Not every face can tolerate the power of retinol, but most can appreciate its more sensitive, skin-friendly alternatives, like bakuchiol.<\/p>\n
“Bakuchiol is an ingredient derived from the psoralea corylifolia plant, the \u2018babchi\u2019 plant,\u201d cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski previously told Allure<\/em>. The ingredient \u201cfunctions similar to a retinol, increasing cell turnover thereby stimulating collagen production and diminishing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall photodamage,\u201d board-certified dermatologist Sejal Shah, MD, previously told Allure<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s also been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as antibacterial properties.\u201d<\/p>\n All this to say, it\u2019s a powerhouse ingredient that doesn\u2019t get enough credit. But in the Luna Nectar Futurize Botanical Retinol Alternative Boosting Serum<\/strong>, it\u2019s the star of the show. So much so, even its name alludes to the standout ingredient. The elixir is also made with hydrating squalane and rosehip seed oils to add extra nourishment to skin while the fine line-fighting is going on.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to use it: At night, after cleansing, pat three drops onto skin (forehead to neck), followed by moisturizer. And in case you need me to remind you, don\u2019t forget to wear sunscreen the next morning!<\/p>\n The Luna Nectar Futurize Botanical Retinol Alternative Boosting Serum was in the June Allure Beauty Box.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not every face can tolerate the power of retinol, but most can appreciate its more sensitive, skin-friendly alternatives, like bakuchiol. “Bakuchiol is an ingredient derived from the psoralea corylifolia plant, the \u2018babchi\u2019 plant,\u201d cosmetic chemist Perry Romanowski previously told Allure.
