Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol
Comedogenic rating 0/5
A meroterpene from Psoralea corylifolia, sold as a retinol alternative.
Why it matters
Gentler than retinol, weaker than retinol. Fine if retinoids are off the table.
Cautions
The plant has a photosensitising reputation in other extracts; bakuchiol itself is usually well tolerated.
