What’s the Difference between Backuchiol and Retinol?

“Great skin doesn’t happen by chance. It happens by choice.”

If you’ve ever stepped into the world of skincare, there are various product options that you might have seen, including the superstars of the industry's retinol & bakuchiol.

Retinol’s like the warrior who is ruling over everyone’s heart, & also famous for making your skin look younger, fresher, and smoother. But here’s the thing that it can sometimes feel like your skin’s worst enemy, leaving you red, flaky, and irritated. Been there, right?

Here Comes the Backuchoi. It’s the gentle plant-based hero that’s been quietly stealing the spotlight. It promises similar results but without the drama. Are you curious to know about it? Let's go through this blog to the end & you will get your answer.

What’s Retinol?

It is basically a derivative of vitamin A  that is very beneficial for your skin. It speeds up cell turnover, kicks out dead skin, and also boosts collagen with the stuff that keeps your face looking plump and smooth. It helps in reducing wrinkles, fades hyperpigmentation & also helps in boosting collagen.

But there is also one fact that might make your skin dry, flaky, and sensitive to sunlight. If someone is pregnant or breastfeeding then doctors usually tell them to avoid it. This is also good for your skin, but sometimes it does not suit everyone.

 What’s Bakuchiol?

This comes from a plant called Babchi, and it’s been used in medicine for centuries. It’s basically nature’s answer to retinol by giving you many of the same anti-aging perks but with zero irritation. It also has the same effect as Retinol without its side effects, but is a more gentle option to choose.

 This means that there is no redness, no peeling & no uncomfortable dryness. There is also a benefit that you can use it even if you’re pregnant or having sensitive skin.
