Looking for a way to smooth fine lines, brighten skin, and fight breakouts without irritation? Meet bakuchiol! This plant-based alternative to retinol delivers all the anti-aging and skin-clearing benefits without the harsh side effects.


At Glow Studio, we believe skincare should be effective yet gentle, and bakuchiol is one of our favorite ingredients because it works for all skin types including sensitive skin. Let’s break it down so you can see why your skin will love it!



What is Bakuchiol?


Bakuchiol (bah-koo-chee-ol) comes from the Babchi plant, which has been used for centuries in herbal medicine. It works just like retinol by boosting collagen, smoothing wrinkles, and clearing breakouts but without the redness, peeling, or dryness that retinol can cause.


Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is gentle enough for daily use and doesn’t make your skin extra sensitive to the sun, so you can use it morning and night with no worries!



Why You’ll Love Bakuchiol:


  • Firms & Smooths Fine Lines

Bakuchiol boosts collagen, helping your skin stay plump, firm, and youthful.


  • Brightens & Evens Skin Tone

It fades dark spots and gives your skin a healthy glow.


  • Fights Breakouts & Redness

With anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, bakuchiol helps clear pores, calm redness, and prevent breakouts.


  • Keeps Skin Hydrated & Healthy

It locks in moisture and strengthens your skin, keeping it soft, smooth, and glowing.


  • Perfect for Sensitive Skin

Unlike retinol, bakuchiol won’t cause peeling, irritation, or dryness great for all skin types!
