In the world of skincare, retinol is hailed as a hero, and for good reason! It’s the definition of a “do it all” queen, working hard to increase collagen production (insert us waving goodbye to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles), unclog pores, reduce acne breakouts, treat hyperpigmentation, and improve the overall look of your skin. Sounds pretty perfect to us. However, as amazing a retinol is, it can potentially irritate the skin and disrupt the moisture barrier, your skin’s outermost level.
You’re probably wishing there was an ingredient as amazing as retinol, minus the potential irritation. Lucky for you, there is! Enter: Bakuchiol. A longtime staple in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make this a skincare savior in its own right. It provides the benefits of retinol, while reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier, meaning that the addition of bakuchiol to a formula with retinol allows you to fully embrace your retinol routine without worrying about any potential side effects.
So again, which is right for you when it comes to Bakuchiol vs. Retinol? The answer is both! The Dr. Dennis Gross Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Texture Renewal Peel in the Summer FabFitFun Box is formulated with their proprietary Phyto-Retinol Blend™—a combination of two forms of retinol, ferulic acid, bakuchiol and rambutan—aka all the results minus the irritation! Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds?
