In the world of anti-aging ingredients, there are few that can compete with or compare to retinol, the undisputed gold standard among dermatologists. And for good reason: retinoids have been proven to be highly effective time and time again, helping to both speed cell turnover on the outer layers of the skin, while also stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers. Translation: Clearer, more even skin and fewer wrinkles. So why isn\u2019t everyone and their mother using a retinoid? Largely because along with all of that potency comes the potential for some seriously irritating\u2014and unsightly\u2014side effects, namely redness, flaking, and dryness. It also breaks down when exposed to sunlight, not to mention isn\u2019t safe to use during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why bakuchiol is the latest anti-aging ingredient garnering lots of buzz. Derived from a plant native to India and Sri Lanka, it\u2019s been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, despite the fact that it\u2019s just now becoming a mainstream skincare ingredient. Why the lag time? Scientists have only recently discovered that it may be comparable to retinol. Despite the fact that the two have very different molecular structures, \u201cbakuchiol has antioxidant properties that make it similar to retinol,\u201d explains cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski. \u201cThis is what prompted scientists to investigate how the two would compare,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results? According to a recent study published in the British Journal of Dermatology, bakuchiol and retinol had similar effects when it came to decreasing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to make conclusions about bakuchiol because this was a small study, but the evidence points to them being comparable,\u201d Romanowski says. The big difference between the two? The newbie proved to be much less irritating. Couple that with the fact that it won\u2019t break down in the sun and is generally safe to use during pregnancy (though it\u2019s always a good idea to check with your doc) and bakuchiol is poised to give retinol a run for its money. Curious to give it a try? Find it in these five products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
