Possibly one of the most powerful anti-aging active ingredients of the moment, retinol is especially popular, whether in cosmetics or on social media. It is widely recommended today for a variety of reasons, from anti-aging to acne and other imperfections. However, retinol can be hard on sensitive skin (redness, irritation, tightness and feelings of dryness), and it is also not recommended for pregnant women in summer, to avoid the appearance of pigment spots, or in continuous use because it is too powerful.
This is why alternatives, natural and better tolerated by all skin types, are now being highlighted. These active ingredients, which are dubbed “retinol-like” or “vegetable-retinol”, are therefore better absorbed by the epidermis and seem to present only advantages. Among these, we highlight four alternatives.
Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is an extract of a medicinal plant which considerably stimulates the production of collagen and fights against skin aging.
Cacay oil
A well-kept secret from the Amazon, this oil is harvested by hand only between late spring and summer, and is a concentrate of vitamins A and E, which strengthens the radiance of the skin and improves its appearance while smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
Wild rose oil
Especially effective against free radicals, this vegetable oil, rich in vitamins C and E, prevents the premature appearance of wrinkles at the same time as it boosts the luminosity of the face.
Rambutan
A tropical fruit found in Asia, rambutan is not just known for its resemblance to lychee, its is also becoming a popular ingredient in cosmetics for its numerous skin benefits. Rich in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants, it keeps skin elasticity, in addition to stimulation collagen.
