Cream Cleanser vs Oil Cleanser: Which is best for your skin?

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

Does Your Face Feel Tight, Dry, or Still Oily After You Wash It? You Might Be Using the Wrong Cleanser.

You wash your face every single day. So why does it still feel… wrong?

Maybe it’s that tight, squeaky feeling you get right after you rinse—the one you thought meant “clean,” but is quickly followed by dryness, irritation, or an oily rebound by lunchtime.

Or maybe it’s the opposite. You use a “gentle” cleanser, but your skin never feels truly clean. Your makeup isn’t fully gone, your pores feel congested, and you’re left with a film you just can’t seem to rinse away.

You’ve tried the foaming washes that strip your skin and the milky lotions that don’t seem to do anything. It’s a frustrating cycle, and you’re starting to wonder if your cleanser is actually part of the problem.

It probably is

The Great Cleanser Misconception (And Why Your Skin is Paying the Price)

For decades, we were taught that “squeaky clean” was the goal. But that feeling is actually the sound of your skin’s protective barrier being stripped away.

Your skin has a natural barrier made of oils (lipids) that locks in moisture and keeps irritants out. The culprits that damage it are often harsh chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), synthetic fragrances, and drying alcohols. They’re cheap, they foam a lot, and they give the illusion of clean, but in reality, they are waging a war on your skin.

A modern, natural approach is the opposite. It uses intelligent, plant-derived ingredients that respect your skin’s biology and work with it, not against it.

**So, Cream or Oil? Here’s How to Finally Choose the Right One for You.**

The choice is simple once you know what job you’re hiring your cleanser to do.

You Should Choose an Oil Cleanser If…

You wear makeup or sunscreen every day (especially waterproof).
Your skin is oily or acne-prone, and you struggle with blackheads and congestion.
Your skin feels “congested” and looks dull.
You want a deep, satisfying cleanse that feels like a spa treatment.

How it works: The principle is “like dissolves like.” A cleansing oil masterfully bonds with and dissolves oil-based impurities—including excess sebum, makeup, and sunscreen. It cleans inside your pores, not just on the surface. When you add water, it emulsifies into a light milk and rinses away completely, taking all the grime with it.

Our Facial Cleansing Oil is a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula powered by nutrient-rich botanicals like Grape Seed and Apricot Kernel Oil.

You Should Choose a Cream Cleanser If…

Your skin feels tight, red, or irritated after cleansing.
You have sensitive, mature, or naturally dry skin that needs gentle care.
You rarely wear heavy makeup and want a gentle, hydrating daily wash.
You love a soft, lotion-like texture.

How it works: A cream cleanser is a water-based emulsion that uses gentle, natural surfactants and nourishing oils to lift away light impurities while depositing hydration. It’s designed to cleanse while actively soothing and moisturising.

Our Natural Creamy Cleanser is a pH-balanced, sulfate-free formula that uses nourishing plant oils and the soothing essence of Lime and Mandarin to respect the most delicate skin. For men, or anyone who enjoys a refreshing, woody scent, our award-winning Men’s Hydrating Face Cleanser is another excellent creamy option that cleanses, soothes, and even doubles as a shave cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is “double cleansing” and do I need to do it? A: Double cleansing is a two-step process where you first use an oil cleanser to dissolve and melt away makeup, SPF, and sebum, and then follow up with a gentle cream cleanser to wash the skin itself. It’s not necessary for everyone, but it’s a fantastic method for those who wear heavy makeup or have very congested skin.

Q: Will an oil cleanser make my oily skin even oilier? A: No, it’s a common myth! A well-formulated oil cleanser actually helps to balance your skin. It dissolves the excess “bad” oil clogging your pores without stripping your skin’s natural moisture. This prevents your skin from panicking and producing even more oil to compensate.

Q: Do I need to cleanse in the morning? A: Yes, a gentle cleanse in the morning is a great idea. It removes any sweat and skincare from the night before, creating a fresh canvas for your daytime products. A gentle cream cleanser is often the perfect choice for a soft, hydrating morning cleanse.

The Bottom Line: Listen to Your Skin

Choosing the right cleanser is a game-changer. It’s the difference between fighting your skin with harsh chemicals and partnering with it using intelligent, natural ingredients.

Whether it’s the deep-dissolving power of an oil or the gentle, hydrating touch of a cream, the right choice will leave your skin feeling balanced, comfortable, and truly clean.

