레티놀의 대안으로 민감 피부에도 부작용이 덜한 편입니다. Bakuchiol is well tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive and hyperpigmentation-prone skin, with minimal irritation or photosensitivity. It is considered safe for daily use and preferred by those who cannot tolerate retinol due to irritation or photosensitivity.

바쿠치올은 천연 식물 추출물로, 항산화 및 항노화 효과로 주목받고 있습니다. 주로 주름 개선과 피부 톤 균일화에 사용됩니다. 성장 각질 세포촉진 효과로 피부 속 탄력 증진에도 기여합니다. Bakuchiol exhibits retinol-like activity by upregulating types I, III, and IV collagen synthesis, which strengthens the skin’s extracellular matrix and basement membrane. It also increases fibroblast proliferation and keratinocyte growth factor (FGF7), enhancing skin regeneration and epidermal repair. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to skin aging. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is photostable and can be used daily without causing photosensitivity or irritation. It inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade collagen, and in clinical studies, bakuchiol significantly improved fine lines, wrinkles, skin elasticity, firmness, pigmentation, and moisture retention. Bakuchiol also helps stabilize retinol in formulations, reducing retinol-induced oxidative stress.
