Retinol Alternative (Bakuchiol, HPR, etc)

Retinoid-style results, minus the retinol. This edit gathers the gentler alternatives — plant-based bakuchiol and encapsulated retinoid esters like HPR — loved for a smoother, firmer-looking finish and the look of softer fine lines, without the usual retinol sting. A kinder way in for sensitive or retinol-shy skin.
