The Best Bakuchiol Products for (Almost) Every Step of Your Skincare Routine

Embracing a holistic approach to skincare has led to the rise of innovative ingredients, and one such star on the scene is Bakuchiol.

Derived from the Babchi plant, this natural alternative to retinol has gained popularity for its gentle yet effective approach to anti-ageing skincare.

Similarly to traditional retinols, bakuchiol works to increase cell turnover, stimulate collagen production and smooth fine lines for a firmer, more evenly-toned complexion – without the redness, dryness or irritation that can come with retinol.

Whether you're seeking a pregnancy-safe retinol alternative, a gentler option for sensitive skin, or a nod to the natural beauty movement, Bakuchiol is here to elevate your skincare game.

Below, we’ve assembled a collection of bakuchiol products available on Adore Beauty for almost every step of your skincare routine.
