Ditch the retinol.

Retinol/vitamin A and its derivatives are active cosmetic ingredients commonly used in anti-aging skin care, but they have links to health concerns. In addition, in order to be effective, retinol and its derivatives must convert into the active ingredient retinoic acid. Studies show that retinoic acid can have harmful side effects, including being a skin irritant and making the skin sensitive to the sun’s damaging rays.

Switch to a high-performing, safer alternative.

Beautycounter's plant-derived Retinatural Complex combines the powerful age-defying and reparative benefits of bakuchiol with antioxidant-rich Swiss alpine rose to reinforce the skin’s ability to protect itself from oxidative stress. Bakuchiol is a retinol alternative derived from the babchi plant. It mimics and sometimes exceeds the performance benefits of retinol.

Beautycounter's Countertime products are made with our innovative, plant-derived Retinatural Complex. Each product has additional key ingredients that help the formulas deliver specific results.

As Wayne Fields said in his nursery rhyme:

“The best six doctors anywhere
and no one can deny it,
are sunshine, water, rest,
and air, exercise, and diet.
These six will gladly you attend,

your mind they’ll ease,
your will they’ll mend,
and charge you not a shilling.”
