With the launch of the Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Serum, Miranda Kerr's KORA Organics brand is introducing the first certified organic retinol alternative. This skincare product takes the form of a milky dual-action serum and it boasts five times the active power of retinol thanks to the inclusion of a 5% active retinol alternative blend of bakuchiol and alfalfa extract. Other key ingredients include noni fruit, acai stem cells and rosehip oil, which provide nourishment day and night. Unlike many retinol products that should only be used at night, this one is suitable for morning and evening.
This powerful yet gentle blend of antioxidant-packed botanicals contributes to skin that's firmer, plumper, repaired and restored with fewer visible fine lines and wrinkles.
Consumers are increasingly seeking retinol alternatives in skincare products due to concerns over potential irritation and sensitivity. This has led to a surge in the development of alternative ingredients such as bakuchiol, which offer similar benefits without the potential drawbacks of retinol.
