Findings
Both bakuchiol and retinol reduced wrinkles and dark spots equally over 12 weeks. The key difference: retinol users experienced more scaling and stinging, while bakuchiol was gentler on skin. If you want retinol's anti-aging results without the irritation, bakuchiol performed just as well.
