Everything You Know About Bakuchiol

Side Effects

Yes, you're right. Bakuchiol's got a few side effects. The good news, though? There are fewer side effects when you're using it on your skin! Men, you've still got to keep your guard up for side effects like skin redness, peeling, swelling, and dryness. Thankfully, you know you're not going to see any of them nearly as much as you would with retinol. No, not nearly as much! They're also not as bad as the retinol ones when they do appear. Win. Obviously, though, you've got to tell your doc if any side effects get really, really bad or if mild ones don't go away. And men? Only use this where you have to and for how long you need to. You'll avoid side effects this way!
