What Is Bakuchiol?

Potential Side Effects

Bakuchiol appears to have a few potential side effects. Using it topically may mean fewer side effects than taking it orally. Thus, patients may only want to take it by mouth if they have discussed it with their doctor first. This extract seems to cause less skin irritation and redness than retinol. However, patients may still want to watch out for these side effects. Other potential side effects may include skin swelling, peeling, and pain. Patients may wish to visit a dermatologist if these effects appear.

Individuals may only want to apply this extract where it is necessary. In addition, they may only want to apply it for short periods. Extended use appears to increase the risk of side effects. Finally, they may need to combine bakuchiol with other products to achieve effective results.
