Bakuchiol – The Natural Retinol Alternative and the Secret to Firm, Radiant Skin

Nature’s power for gentle and effective skin renewal

What is Bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient extracted from Psoralea corylifolia, used for centuries in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine for its soothing and skin-regenerative properties.
In recent years, this compound has attracted the attention of scientists and skincare experts as a natural and safe alternative to retinol, delivering effective results without the annoying side effects.

Bakuchiol stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, helping to reduce fine lines, improve elasticity, and give a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Unlike retinol, it is gentle on sensitive skin and does not cause redness or peeling, making it suitable for daily use throughout the year.

Bakuchiol vs. Retinol

Retinol is well-known for its effectiveness in fighting signs of aging, but it can cause dryness or irritation, especially for sensitive skin.
Bakuchiol offers almost the same benefits in a gentler, more natural way.

🔹 Retinol: May cause irritation and temporary peeling.
🔹 Bakuchiol: Non-irritating, safe for morning and evening use, suitable for all skin types.

A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology confirmed that using bakuchiol twice daily for 12 weeks produced results comparable to retinol in reducing wrinkles and pigmentation, without noticeable irritation.

Benefits of Bakuchiol for Skin

Bakuchiol is a multifunctional ingredient, offering these key benefits:

• Stimulates collagen production to firm and improve skin elasticity.

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Evens skin tone and gently diminishes pigmentation.

• Protects skin from free radicals with strong antioxidant properties.

• Soothes sensitive skin and preserves natural hydration.

Products containing Bakuchiol, such as DR TAGY’s Fascino Cream, provide natural radiance and skin firmness.

How Bakuchiol Works on the Skin

Bakuchiol works by activating genes responsible for skin cell renewal, in a similar way to retinol, but gently and without irritation.
It also boosts fibroblast activity, responsible for collagen and elastin formation, leaving the skin smoother and firmer over time.

How to Use Bakuchiol Products

For best results, follow these simple steps in your daily routine:

1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.

2. Apply a small amount of the Bakuchiol product to your face and neck.

3. Massage gently in circular motions until fully absorbed.

4. Can be used morning and evening, as it does not make the skin sensitive to sunlight.

5. Follow with a suitable moisturizer to maintain skin hydration.

DR TAGY Tip: With regular use, you will notice visible improvements in skin softness and radiance within a few weeks.
