5. Bakuchiol Extract Benefits
- Bakuchiol Extract Anti-aging Benefits
Bakuchiol extract can accelerate the renewal of the skin epidermis, making the epidermis thicker and more orderly. On the other hand, it can also direct the dermis to accelerate the production of collagen, and inhibit the destruction of collagen by metal matrix protease. Bakuchiol extract is close to the effect of retinol, but is more stable and less irritating than it.
- Bakuchiol Extract Anti-acne and Anti-bacterial Benefits
Bakuchiol extract has an effect similar to estrogen. It can inhibit the production of 5-α-reductase, thereby inhibiting sebum secretion and controlling skin oil. Bakuchiol extract is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is stronger than vitamin E, so it can effectively protect sebum from being peroxidized, thereby preventing the hyperkeratosis of hair follicles. In terms of antibacterial, bakuchiol extract is effective against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and bacteria on the skin surface. It has good inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans.
