Evidence by claim
- Smooths wrinklesModerate evidence
- Bakuchiol
Randomized trials involving 44 participants compared this ingredient to retinol, measuring changes in facial texture and lines. While these studies observed similar outcomes between the two, other research relies on gene expression markers rather than direct observation of skin. Because some evidence focuses on lab markers instead of visible changes, the current data is considered moderate.
- Evens toneVery limited evidence
- Bakuchiol
Current evidence for this ingredient is very limited. Existing research relies on small case series rather than large, randomized trials, and some studies focused on lab markers rather than visible changes in skin tone. Because these studies did not test the ingredient in everyday products, it remains unclear how it impacts the appearance of dark patches in real-world use.
