Andalou Naturals Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Cream

Overview

Andalou Naturals' cream moisturizer is built around bakuchiol, an ingredient often used as a gentler alternative to retinol, in a 1.7 fluid ounce jar with an apricot scent. It targets dryness, uneven skin tone and wrinkles.

Bakuchiol has become a common substitute for retinol in formulas aimed at people who find retinoids irritating, and Andalou builds this moisturizer around it along with vegan, paraben free and GMO free claims.

• Built around bakuchiol as the key active
• 1.7 fluid ounce cream
• Vegan, cruelty free, made in the United States
• Free of GMOs, gluten and parabens

Who it's for

Suits anyone wanting a plant based, cruelty free moisturizer to address dryness, wrinkles and uneven tone without retinol. Less suited to people who prefer unscented products, since this one carries an apricot scent.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Bakuchiol is included as the active meant to address wrinkles and uneven tone, working as a gentler alternative to retinoid ingredients for people prone to irritation. The cream format and apricot scent are geared toward daily use rather than a targeted spot treatment.
