Understanding Bakuchiol
December 1, 2020
Bakuchiol is a common part of Indian and Chinese medicine. This is a plant extract! In most cases, it is extracted from Psoralea corylifolia seeds. Most individuals in the United States use bakuchiol in their skincare products. It is rising in popularity as an alternative to retinol! This extract is offered over-the-counter in serums, oils, and even moisturizers. Most patients experience fewer side effects with it than with retinol! However, it is vital to patch-test products with bakuchiol first. This requires putting a small amount of the product on the inner part of their elbow and waiting twenty-four hours. They cannot use the product if their skin becomes red or irritated during this period!