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

Glow Up with Scenturie’s Revitalising Face Oil: Your Key to Radiant Skin

Are you ready to experience the transformative power of a natural face oil? Scenturie’s Revitalising Face Oil is a luxurious blend of plant-based oils meticulously chosen to nourish, hydrate, and revitalise your skin, leaving you with a radiant and healthy complexion.

Why Incorporate a Face Oil into Your Skincare Routine?

Face oils are often misunderstood, especially by those with oily skin. But in reality, they can benefit all skin types. These potent elixirs deliver a concentrated dose of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that work wonders for your skin. Here’s how:

Deep Hydration and Moisture Lock: Face oils mimic the skin’s natural lipids, helping to replenish and strengthen its protective barrier. This locks in moisture, preventing dryness and dehydration, and leaving your skin feeling supple and plump.
Visible Reduction in Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The rich antioxidants and vitamins in face oils, like Vitamin A (found in Rosehip Oil) and Vitamin E (found in Avocado Oil), boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity. This helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful appearance.
Soothing Relief for Inflammation and Redness: Many face oils possess anti-inflammatory properties that calm and soothe irritated skin. This makes them ideal for those with sensitive skin, rosacea, or acne-prone skin.
Powerful Protection Against Environmental Stressors: Face oils are rich in antioxidants, which act as a shield against free radical damage caused by pollution, UV rays, and other environmental stressors. This protection helps to prevent premature aging and maintain healthy skin.

Scenturie’s Revitalising Face Oil: A Symphony of Nature’s Finest

Our Revitalising Face Oil is expertly formulated with a harmonious blend of premium plant oils, each chosen for its unique skin-loving properties. Here are some of the oils that feature:

Pomegranate Seed Oil: Pomegranate seed oil is rich in antioxidants and promotes collagen production for healthy, radiant skin. It can help heal blemishes, reduce scars, and soothe skin conditions like eczema.
Rosehip Oil: A true skin savior, Rosehip Oil is abundant in vitamins A and C. It helps to brighten the complexion, fade scars and hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
Cacay oil: Extremely rich in vitamins A and E, and retinol, cacay oil has been touted a “miracle” oil. Extremely rich in vitamins A and E, and retinol. It absorbs easily, helps reduce wrinkles, and promotes healthy skin cell renewal.
NZ Avocado Oil: This deeply nourishing oil is a rich source of vitamins A, D, and E, along with essential fatty acids. It softens and conditions the skin, improving its texture and elasticity.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: Bursting with antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, and omega fatty acids, Sea Buckthorn Oil helps protect the skin from environmental damage, promotes healing, and reduces redness and inflammation.
Argan Oil: Rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and omega 6, it has been used for centuries by the women of Morocco as part of their daily skin and hair care routines. Argan oil has demonstrated anti-ageing effects on the skin through measurable improvements in skin elasticity when applied daily.
Jojoba seed oil: Non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and similar in composition to human sebum makes jojoba oil very well-tolerated by most skin types. It is very nourishing and protective and penetrates the skin easily helping to reduce water loss through the skin by forming a protective film for optimal hydration and balance.

Unlocking the Versatility of Scenturie’s Revitalising Face Oil

This multi-tasking face oil seamlessly integrates into your skincare routine in various ways:

Direct Application: Gently massage a few drops onto cleansed skin morning and night to deliver intense hydration and nourishment.
Boost Your Moisturiser: Enhance the hydrating power of your moisturiser by adding a drop or two of Revitalising Face Oil. This creates a richer, more nourishing experience.

Vegan Skincare: A Few Good Reasons To Make the Switch This Year

Skincare / Scenturie

What is Vegan Skincare?

Vegan skincare products are formulated without any animal-derived ingredients or byproducts. This means no beeswax, honey, lanolin, collagen, or other animal-sourced components. It’s important to note that terms like “cruelty-free” or “natural” don’t necessarily guarantee a product is vegan, so always check the ingredient list carefully.

4 Reasons to Embrace Vegan Skincare

Healthier Skin

Plant-based skincare is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that nourish and protect your skin. These natural ingredients are often gentler and less likely to cause irritation compared to synthetic alternatives.

1.Nutrient-Rich Ingredients: Vegan skincare relies on plant-powered ingredients packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. These nutrients can help:

Hydrate and moisturise: Ingredients like hyaluronic acid (from plant sources), aloe vera, and plant oils like jojoba and argan oil deeply hydrate the skin.
Soothe and calm: Chamomile, calendula, and green tea extracts have anti-inflammatory properties to soothe sensitive or irritated skin.
Protect against environmental damage: Antioxidants like vitamin C (found in citrus fruits and berries), vitamin E (found in nuts and seeds), and green tea protect against free radical damage caused by pollution and UV rays.
Promote collagen production: Ingredients like vitamin C and retinol alternatives (like bakuchiol, found in the babchi plant) can help boost collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

2. Gentle Formulations: Vegan skincare tends to avoid harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and artificial dyes that can irritate sensitive skin. This makes it a great option for people with eczema, rosacea, or allergies.

