Bakuchiol: what it does & who it's for

A plant-based alternative to retinol — gentle enough for sensitive skin.

What it is

A plant-based alternative to retinol — gentle enough for sensitive skin. In short, it's one of the active ingredients Vaiya's engine understands and can match to your skin and goals.

How to use it

Introduce Bakuchiol slowly — every other day at first — and give your skin a couple of weeks to adjust before increasing frequency. Patch test on a small area first, and if you layer several actives, add one at a time so you can tell what's working.
