# Dhaliwal 2019 — topical bakuchiol and retinol for facial photoageing

## Why it matters

This PubMed record verifies the head-to-head bakuchiol and retinol study used for the page's comparison. It supports careful wording that bakuchiol showed visible photoaging improvement in a small 12-week study and had fewer irritation reports than retinol, without claiming universal equivalence.
