Retinol is the super-charged skincare ingredient that has been getting stacks of attention in the beauty world of late. Also called vitamin A, it's loved as an anti-aging cure-all, boosting collagen and elastin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin texture too.
However, retinol can be pretty harsh on your skin. Basically, retinol is not great for people with sensitive skin—while producing miracles for some, retinol is also known for its drying, irritating, itching, and peeling side effects. Though your skin might gradually build up a tolerance to that pricey bottle of skin magic, it is still a risk (and all the more under the sun).
Luckily, an equally powerful alternative exists. Australian brand Andalou Naturals has combined its antioxidant-rich fruit stem cell science biotechnology with a natural retinol alternative called Bakuchiol.
Bakuchiol is plant-based and clinically proven to deliver retinol results without the irritation or the downtime.
In a word: with Bakuchiol, you’ll no longer worry about being out in the sun (a clinical study conducted resulted in 100% of the customers reporting it was irritation-free during daytime), aging, and irritating your skin.
Keen to give it a try? The Andalou Natural Retinol Alternative range includes an Age-Defying Rejuvenating Serum, Age-Defying Rejuvenating Eye Balm, and Age-Defying Rejuvenating Cream.
