If you’ve ever tried retinol and felt like your skin just couldn’t handle it—same! No matter how many times I gave it a shot, my skin would always react, and I’d end up tossing the bottle in frustration.
Honestly? I didn’t even have much of a skincare routine until Monat launched its skincare line in 2019.
Yep, I was 36 years old with zero skincare habits. But once Monat released its products, I decided to dive in. I started with the entire line, and while we didn’t have Bakuchiol yet, I was using the Rewind Age Control Nectar every night. It brightened my skin, faded my sunspots, and gave me results I was happy with.
Then came Monat’s Bakuchiol launch, and let me tell you—I wish I had taken before photos because the difference has been mind-blowing! I truly feel like I’m aging backwards, and while my skin isn’t perfect, I’ve learned to trust the process with high-quality skincare.
So, if you’ve been curious about this magic in a bottle, here’s everything you need to know!
What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a vegan, plant-based alternative to retinol. No, it’s not retinol, but Monat has found powerful, naturally derived ingredients that deliver retinol-like results—without the harsh side effects. Pretty cool, right?!
Often called “nature’s retinol”, Bakuchiol provides all the anti-aging benefits of traditional retinol, but without causing irritation, dryness, or sensitivity. That makes it perfect for all skin types, even those of us with super sensitive skin.
For best results, apply Bakuchiol after your Monat serum as part of your nighttime skincare routine.
What Does Bakuchiol Do?
✔ Evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots.
✔ Smooths skin texture for a radiant glow.
✔ Targets fine lines & wrinkles, promoting a youthful look.
✔ Provides 24-hour hydration to keep skin soft and supple.
✔ Gentle enough for sensitive skin—no redness or peeling!
The best part? Monat’s Bakuchiol is a clean, non-toxic formula. I love knowing that my serums, lash serum, and even my retinol alternative are safe and free from harmful ingredients.
