Works for
Anti-agingBakuchiol, Lysine + 2 moreWorks well
“Bakuchiol (natures gentle alternative to retinol) also helps to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains bakuchiol.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: lysine, palmitoyl tripeptide-5.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingPanthenol, Urea + 13 moreWorks well
“Expertly formulated by Dr Yannis with both chemical and physical complexion-perfecting exfoliators, it features a clinical-grade, Fruit-Acid Complex to slough off dead skin and Rose Quartz to actively brighten, promote luminosity and help retain skin's moisture.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, diglycerin.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-5, panthenol, urea
Evens skin toneBakuchiol, Lactic acidWorks well
“The result? Pores, pigmentation, dullness and blemishes appear reduced and a brighter, illuminated complexion beneath is unveiled.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: bakuchiol
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemishBakuchiol, AllantoinMay help
“The result? Pores, pigmentation, dullness and blemishes appear reduced and a brighter, illuminated complexion beneath is unveiled.”
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains bakuchiol.
ExfoliationUrea, Allantoin + 1 moreNot delivered

A plant extract that is, though different in chemical structure, acts similar to retinoids. First studies show that it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation. There is no conclusive evidence that bakuchiol is as effective as retinol however. The study that directly compared retinol with bakuchiol used bakuchiol applied twice daily compared to once per day for the retinol. According to this study, bakuchiol is less irritating than retinol. Bakuchiol is extracted from seeds of Babchi plant. Other parts of the plant contain coumarins that could cause allergic and irritant reactions. These compounds should be removed in the extraction process when bakuchiol is produced, but it is a good idea to be cautious and stay away from products that include the Babchi plant extracts other than purified bakuchiol to avoid irritation

Ingredient callouts
- this product contains Bakuchiol (0.45% - 0.65%). It is a plant extract that is has a similar effect to that of Retinoids but with less irritation. Bakuchiol can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.50% - 0.70%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (urea 0.25% - 0.50%, sodium pca 0.30% - 0.55%, pca 0.25% - 0.45%, pantolactone 0.20% - 0.40%, panthenol 0.40% - 0.60%, glycerin 4.60% - 5.60%, diglycerin 0.30% - 0.60% and betaine 1.30% - 1.60%).