Improved Overall Wellness

Your skin absorbs what you put on it. Vegan skincare often avoids harsh chemicals and potential toxins, promoting both skin health and overall well-being.

Reduced Exposure to Toxins: Many conventional skincare products contain potentially harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates, which have been linked to hormone disruption and other health issues. Vegan skincare often avoids these ingredients, reducing your exposure to potential toxins.
Holistic Approach: Vegan skincare often aligns with a more holistic approach to health and wellness, focusing on natural ingredients and self-care rituals that promote both inner and outer well-being.

Environmental Protection

Reduced Carbon Footprint: Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. Choosing vegan skincare helps lessen the demand for animal products, reducing your environmental impact.
Sustainable Sourcing: Many vegan skincare brands prioritise sustainable sourcing practices, such as using organic ingredients, supporting fair trade, and minimizing packaging waste. This helps protect ecosystems and promote biodiversity.

Compassion for Animals

Vegan skincare is truly cruelty-free, ensuring that no animals are harmed or exploited in the production of your beauty products. Many common skincare ingredients, like beeswax and squalane, can be sourced from animals, so choosing vegan ensures a compassionate choice.

Truly Cruelty-Free: Vegan skincare guarantees that no animals were harmed or exploited in the making of your products. This includes avoiding animal testing and the use of any animal-derived ingredients.
Protecting Endangered Species: Some skincare ingredients, like squalane (derived from shark liver oil), can threaten endangered species. Vegan skincare avoids these ingredients, helping to protect wildlife.

Making the Switch to Vegan Skincare

Transitioning to a vegan skincare routine doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start by incorporating a few vegan products into your routine and gradually replace your non-vegan items as you run out.

Read Labels Carefully: Look for the “Vegan” label or certification from organizations like Vegan Action or PETA. Familiarise yourself with common animal-derived ingredients to avoid.
Start with One Product: Begin by replacing one non-vegan product with a vegan alternative. Gradually transition your routine as you discover new favourites.
Explore Vegan Brands: Many brands specialise in vegan skincare. Look for brands that align with your values and offer products that meet your skin’s needs.
Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment: Trying new products and ingredients is part of the fun! There are many innovative and effective vegan skincare options available.
Support Ethical Companies: Choose brands that are transparent about their ingredients and sourcing practices, and that actively support animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Scenturie: Your Destination for Vegan Skincare

At Scenturie, we’re passionate about creating natural skincare products that are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We use only the highest quality plant-based ingredients to formulate effective and gentle skincare for all skin types. Our products are crafted in small batches with intention, ensuring that you receive the best nature has to offer.

The Importance of pH in Skincare

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

Understanding Skin pH: Why It Matters and How to Maintain Balance

The pH level of your skin plays a crucial role in its overall health and appearance. It influences everything from dryness and sensitivity to breakouts and premature aging. Let’s dive into what pH is, why it matters for your skin, and how to maintain a healthy balance.

What is pH?

pH stands for “potential of hydrogen.” It’s a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a water-based solution, indicated on a scale of 0 to 14.

Acidic: pH less than 7 (e.g., lemon juice)
Neutral: pH of 7 (e.g., pure water)
Alkaline: pH greater than 7 (e.g., baking soda).

Your Skin’s Acid Mantle

Your skin has a thin, protective layer on its surface called the acid mantle. This layer is naturally acidic, with an average pH of 4.7. This acidity is crucial for:

Protection: The acid mantle acts as a barrier against bacteria, viruses, and other environmental aggressors.
Microbiome Balance: A slightly acidic environment supports the growth of beneficial bacteria and helps keep harmful microbes in check.
Moisture Retention: The acid mantle helps your skin retain moisture and stay hydrated.
Enzyme Activity: Skin enzymes that repair and renew skin cells function optimally at a slightly acidic pH.

