Homepeel is no stranger to being leading edge when it comes to being at the head of the pack. BETTER THAN RETINOL is our BEST example of this.

BAKUCHIOL - natures Retinol - All the benefits without the side effects.

This vegan-friendly plant extract stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity, brightens, evens out skin tone and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Although Bakuchiol (Ba-koo-chi-all) has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese medicine, its efficacy is only just coming into the limelight.

The British Association of Dermatologists conducted a study comparing Bakuchiol and Retinol. The results highlighted that the effectiveness of both elements was the same.

“The results showed that Bakuchiol and Retinol both significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation,
with no statistical difference between the compounds.”

The only difference was that those using Bakuchiol did not suffer any of the side effects common with Retinol users. No stinging, redness or peeling.

It’s well documented that Retinol is one of the key players in skincare. We enjoy its benefits of:

• Increasing collagen and elastin production
• Accelerating skin cell turnover
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
• Assisting with hyperpigmentation, acne, scarring and blocked pores

It’s been a must-have in improving skin and fighting the signs of ageing.

But traditional retinol has many negative side effects 

In this modern age, we often need reminding that Mother Nature is abundant with all we require to heal. And of course, she has delivered. Bakuchiol is commonly found in the seeds of the plant, Psoralea Corylifolia, native to India and Sri Lanka. The oil pressed from these Babchi seeds are ‘widely recognised among essential oils for its antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal effects’.

BETTER THAN RETINOL’S OTHER SUPER STARS

Jojoba Oil: Soothing and hydrating, Jojoba mimics the skin’s sebum (oil), balancing oil production, prevents and heals acne and scars. Jojoba also accelerates the benefits of all other ingredients, carrying them deeper into the skin.

Rosehip oil: Rich in Vit A, it assists skin cell turnover accelerating collagen production. The Vit C found in high concentrations in Rosehips reduces pigmentation and brightens the skin. The antibacterial and antifungal properties combat acne.

Squalane: Is an antioxidant oil that also mimics your skin's natural oil so it helps to increase hydration that tackles wrinkles being formed. Due to it being a lightweight oil, it’s perfect for use with acne and eczema (thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties) It also helps to control oil flow. How magical!

Coconut Oil: What doesn’t Coconut oil do? Is the better question… Its highly moisturising, kills harmful microorganisms, has anti-inflammatory properties, supports healing and is an antioxidant. It would be weird not to include it.

Holy Basil: An ancient Ayurvedic antioxidant that is a complete all-rounder. Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to treat acne and pigmentation. Absolutely wonderful for anti-ageing.
