Retinol Alternative Facial Oils

Anokha's Bakuchiol & Pomegranate Facial Oil is Gentle & Botanical

The Anokha Bakuchiol & Pomegranate Facial Oil is a luxurious skincare product that supports sensitive, dry and mature skin with clean, vegan ingredients. The physician-formulated product features a natural alternative to retinol, bakuchiol, plus a whole host of other botanical ingredients like cucumber, cranberry, pomegranate and kukui nut oils, plus sea buckthorn seed and rosehip seed oils. Thanks to some of its more richly pigmented ingredients, the luxe facial oil has a distinctive color.

This antioxidant-packed formula is ideal for soothing dry, irritated skin and it works to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and supports a more even skin tone.

Bakuchiol has emerged as a plant-based retinol alternative that has the potential to suit even those with sensitive skin, and it meets the demand for vegan and cruelty-free skincare products in a way some over-the-counter retinol products simply cannot.
