All about bakuchiol, retinol and there anti-wrinkles benefits for the face
What exactly is retinol ? Retinol is an active form of vitamin A (Retinyl palmitate), an essential vitamin for healthy skin, which is part of the large family of retinoids. Its benefits? It stimulates collagen production, regulates melanin, calms inflammation and smoothes skin texture. Highly antioxidant, retinol visibly improves the texture of the skin, boosts cell renewal and fights against dull complexion and skin dryness: it's a must for a new skin! Please note that retinol is a powerful active ingredient that is not well tolerated by all skin types. It can cause irritation, is photosensitizing, and not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Natural alternatives to retinol
Do not panic, it is quite possible to enjoy all the benefits of retinol without risking your skin: there are alternatives to retinol, milder forms that offer similar virtues without irritating the skin. Among them is bakuchiol, from the Aruvedic babchi plant, which can be found in skincare products from the high-end brand Okoko Cosmétiques or in the Hawaiian Nights serum from the Hawaiian brand Mahalo. Some vegetable oils such as wild rose oil or cacay oil are naturally rich in vitamin A or bio retinol, which gives them exceptional regenerating and anti-aging properties. Nature never stops surprising us: plants such as the bidens pilosa found in the Evolve bio retinol gold mask, or the butterfly bean, star ingredient of the Dewy Dream Bean mask from the luxury brand Lilfox, also offer properties similar to retinol without side effects.

The essential for acne-prone skin is the Okoko Cosmétiques manuka elixir, a face oil rich in bakuchiol, nigella and salicylic acid. This purifying and healing concentrate is as effective in regulating and purifying the skin as it is in reducing acne scars and pigment spots.

The differences between vitamins A, C and E in face care
Vitamins A, C and E are essential vitamins for the health and beauty of the skin. Vitamin A stimulates the production of collagen for plumped and firm skin, vitamin C also helps restore the elasticity of the skin, but it also helps reduce the production of melanin to fight against pigment spots. Vitamin E, on the other hand, is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent damage caused by free radicals.
