RANAVAT - Brightening Retinol Eye Creme - Retinol eye cream (RADIANT RANI collection)

Bakuchiol is a plant-based active ingredient derived from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, also known as babchi or psoralea seeds. Although retinol and bakuchiol are completely different substances, bakuchiol is often referred to as "plant retinol" because of its similar benefits for the skin. Like retinol, bakuchiol is said to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote collagen production, but without the potential irritation that some people may experience when using retinol.

In addition to its retinol-like effect, Bakuchiol has antioxidant and

anti-inflammatory properties.

Niacinamide:
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, is particularly powerful in strengthening the skin barrier. By promoting the production of ceramides and free fatty acids, it contributes to maintaining a healthy skin barrier, which in turn supports moisture retention and protects the skin from external aggressors.

Niacinamide also acts as an effective moisturizer and has the ability to inhibit melanin transfer. This makes it an effective option for reducing hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots and age spots.

Niacinamide also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin or skin conditions like rosacea. At the same time, it regulates sebum production, which can improve skin texture and reduce shine in oily skin.

As an antioxidant, niacinamide protects the skin from damaging free radicals that can be caused by environmental stress. Furthermore, niacinamide is generally well-tolerated and can be combined with many other skincare ingredients. Accordingly, niacinamide is an extremely popular and now well-known ingredient in skincare products for a variety of needs.
