Bakuchiol booster serum as a plant-based alternative to retinol
Retinol is considered the gold standard for skin renewal and anti-aging, but its use comes with limitations for many people: sensitivity to sunlight, peeling, redness, and strict restriction to evening use. For those who know these drawbacks but want the results, Bakuchiol offers a scientifically supported alternative.
The Intraceuticals Bakuchiol Booster is formulated with Bakuchiol from the seeds of the Psoralea Corylifolia plant — an ingredient used for centuries in traditional medicine and now proven valuable in modern clinical research. A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology in 2019 showed that Bakuchiol delivers similar results to retinol in terms of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, without the increased light sensitivity that retinol causes. The formula is completely plant-based, vegan, and free from parabens, sulfates, and mineral oils.
Benefits
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, comparable to retinol but without the side effects
- Stimulates collagen production for increased firmness and elasticity
- Evens skin texture and tone for a more refined and radiant surface
- Photo-stable — suitable for both morning and evening use without increased sun sensitivity
- Soothes blemishes, redness, and inflammatory reactions thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties
Active ingredients
Bakuchiol: A plant-based active ingredient derived from the seeds of Psoralea Corylifolia, which stimulates the skin through similar cell renewal and collagen-boosting mechanisms as retinol. The difference: Bakuchiol does not increase sensitivity to UV radiation, has a strong antioxidant profile, and is well tolerated by sensitive skin types. Clinically supported by research published in the British Journal of Dermatology.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Hyaluronic acid in the low-molecular-weight sodium salt form penetrates deeply into the skin to retain moisture, fill fine lines from within, and enhance the absorption of active ingredients. Combined with Bakuchiol, it supports a visibly nourished and smoother skin surface.
Glycerin: Strengthens the skin barrier and maintains moisture balance, so the skin remains comfortable and supple even with intensive use of active ingredients.
Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer: Provides the light, fast-absorbing texture of the formula and helps distribute the active ingredients evenly over the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bakuchiol as effective as retinol?
Clinical research, including a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology in 2019, shows that Bakuchiol delivers similar results in terms of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. The big advantage is that Bakuchiol does not make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and is better tolerated by sensitive skin types.
Can I use the Bakuchiol Booster during the day?
Yes. Bakuchiol is photostable, which means it does not break down when exposed to light and does not increase sensitivity to UV radiation. Therefore, the booster is suitable for both morning and evening use — an important difference from the Vitamin A Booster.
Can I combine the Bakuchiol Booster with the Vitamin A Booster?
Yes, and this is even a recommended combination. Research shows that Bakuchiol supports the action of retinol and can reduce its possible side effects. Intraceuticals recommends using the Bakuchiol Booster during the day and the Vitamin A Booster only in the evening.
