Bakuchiol（補骨脂酚）vs A醇｜溫和抗衰老點揀？

想抗衰老，但又驚 A醇太刺激？

A醇（Retinol）一直被視為抗衰老嘅「黃金成分」，但唔少人第一次使用就出現脫皮、泛紅、刺痛嘅情況，令好多敏感肌卻步。近年出現嘅 Bakuchiol（補骨脂酚），被稱為「天然版 A醇」，究竟佢係咪真係可以取代 A醇？

Retinol has long been considered the "gold standard" anti-aging ingredient, but many first-time users experience flaking, redness, and stinging — putting sensitive skin off the ingredient entirely. In recent years, Bakuchiol has emerged as a "natural alternative to retinol." But can it really replace it?

科學研究點講：Bakuchiol vs Retinol

一項刊登喺《British Journal of Dermatology》嘅隨機雙盲研究，比較咗 0.5% Bakuchiol 同 0.5% Retinol 喺改善皺紋同色斑方面嘅效果，結果顯示兩者喺改善光老化外觀方面表現相若，但 Retinol 組別報告較多脫皮同刺痛嘅情況，Bakuchiol 嘅耐受性明顯較好。研究亦指出 Bakuchiol 唔會令皮膚對光線更敏感，呢個係 Retinol 使用者需要特別留意嘅地方。

A randomized, double-blind study published in the British Journal of Dermatology compared 0.5% bakuchiol with 0.5% retinol for improving the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation. Both showed comparable improvements, but the retinol group reported more scaling and stinging, while bakuchiol was significantly better tolerated. The study also noted bakuchiol does not increase photosensitivity — a key consideration for retinol users.

Bakuchiol 適合邊類人使用？

因為耐受性較好，Bakuchiol 特別適合敏感肌、初次接觸抗衰老成分嘅人士，或者曾經因為使用 A醇而出現脫皮泛紅嘅肌膚。孕婦及哺乳期人士使用任何活性成分護膚品前，都建議先諮詢醫生意見。

Thanks to its better tolerability, bakuchiol is especially suitable for sensitive skin, those new to anti-aging actives, or anyone who has experienced flaking and redness from retinol. As always, anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before introducing any active skincare ingredient.

常見問題 FAQ

  • Q: Bakuchiol 可以同其他活性成分一齊用嗎？
    A: Bakuchiol 相對溫和，一般可以同大部分成分搭配，但初次使用建議單獨測試，觀察皮膚反應後再考慮疊加其他活性成分。
    Q: Can bakuchiol be layered with other actives? A: Bakuchiol is relatively gentle and generally compatible with most ingredients, but it's best to test it alone first before layering additional actives.
  • Q: Bakuchiol 需要慢慢建立耐受度嗎？
    A: 相比 Retinol，Bakuchiol 出現刺激反應嘅機會較低，但仍然建議由低頻率開始使用，逐步觀察皮膚適應情況。
    Q: Do I still need to build tolerance gradually? A: Compared to retinol, bakuchiol carries a lower risk of irritation, but it's still wise to start with less frequent use and gradually monitor how your skin adapts.
  • Q: 早晚都可以用 Bakuchiol 產品嗎？
    A: 因為 Bakuchiol 唔會增加皮膚對光線嘅敏感度，理論上早晚都可以使用，但仍然建議日間配合防曬一齊使用。
    Q: Can bakuchiol products be used both morning and night? A: Since bakuchiol doesn't increase photosensitivity, it can theoretically be used both day and night — though daytime use should always be paired with sunscreen.
