SCIENTIFIC NOTE
The dhaliwal et al. (2019, british journal of dermatology) split-face rct directly compared 0.5% bakuchiol vs 0.5% retinol twice daily for 12 weeks — both groups showed equivalent reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, but bakuchiol showed significantly less scaling, stinging, and burning. this is the strongest evidence that bakuchiol provides retinol-equivalent anti-aging with better tolerability.
