Why Bakuchiol Is the Retinol Alternative Sensitive Skin Has Been Waiting For
Share
Retinol is known for transforming skin—but not everyone can tolerate it. That’s where bakuchiol steps in: a gentle, plant-derived alternative that mimics the benefits of retinol without the harsh side effects.
At Kore’sy, our 1% Bakuchiol Serum was created for skin that craves clarity without compromise.
What Is Bakuchiol, Really?
Bakuchiol is a botanical extract derived from the Babchi plant. It’s been shown to:
-
Improve skin texture and tone
-
Reduce the appearance of fine lines
-
Support firmness and elasticity
…all without triggering dryness, redness, or peeling.
Why Sensitive Skin Loves It
Unlike traditional retinoids, bakuchiol is:
-
Non-irritating (no flaking or purging)
-
Safe for day and night use
-
Compatible with other soothing ingredients like jojoba oil and fruit antioxidants
