Retinol that won't turn you into a peeling mess. Bakuchiol, the plant-based retinol alternative, teams up with actual retinol to double the anti-aging power while cutting the irritation in half. The peptide relaxes expression lines while you sleep, so you wake up looking less stressed than when you went to bed. Start with twice a week and work up to nightly as your skin builds tolerance. This isn't about dramatic peeling and purging. It's about consistent, gentle renewal that adds up to real change over months, not days. For people who want younger-looking skin without the retinol horror stories.
