Bakuchiol, Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate

Works well

What the product description says

“The first waterless 2-in-1 serum made with Vitamin C plus Phyto-retinol, Bakuchiol , to protect against UV radiation, stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce hyperpigmentation.”

Source: N/A

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.

BakuchiolKey activeEffect: HighA 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~0.5–1.2%

Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbateUnder-dosedBeing a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.~3.6–5.5%

Anti-aging

Bakuchiol, Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate

Works well

What the product description says

“The first waterless 2-in-1 serum made with Vitamin C plus Phyto-retinol, Bakuchiol , to protect against UV radiation, stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce hyperpigmentation.”

Source: N/A

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains bakuchiol.

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.

Moisturizing

Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Coco-caprylate/caprate + 3 more

Works

What the product description says

“BENEFITS Vitamin C ( 5% THD Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) Squalane – hydrating, emollient Bakuchiol – antiaging reduces hyperpigmentation Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate ) – antioxidant Macadamia Oil – softening Plum Oil – antioxidant, extra benefit for dry skin DIRECTION Apply twice daily to clean dry face.”

Source: N/A

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Side benefit · Bakuchiol, Tocopheryl acetate + 1 more

Works well

Tocopheryl acetateEffect: Low, below effective doseA more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.~0.15–0.55%
