Product description: Our all-in-one skin perfecting retinol cream is formulated with a photostable blend of encapsulated retinol, a natural bio-retinol and bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative that helps nourish skin, while improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles, plus uneven tone and texture.
Evidence by claim
- Smooths wrinklesModerate evidence
- Retinol
- Bakuchiol
Randomized trials involving 69 participants measured changes in skin texture and appearance after retinol application. While these studies observed shifts in skin markers and visible surface lines, some testing conditions differed from typical daily use. Because these findings rely on specific lab settings, the evidence supporting these visible changes 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.

- Bakuchiol
Evidence for this ingredient is very limited. Current research relies on observational case series rather than randomized clinical trials. Furthermore, some studies focused on gene expression markers in a lab setting rather than measuring visible changes in skin appearance on human participants.
