Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is a plant ingredient from the seeds of the babchi plant. It is often chosen as a gentle option for people who find retinol too strong. In skincare, bakuchiol formulas help smooth the look of fine lines and give skin a more even-looking texture.

Our selection: eye creams from Abib and Haruharu wonder, and the SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Mask, which combines bakuchiol with retinol and retinal.

  • Bakuchiol eye creams: morning and evening, a small amount patted around the eye area.
  • The SOME BY MI mask also contains retinoids: evening only, 1 to 2 times a week.
  • In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

FAQ

Bakuchiol or retinol?
Bakuchiol is a plant ingredient, not a form of vitamin A, and is usually well tolerated. For vitamin A, see our retinol and retinal selection.
