Why carry out this study?

• Skin aging is a complex process that causes aesthetic changes in skin and has a significant emotional impact on those affected.

• Current retinoid-based treatments are compromised by the time required to see clinical improvements and by their side effects.

What was learned from the study?

• The natural retinol analogs, bakuchiol and Vigna aconitifolia extract potentiate the anti-photoaging effects of retinal without affecting its skin irritation profile.

• This leads to rapid improvement of the clinical signs of age and photodamage.

• This unique combination of ingredients is a highly effective and well-tolerated treatment for photoaging.
