INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT | 🌱Bakuchiol🌱
Our new REDEFINE REGIMEN is full of cutting edge new formulations that not only work faster but are cleaner and better for sensitive skin. 💚
We all know RETINOL is the ‘gold standard’ in anti-ageing, the vitamin A-derivative is proven to speed up our skin cells’ turnovers and provide skin-smoothing, brightening, collagen-stimulating prowess and its ability to treat acne make it a must-have in your skincare routine. 💚
But, like most things we love, RETINOL has a downside for sensitive skin.All that turbo-regeneration action can come with a side serving of dryness, flaking, redness and inflammation if your complexion’s sensitive. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
But what if there was a kinder ALTERNATIVE to RETINOL??🧐🌱
An ingredient that promised the same transformative powers only without the risk of irritation?? 💚
According to scientists, THERE IS!!! and it comes in the form of a natural, plant-based ingredient called BAKUCHIOL. 💚🌱
A superstar new ingredient that lends all of the benefits of retinol and more. And it’s got the research to back it up. A clinical study looking at bakuchiol’s impact on skin found it to be just as effective as retinol when it comes to nuking hyperpigmentation and fine lines. But – and here’s the seriously exciting part – bakuchiol testers experienced none of the soreness or irritation that is so often reported with retinol!!! 🙌
It’s been found to improve skin brightness, sort uneven skin tone, up plumpness, minimise enlarged pores, boost firmness, smooth out texture and lessen fine lines. In short, it offers all the same plus points as retinol – but with less risk of irritation.
And most importantly, all of our pregnant and breastfeeding Mumma’s can continue to experience all the benefits of retinol with this gentler new alternative to retinol. While some experts say there’s not yet quite enough evidence to confirm, a lot of skincare brands rule it is perfectly safe to use while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding – offering a major advantage over retinol!!! 🤱
Overall we are just LOVING this new ingredient and the advanced new formulations in our REDEFINE OVERNIGHT RESTORATIVE CREAM!
**As ALWAYS, we recommend you get clearance from your doctor when introducing any new products or ingredients to your skincare routine while pregnant or breastfeeding.
