When it comes to prime ingredients in your skincare routine, retinol is definitely at the top. Retinol as an ingredient helps to exfoliate the skin, assists in increasing cell turnover and fights hyperpigmentation. Retinol also stimulates collagen and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, making it an excellent anti-aging product. It comes in the form of serums, creams and oils, and even some cleansers. However, you can experience some harsh side effects from retinol, so bioretinols are a great alternative.

WHAT ARE BIO-RETINOLS?  

While retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A, bakuchiol (pronounced Buh-Koo-Chee-All) is not. The new retinol alternative helps you to achieve the same benefits from retinol without the harsh side effects. Safe and natural, they penetrate the deeper layers of the skin within hours to combat common skin issues like the ones mentioned above. Bakuchiol is a great way to introduce retinol into your skincare if you haven’t used them before. Also, for those who go green with their skincare and are into vegan products, using this ingredient may be the way for you.

Why we love it: A lightweight gel formula cleanser that evens skin tone, eliminates dullness while brightening and hydrating the skin. With a refreshingly light scent, this can still be used on sensitive skin. 

Bioretinol Tips

It’s suggested that when applying retinol products, apply on dry skin after cleansing and toning and before your serums or essences. If you use your retinol products with your daytime routine, make sure to follow up with an SPF of 30 or greater.
