Bakuchiol is a plant-derived (Psoralea corylifolia) compound used as a gentler functional alternative to retinol, promoting collagen production and improving signs of photoaging. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is generally better tolerated than retinoids.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
