Does Bakuchiol help with red stretch marks?

Hi, I hope you are doing well šŸ§” Over the lasts months I gained weight and due to that I have a lot of new stretch marks šŸ„² I heard that Retinol can be used when your stretch marks are still red to help improve their appearance/look. However, I have never used Retinol and Iā€™m still scare to use it, also I have never used Bakuchiol as well, but Iā€™ve heard that it is a great alternative for Retinol. So Iā€™m wondering if using Bakuchiol will still be an option for improving the overall look of stretch marks?

Go with the retinol because body skin is not as sensitive as the face, so don't worry too much about a bad reaction. Start slowly just to be sure but you should be able to increase the amount and frequency quickly. I used my 0.2% retinol serum mixed with cream on my body, and there was no bad reaction.

Bakuchiol is still a relatively new ingredient and thus do not have enough research and evidence to support claims that it is comparable to retinol. It might be soothing and may help with moisturising your skin, but for stretch marks and scars, there's really no guarantee. Retinol body lotions/creams are gentle and not as irritating as retinol serums or prescription tretinoin so you can consider those instead. Tagged some below

Hi, thank you for sharing! šŸ§” Thatā€™s why I couldnā€™t find any information! I am actually pretty new to skincare šŸ˜… I didnā€™t know it was a relatively new ingredient, actually have never heard of Bakuchiol until a skincare page mentioned it, saying that it is a great alternative for Retinol šŸ˜• Someone else mentioned that mentioning it as an alternative product is a marketing tactic šŸ˜ Thank you for your recommendations, Iā€™m still deciding if I should try it or the Bio-oil that it is mentioned in several comments. Hopefully I can get one soon šŸ˜Š

Instead of bakuchiol I would go for Centella since Centella has great properties to treat stretch marks and bakuchiol has way less research

I have some old white stretch marks on my hips, but those donā€™t bother me since they arenā€™t really visible. But these red new ones appeared on my calf, at the start they didnā€™t really bother me, but recently they have Specially since everyone keep pointing them out :( I have never heard of dry brushing or cupping šŸ˜…
