SENSITIVE SAVIOUR. Looking for a vitamin A alternative for your super-sensitive skin? We know that using vitamin A can sometimes be more challenging for those blessed with sensitive skin. Lucky for you, there’s a new kid on the block that offers vitamin A-like results, without any of the potential irritation…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PLANT-DERIVED RETINOL⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bakuchiol is a natural extract from the Indian Babchi plant. A recent clinical study published by the British Journal of Dermatology found that 0.5% bakuchiol serum used twice a day produced results very similar to 0.5% retinol used once a day, but without any of the vitamin A-induced irritation.* In fact, 0.5% clinical strength bakuchiol is the star ingredient in Medik8 Calmwise Colour Correct, a perfect mineral green tinted moisturiser for sensitised skin.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WOMEN’S HEALTH⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A recent feature in Women’s Health reminded us just why Calmwise Colour Correct is a staple in any sensitive skin make-up bag…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Bakuchiol is the main player in this complexion corrector, but it’s the mineral’s green pigments that make it worthy of a spot in your make-up bag. They glide beautifully over skin to blur redness and veins into convincing oblivion, while aloe vera soothes inflamed patches, keeping sensitivity at bay.” @womenshealthuk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So sensitive skins rejoice – you no longer have to go without the incredible effects of vitamin A. Try incorporating bakuchiol into your skincare routine for anti-ageing results without any irritation. It’s also an incredible option for pregnant ladies who cannot use vitamin A. Have you tried bakuchiol yet?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