How pH Affects Your Skin

When your skin’s pH balance is disrupted, it can lead to various skin problems:

Dryness and Tightness: An alkaline pH can disrupt the skin’s barrier function, leading to dryness, tightness, and flakiness.
Sensitivity and Irritation: Skin becomes more prone to irritation, redness, and reactions to products or environmental factors.
Breakouts: An imbalance in pH can trigger inflammation and increase the likelihood of acne breakouts.
Premature Ageing: A disrupted acid mantle can accelerate the signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Maintaining a Healthy Skin pH

To keep your skin healthy and balanced, it’s important to maintain its natural acidity:

Choose pH-Balanced Skincare: Look for products formulated with a pH in the range of 4 to 5.5.
Avoid Harsh Cleansers: Harsh soaps and cleansers can strip the skin of its natural oils and disrupt the acid mantle. Opt for gentle, sulfate-free cleansers.
Be Mindful of Water Temperature: Hot water can dry out and irritate the skin. Use lukewarm water for cleansing.
Protect Your Skin from the Environment: Sun exposure, pollution, and harsh weather can all affect skin pH. Use sunscreen daily and consider antioxidant serums to protect against environmental damage.

Product Recommendations For pH Balanced Skin Care

At Scenturie, we understand the importance of maintaining your skin’s natural pH balance. That’s why all our skincare products are carefully formulated to be pH-balanced, helping to support your skin’s acid mantle and promote optimal skin health. Below is a selection of our best-selling products.

The Best Skincare Routine for Your Skin Type

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

Let’s Face It: Your Skin Matters

While it may not feel like a top priority now, investing in a good skincare routine tailored to your skin type pays off in the long run. Years from now, you’ll be thanking yourself for taking care of your skin. Healthy, glowing skin boosts your confidence and leaves a lasting impression.

Why a Consistent Skincare Routine is Key

Think of your skincare routine as a shield against the daily onslaught of environmental aggressors and lifestyle factors that can lead to premature ageing. Using the right products for your unique skin type helps nourish, protect, and keep your skin looking healthy and radiant, no matter your age.

Essential Steps for Healthy Skin

Dermatologists recommend a simple, consistent routine, morning and night, to keep your skin in top shape. Here are the key steps:

Cleanse: Wash away dirt, makeup, and impurities with a gentle cleanser.
Tone: Remove any lingering cleanser residue, balance your skin’s pH, hydrate, and prep it for moisturiser.
Moisturise: Hydrate and plump your skin with a moisturiser suited to your skin type.
Optimise: Target specific skin concerns with serums or treatments. This step helps nourish your skin, seal in moisture, and address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation.
Protect: Shield your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Know Your Skin Type

Everyone’s skin is unique. While there are six common skin types – normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and acne-prone – you might have a combination of characteristics. Factors like environment, diet, hormones, stress, and climate can also influence your skin type.

How to Determine Your Skin Type:

Start with a clean face: Wash your face with a mild cleanser and gently pat it dry.
Wait: Give your skin an hour to return to its natural state without applying any products.
Blot: Gently press a tissue or blotting paper to different areas of your face.
Analyse:
- Oily Skin: The sheet absorbs a lot of oil from all areas of your face.
- Dry Skin: The sheet absorbs little to no oil.
- Combination Skin: The sheet shows oil mainly from your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).
- Normal Skin: The sheet shows minimal oil from all areas.

Tailored Skincare for Every Skin Type

Once you know your skin type, you can choose the right products to cleanse, tone, moisturise, optimise, and protect your skin.

What are the Steps in a Skincare Routine?

A skincare routine is a simple daily set of steps you follow with your favourite skincare products. Typically, people have two different routines, one for the morning and one for the evening. They only differ slightly and almost always consist of a few essential products that are used to:

Cleanse – Wash and clean your skin removing sweat, dirt, make-up, and impurities.
Tone – Remove any cleanser residue, balance the skin’s pH level, hydrate, and prepare the skin for the next important step – a moisturiser.
Moisturise – add moisture to hydrate your skin.
Optimise – Feed and nourish your skin, seal in moisture, and address any issues your skin may have.
Protect –Prevent environmental elements damaging your skin.

These are steps dermatologists recommend, to allow the skin on your face to be the healthiest it can be, and to keep it looking its best.

The Best Skincare Routine for Your Skin Type: A Personalised Guide

Finding the perfect skincare routine starts with understanding your skin type. Let’s break down the six common skin types and the best ways to care for each:

1. Normal/Balanced Skin

This lucky skin type is neither too oily nor too dry, with just visible pores and a soft, smooth texture. While most products are tolerated, gentle, natural ingredients are still best.

Key concerns: Maintaining balance and hydration.

Essential routine:

Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser morning and night.
Tone: Apply a hydrating toner to balance pH.

