MooGoo Skincare Bakuchiol (1% w/v) Natural Retinol Substitute Active Serum 25ml

For boosting collagen and skin rejuvenation

Retinol (Vitamin A)Retinoids work by prompting surface skin cells to turn over and die rapidly, making new cell growth underneath. They hinder the breakdown of collagen and thicken the deeper layer of skin where wrinkles get their start. They are also helpful with pigmentation issues and blemish-prone skin.

Retinoids are known to cause severe irritation in some people. Redness, stinging and flaky skin are a few of the signs that your skin doesn't react well to Retinol. Retinol also makes your skin more sensitive to sun exposure which is counter-productive in Australia. Retinol also comes with a warning to pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding. Even those who don't have sensitive skin can react to it at first. It's also not a natural ingredient, which is a bit concerning

Moogoo aims to make their products gentle, especially the sensitive types. For a few years now, Moogoo looked at the research looking for natural ingredients that can pack the same anti-ageing punch as Retinol without the adverse effects. Bakuchiol is new but has some great supporting studies. Pronouncedbah-Koo-chee-all, this plant-based alternativeis derived from the Babchi Herb. It comes with some impressive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it probably has started to earn the moniker of "plant-based Retinol".
