Excellent (very beneficial ingredients, proven research)
Good (mostly beneficial ingredients, not extensive research available or just not quite outstanding properties)
OK (mostly
thickeners, emulsifiers, mild preservatives, pH adjusters, all that is
necessary formulation wise, but not a skincare per se)
Bad (anything that shouldn't be in skincare, irritants and fragrance)
Discussion:
Second, there is nothing exceptional in here to expect this product can reduce wrinkles for example. It seems there was a study comparing bakuchiol with retinol containing product, but I would say it was not conclusive enough to prefer this ingredient over well formulated retinol treatment. However bakuchiol does have some antioxidant properties.
Third, there are way too many irritating plant extracts and fragrance components to be beneficial for anyone. Irritants are essentially aging agents (they have negative impact on skin collagen), so should always be avoided.
Verdict:
Not recommended. Overpriced for what it is.2 out of 5.
