These alternatives typically contain compounds such as beta-carotene and other potent antioxidants for deep nourishment and profound anti-ageing effects.\n\nStudies show that <strong><span style=\"color:#046a38\">Bakuchiol<\/span><\/strong>, an ingredient derived from plants, mimics the effects of retinol by improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation while stimulating cell turnover to improve skin brightness, firmness and elasticity.\n\nA 12-week clinical study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found Bakuchiol is better tolerated than traditional retinol: none of the participants in the study experienced photosensitivity, and none reported skin irritation, redness or sensitivity after using Bakuchiol. In other words, they enjoyed retinol benefits with a plant-based formula.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ddb37ae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ddb37ae\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8cbc14e\" data-id=\"8cbc14e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01ea9e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01ea9e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/endota.com\/nz\/product\/all-products\/category\/face\/phyto-renewal-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Phyto-Renewal Oil<\/span><\/a> contains 2% Bakuchiol as well as a selection of other natural retinol ingredients and naturally derived botanicals to give your skin the nurturing it needs without the irritation.
