NOTE: It is important to gradually introduce a new skincare product into your skincare routine, even if your skin isn't sensitive. If this is your first time introducing an active ingredient into your skincare routine, we highly recommend to do a patch test on a small section of skin behind your ear or inside your elbow for 24 hours to check for any allergies. 

How does Bakuchiol work?

• Bakuchiol is a retinol-alternative and a potent antioxidant. Clinical studies have shown that it has a range of anti ageing benefits to the skin. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, help restore skin firmness, even out skin tone and refine skin texture. 

What is the difference between Bakuchiol & retinol?

• Bakuchiol is not retinol, nor a retinoid compound. The chemically structure is different. However, it is considered as a retinol-alternative as it functions as a retinol without the drawbacks. Bakuchiol can be used during the day and is better tolerated by the skin. 

This is my first time using a skincare product with an active ingredient. How do I introduce Bakuchiol into my skincare routine?

• First things first, patch test. If you have never introduced an active ingredient into your skincare routine, we recommend incorporating Bakuchiol into your skincare routine gradually. Start slow once every other day for at least 2 weeks. Allow your skin to adapt and then tweak the usage according to your skin needs. 

What is patch testing & why is it important?

• Patch testing is a good way of testing a new product to see if it will work for your skin. It is when you apply a small amount of a new skincare product on a section of skin behind your ear or inside your elbow for at least 24 hours to test for any skin reactions. We recommend patch testing even if you skin isn't sensitive as skin sensitivity can change with age!
