I got both serums the bakuchioil from some korean brand and retinol as well, I found retinol making my face a little dryer if I apply non-stop

During day-time Vitamin c serum, then at night use one of the 2

and bakuchioil makes my face kind of sticky but then it makes the face/skin really soft, but I just wanna stick to using one of them for now

What's the best one ? :unsure:

Also if anyone can recommend any peptides or retinoids good for skin/collagen i'd appreciate it

Bakuchiol is non retinoid and has minimal effect on gene expression and collgen synthesis pathways.
Retinol is better but for treating acne anything less potent that tretinoin doesn't work

Make sure to mark this post as solution, it's the check mark on my right

Nothing beats retinoids, tret or cabtreo will always be a better alternative long term
