Frequently asked questions

Have a question? Here are the answers our customers ask most,

Clinical research shows bakuchiol can deliver comparable results to retinol for wrinkle reduction and skin texture improvement — without the irritation, peeling, or sun sensitivity. Asterwood's Bakuchiol Smoothing Serum works to deliver healthy cell turnover, collagen production, and even tone. It's not identical to retinol in mechanism, but for people who can't tolerate retinoids, it's the most effective plant-based alternative available.
Yes — that's one of bakuchiol's biggest advantages over retinol. Asterwood's formula is gentle and photostable, meaning it's safe for daytime use without added sun sensitivity or irritation. You can use it both morning and evening. Always wear sunscreen during the day regardless of your skincare routine.
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient and is widely considered a pregnancy-safe alternative to retinoids, which are not recommended during pregnancy. That said, Asterwood always recommends confirming with your healthcare provider before introducing any new active skincare ingredient during pregnancy or nursing.
Bakuchiol is especially well-suited for sensitive, dry, and reactive skin — anyone who has experienced redness or peeling from retinol. Asterwood's formula contains only 10 ingredients and is free of fragrances and essential oils. It's also a good choice for skincare beginners who want anti-aging benefits without the learning curve of retinol.
