Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is a natural alternative to retinoids. Unlike retinoids, bakuchiol does not result in undesirable and irritating side effects. Much like retinoids, however, bakuchiol triggers the expression of genes involved in the production of the extracellular matrix of the skin. Hence, bakuchiol boosts the production of collagen which helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Calendula
Calendula extract is a naturally occuring antioxidant. It protects the skin from stresses by neutralizing free radicals. Calendula extract has high concentrations of fatty acids which are abundant in the skin (e.g. linoleic acid). By supplementing the body with these fatty acids, calendula extract keeps the skin hydrated and helps stimulate collagen production.
Rosehip Seed Oil
The main bioactive constituents of rosehip extract are vitamin A, C, and E. This extract packs a powerful punch, it has been known to lighten dark spots, and support the skin’s lipid barrier.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most Bakuchiol serums on the market are formulated at 1%. Skin Hero contains 2% Bakuchiol because we have paired it with the calming and soothing ingredient, Calendula. Together this creates a perfect pairing so you can get maximum results, without the irritation.
-
Yes, Skin Hero can be used with Vitamin C, including our Dew Drops Serum. Layering active ingredients can potentially increase skin sensitivity, so it’s always best to introduce slowly into your routine, and/or alternate usage (I.e., Use Dew Drops in the morning, and Skin Hero at night).
-
Skin Hero is safe for sensitive skin. “Retinol type” products can and have been used to treat those with rosacea, since retinol assists the skin in generating more collagen. However, we would highly recommend that you first do a patch test before use, and incorporate into your skin routine slowly (1-2x/week for the first week and increase as desired). “Retinol type” products should generally be avoided for those with eczema as they can trigger flare ups and/or reactions.
-
Yes! However, layering active ingredients can potentially increase skin sensitivity, so it’s always best to introduce the new active ingredient slowly into your routine, and/or alternate usage.
-
The bio-retinol in Skin Hero comes from Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. Bakuchiol delivers the same skin-improving results of retinol - without the irritation. Many studies have shown that Bakuchiol actually outperforms retinol in increasing collagen production and reducing skin inflammation.
