The benefits of bakuchiol.
Bakuchiol is suitable for skin prone to acne and blemishes. Acne affects both teenagers and adults. It is characterised by various symptoms, such as excessive sebum production, hyperkeratinisation, skin inflammation, and bacterial proliferation. Bakuchiol thus helps to combat these skin dysfunctions, normalise the natural flow of sebum, and prevent the development of bacteria that cause the appearance of blemishes.
Bakuchiol offers numerous benefits for the skin:
It combats skin conditions;
It boosts collagen production;
It reduces the damage caused by UV on the skin (burns, spots and others);
It reduces the scars left by blemishes and repairs the skin.
Unlike other active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide or retinoids, bakuchiol is neither photosensitising nor irritating. Therefore, it can be safely applied to sensitive skin. Moreover, it can be combined with a daytime skincare product.
Discover our bakuchiol skincare treatments.
We have developed theblemish serumwith 1% bakuchiol and hazelnut vegetable oil, known for regulating sebum production and rebalancing the hydrolipidic film. Entirely natural, this treatment is suitable for blemish-prone and acne-prone skin. It's worth noting, even though this serum is not photosensitising (it does not increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun's UV rays), we recommend its use primarilyin the evening, at the end of your routine, due to its rather rich texture.
Furthermore, the wrinkle and blemish serum combines the densifying action of retinol (0.3%) with the anti-bacterial action of bakuchiol (1%) to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and correct blemishes. Synthesised by endemic Australian plants, the plant polypeptides it contains are capable of working in synergy with retinol to promote the synthesis of type I collagen. They thus help to reduce the depth of wrinkles and densify the skin. These peptides also contribute to maintaining a thick epidermis, which plays its role as a shield against the external environment.
