Cream. This “ultra emollient” cream contains bakuchiol,<br />
terminalia chebula fruit extract, and organic rose hip oil to<br />
reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.<br />
excited with the retinol comparisons, as the<br />
research has not been very robust and more is<br />
required to determine if there are potential<br />
downsides or side effects. But that sort of thing<br />
doesn’t usually stop people from getting excited<br />
anyway.<br />
Over the past few years, bakuchiol has been<br />
making an appearance in skincare formulations,<br />
