What Is Bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol seems to be a staple in Indian and Chinese medicine. It appears to be derived from plants. One example may be Psoralea corylifolia seeds. In the United States, this extract appears to be a common ingredient in skincare products. Many of these products seem to be available over-the-counter as a possible retinol alternative. It may be an effective alternative since it appears to cause fewer side effects. However, patients may still want to patch-test products first.

It seems that bakuchiol products may be a strong treatment for acne. Some individuals may use a bakuchiol serum as an anti-aging treatment as well. This may be effective.
