ARCHITECT
Architect is an intensive serum for all types of skin with triple efficacy, designed for skins prone to imperfections with visible damage by UV rays (such as hyper-pigmentation), and also treats premature aging. Its soft, light and non-fat texture, with neutral and easily absorbed aroma leaves the skin with a silky sensation.
The 1 per cent of Bakuchiol is the main active component of the Serum Architect. This is a compound derived from the Psoralea Corylifolia plant, which is clinically proven to function as a functional analog of the Retinol, but without the side effects commonly associated with retinoids (decamation, dryness, redness, etc.).
BAKUCHIOL VS RETINOIDES
Them Retinoides are wonderful anti-aging and anti-acne ingredients. However, due to its irritation, sensitive skin is generally not the best candidate for regular and long-term use. Speaking of Retinol, the Bakuchiol It is much less irritating, does not sensitize the skin to the sun and has a higher safety profile (can be used in pregnant and nursing women). Because it is less irritating, the Bakuchiol can be perfectly combined with other powerful assets (such as Hydroxy acids, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, etc.) as they have a wonderful synergistic effect on the skin. However, Retinoids are often too sensitizing to mix with other active compounds.
