Squalane: Sebum Lipid Occlusive Protection

Squalane: Sebum Lipid Occlusive Protection

Squalane protects skin from UV exposure and other oxidative stressors. It also acts to retain moisture thereby preventing the appearance of dry, wrinkled skin.

Bakuchiol: A Gentler Alternative to Retinoids

Bakuchiol: A Gentler Alternative to Retinoids

Bakuchiol and Retinol both significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, with no statistical difference between the compounds however the Retinol users reported more facial skin scaling and stinging
