![Bakuchiol stems from ayurvedic medicine. So it has been around for a very long time. Recently it has sky-rocketed to the top of everyone's awareness. A recent study in the British Journal of Dermatology compared bakuchiol to retinol[1]. 44 individuals used either a 0.5% bakuchiol or 0.5% retinol for 12 weeks. This was a double-blind study, so no participant or researcher knew which was which. At the end of the study, it was shown that bakuchiol and retinol both significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, with no statistical difference between the two compounds[1]. WOW, and that was only at a 1/2 percent. We have double that in this formulation. That's the Platinum Way.](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-ake4mh/product_images/uploaded_images/fx-golden.jpg "Bakuchiol stems from ayurvedic medicine. So it has been around for a very long time.

Is there a smell?
Oh yes. There is no way to hide the scent of essential oils. You can create a blend to smell good or you can create a blend that works! We have chosen the latter. Does this smell bad though? Absolutely not. It has a very "earthy" deep scent to it. You know you are applying pure oils to your skin when you use this. And only a few drops are necessary. So mix this in with your other serums and creams or apply alone. Your choice. We do find that the scent wears away after a few hours... and you do become "used" to it after awhile of using it. Some will LOVE it and others ... not so much. Look at the ingredients and their properties and decide what is most important.
Do you wear this at night or during the day?
It does not matter. You can use this 1x or 2x per day. Apply it alone or with other products. There are no contraindications here.
