Abstract in brief

  • This study compares the effectiveness and side effects of bakuchiol, a plant-based compound, and retinol, a common anti-aging ingredient, in treating facial signs of aging over 12 weeks.
  • Both compounds were found to significantly reduce wrinkles and hyperpigmentation with no significant difference in efficacy, but retinol caused more skin irritation like scaling and stinging.
  • The results suggest that bakuchiol works as well as retinol for anti-aging benefits but is better tolerated, making it a promising alternative for those sensitive to retinol's side effects.]

According to a study in The British Journal of Dermatology, bakuchiol is able to fight fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone, &even work against the skin's photoageing process, which is premature ageing of skin due to exposure to UV rays. #Dermaceutic https://t.co/YbBqzHnUWQ

Clinical evidence confirms bakuchiol’s effectiveness a 12 week randomized double-blind study comparing bakuchiol with retinol demonstrated significant improvements in wrinkles hyperpigmentation and overall skin quality with notably less irritation: https://t.co/rZF7zfChaw

Often referred to as "nature's retinol" bakuchiol provides many similar benefits to retinol but without its common side effects such as irritation redness or dryness. https://t.co/rZF7zfChaw

Study demonstrates that bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoageing and is better tolerated than retinol. Bakuchiol is promising. #skin #health #retinol #Bakuchiol Source: PubMed https://t.co/kzo8v4tUnN

Bakuchiol functions similarly to a retinol, increasing cell turnover and thereby stimulating collagen production and diminishing signs of ageing , such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall photodamage @PubMed #skin #Bakuchiol #collagen https://t.co/YbBqzHosMo

栄養無関係のメモ レチノール0.5%クリーム （毎日就寝前の使用） 12週使用でシワ表面積23.2%減 バクチオール0.5%クリーム （毎日朝晩2回の使用） 12週使用でシワ表面積19.0%減 どちらも色素沈着有意に改善 痒み、熱感、ちくちく感の発生割合は、バクチオールが低そう？ https://t.co/aLXQ7o3YSL

@Dija_Ayodele I think it stemmed from comparative studies attempting to find a less sensitising alternative! They apparently induce similar gene expression! But of course everyone’s skins different and so should use what suits them best. Personally I use both lol! https://t.co/rD2td2IgHh

全文読んでないから分からんのだけど、バクチのレチノールを同じ0.5%で同じ効果がでるかどうかで、バクチは一日二回、レチノは一日一回ってことでいいん？それともバクチもレチノも一日二回？ https://t.co/zZHTEu2ckR

Według badań przeprowadzonych przez British Journal of Dermatology, bakuchiol wygładza zmarszczki, spłyca bruzdy i niweluje przebarwienia z równą skutecznością co retinol. Ale do tego ma jeszcze jedną wielką zaletę: nie podrażnia wrażliwej skóry!
