L’Essenza Triestina Repair Bundle Benefits

Bakuchiol, niacinamide (vitamin B3), and retinoid-supporting actives work in tandem to visibly refine texture, smooth the look of fine lines, and improve overall tone with consistent use. Niacinamide helps reduce the look of uneven tone and visible pores while supporting a clearer-looking complexion, complementing bakuchiol’s smoothing effect and the night-step renewal support from retinyl palmitate.

A moisture-and-lipid strategy built on humectants (including hyaluronic acid and a multi-humectant system), sea kelp bioferment, squalane, ceramides, and omega-rich plant oils helps keep skin moisturized, supple, and less prone to post-treatment dryness. Antioxidant support from vitamin E, olive leaf, buriti, tea seed, and marine components helps maintain brightness and a more balanced-looking surface, while soothing agents support calmer-looking skin across a wide range of skin types.

F.A.Q.

What is Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is is an isolated, oil-soluble meroterpene phenol extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) plant.

Bakuchiol functions in cosmetic products as:

  • Antioxidant
  • Skin conditioning agent
  • Anti-aging agent
  • Appearance-enhancing active
  • Anti-inflammatory supportive ingredient

It is particularly effective in stimulating collagen production, thereby improving skin elasticity and reducing signs of aging. It is widely studied for improving the visible signs of photoaging and supporting skin firmness.

What are the benefits of applying Bakuchiol?

The benefits of bakuchiol include its ability to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and enhance skin firmness. Its antioxidant capacity also helps protect skin from oxidative stress, while its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe and calm irritated skin.

  • Improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhanced skin tone uniformit
  • Increased appearance of firmness
  • Reduction in visible photodamage
  • Suitable for individuals who do not tolerate retinoids

Clinical studies comparing bakuchiol to retinol have demonstrated comparable improvements in visible signs of aging, with lower reports of irritation.

Is this safe to apply during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Bakuchiol is not like retinoids, and because it is not related to vitamin A that it might be considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. However because there isn't significant data that we could find, we recommend consulting your doctor before applying any product containing Bakuchiol.

Can I apply this serum during the day?

Yes. Bakuchiol is not phototoxic.

Why is your Bakuchiol Serum yellow/gold and not purple?

Bakuchiol (Sytenol® A), the real single molecule ingredient from the only manufacturer Sytheon, is a sticky and dense golden/brown oil soluble ingredient. Products formulated with this ingredient are never white, purple or pink.

How long until I see results?

Applied twice-daily as directed, results would appear visible within the first week of use.

What’s the point of proposing a gentler version of retinol ...

Q. What’s the point of proposing a gentler version of retinol and then essential oils such as bergamot oil which is known to cause allergic reactions and it’s also known to cause photosensitivity? With all due respect, what’s the point of using essential oils in a formula which is supposed to be gentle?

In an ideal world all ingredients used in cosmetics would smell divine on their own. In reality unfortunately, some have quite unpleasant natural scents, the reason why we add essential oils to many of our products.

We adhere to IFRA guidelines when it comes essential oils, and formulate well below recommended safety thresholds to minimize any potential irritation and sensitivity.

Bakuchiol Smoothing Serum contains below recommended levels of Bergamot FCF essential oil, which is free of furocoumarins — the compounds responsible for photosensitivity and phototoxicity. Alongside its companion essential oils equally bellow recommended levels, they provide a delicate and pleasant scent that’s not sensitizing.

Is Bakuchiol the same as Retinol?

No, Bakuchiol is not Retinol. Bakuchiol is a completely unique active ingredient that provides the same results Retinol is known for, but with the added benefit that can be used during the day, as it's not photo-toxic.
