The holy grail ingredient in Western skincare is actually not that popular in Korean skincare. The reason is that K-Beauty is formulated to be gentle, preventative and suitable for sensitive skin. Retinol can be quite harsh on the skin and cause side effects, especially in the adjustment period.
Enter Bakuchiol! A vegan alternative (it’s usually a lot more affordable too) that boasts the same benefits without the side effects. What’s not to love?
