I have never heard of a woman who wants to age and let her skin pale looking, without tone. Many of us immediately resort to various cosmetic interventions, and the more moderate seek a solution in cosmetics. For many years, retinol was a major helper in the fight against wrinkles. Despite the good results we see on our skin, we can not ignore its negative impact. Many women experience unpleasant reactions such as rashes and swelling, even allergies.

Ladies, we have great news. A new ally in anti-age care has emerged, with a completely natural origin, suitable even for sensitive skin prone to allergies.

Who is it?

The plant equivalent of the famous retinol is the Bakuchiol. It is an ingredient derived from the leaves and seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, an annual shrubby plant. Its name comes from the Sanskrit name of the plant: Babći. It has been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. It is especially suitable for sensitive skin prone to allergies. It has all the benefits of retinol but without its unpleasant side effects. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as antibacterial. Like retinol, it increases cell turnover and promotes collagen production.

What are the advantages of Bakuchiol over Retinol?

Shows all the advantages of retinol, a similar chemical structure and very similar effects, but unlike the vitamin A derivative, it does not cause irritation or side effects. That is why it was chosen as an ideal anti-age ingredient, meeting the assumptions of hypo allergenicity. Like retinol, it affects the deeper layers of the skin. This process is associated with an increase in the number of fibroblasts, i.e. cells that produce skin building blocks such as collagen and elastin. As a result, the complexion becomes firmer and resilient, while wrinkles are shallowed. Bakuchiol also has exfoliating properties, thus helping to remove the damaged, keratinized layer of the epidermis. Regular use of cosmetics with plant retinol leads to reduction of discolouration and enhances skin tone.

How to use Bakuhiol in your daily care?

Introducing Bakuchiol into your routine is done similarly to local retinoids. Given its action, it is good to include it in the evening in a convenient form for you - cream or serum. If you use a serum, do not forget to moisturize your skin with a suitable cream afterwards. Start 2-3 times a week, monitoring your skin for reactions. Although unlikely, they are not completely ruled out. Always clean and dry the skin before using the appropriate cosmetic product. 

We recommend the Christian Laurent Bakuhiol series. It includes 3 creams for different ages: 40+, 50+, and 60+. The creation of these products uses the innovative Y-shape technology - a revolutionary procedure for precise face and neck oval modelling, improvement in skin tension and wrinkle elimination. It is a 3-level procedure based on vector-oriented, innovative active ingredients:  2,5% bioRETINOL COMPLEX, peony extract, precious gold, GRAVITY UP® and Essenskin. They stimulate natural processes of skin restoration and activate the self-regeneration of supporting fibres (collagen and elastin). Ensure spectacular improvement in skin firmness and elasticity, and thus - the effect of skin tension and lifting.