3. Oily Skin

Oily skin produces excess sebum, leading to shine and potential breakouts. Stress, heat, hormones, and diet can all contribute to oiliness.

Key concerns: Balancing oil production and preventing clogged pores.

Essential routine:

Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser twice daily.
Tone: Apply a mattifying toner to control oil.
Moisturise: Yes, oily skin needs moisture too! Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser.
Exfoliate: Exfoliate 2-3 times a week to unclog pores.
Protect: Always finish your morning routine with an oil-free, broad-spectrum SPF.

Key concerns: Balancing different skin needs in different zones.

Essential routine:

Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser that balances oil without over-drying.
Tone: Apply a gentle hydrating toner.
Moisturise: Use a lightweight moisturiser all over, and consider a richer cream for dry areas.
Protect: Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF.

Spring Skincare Makeover For Healthy Glowing Skin

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

Spring Skin Revival: Awaken Your Glow with Scenturie Natural Skincare ☀️

Healthy, glowing skin radiates beauty and reflects overall well-being. As the seasons change, so do your skin’s needs. After a long winter, it’s time to shed dullness and embrace a radiant spring complexion.

Why a Spring Skincare Refresh is Essential

Your skin works hard all winter to combat dry air and harsh conditions. As the weather warms and humidity rises, your skin’s oil production rebalances, and it’s time to adjust your skincare routine. A spring refresh helps you:

Adapt to the changing environment: Lighter textures and targeted ingredients ensure your skin thrives in warmer weather.
Unveil your natural radiance: Exfoliation and hydration reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.
Address specific concerns: Target emerging issues like excess oil or sun damage.

Ten Steps to a Radiant Spring Complexion:

1. Know Your Skin

Your skin type can change with the seasons. Determine your current needs (dry, oily, combination, sensitive) to choose the right products.

2. Gentle Cleansing

Start with a gentle, natural cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils. Scenturie’s Natural Creamy Cleanser, with hydrating botanicals and antioxidant-rich Pohutukawa extract, leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed, and glowing.

3. Exfoliate Regularly

Remove dead skin cells and brighten your complexion with gentle exfoliation 2-3 times a week. Try Scenturie’s award-winning Espresso Facial Scrub for a smooth, revitalised feel.

4. Hydrate Deeply

Hydration is key year-round! Opt for lightweight moisturisers and serums with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to maintain a plump, dewy complexion. Scenturie’s Replenishing Natural Toner instantly hydrates, balances, and calms the skin with aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and Neroli flower water.

5. Antioxidant Power

Protect your skin from environmental damage with antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Green Tea extract. Scenturie’s “Liquid Gold” Super Boost Bakuchiol Serum, featuring a potent blend of antioxidants and bakuchiol, is a must-have for a youthful glow.

6. Lighter Textures

Swap heavy winter creams for lighter lotions and serums that absorb easily and won’t clog pores. Scenturie’s multi-award-winning Nourishing Natural Day Cream is a super-gentle, lightweight moisturiser perfect for spring.

7. Eye Care

The delicate skin around your eyes needs extra attention. Use a natural eye cream like Scenturie’s Regenerate Natural Eye Cream to hydrate, smooth fine lines, and reduce puffiness.

8. Facial Massage

Boost circulation and enhance product absorption with a gentle facial massage. Want to learn how to do this? Read our article: Why Facial Massage is a Game Changer For Your Skin.

9. Spring Clean Your Shelf

Toss expired products and replace them with fresh, effective formulas.

10. Embrace a Healthy Lifestyle

A balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management contribute to healthy, radiant skin from the inside out.

Bakuchiol: The New Natural Retinol Your Skin Needs

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

The Rise of Bakuchiol in Anti-Ageing Skincare

Bakuchiol (pronounced buh-koo-chee-all), a natural powerhouse derived from the Babchi plant, is making waves in the skincare industry. Touted as “retinol’s gentle sister,” this plant-based active offers a compelling alternative to retinol, delivering powerful anti-ageing benefits without the irritation.

While ageing is a natural and beautiful part of life, many of us seek to address concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. Bakuchiol steps in as a gentler, natural solution to promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

What is Bakuchiol & How Does It Work?

Bakuchiol, extracted from the seeds of the Babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia), has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. It’s a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that soothe and heal the skin.

Similar to retinol, Bakuchiol stimulates collagen production and accelerates skin cell turnover, leading to:

Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Improved skin texture and firmness
Reduced hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
Regulated oil production and minimised pores

Bakuchiol vs. Retinol: Why Choose Bakuchiol?

Retinol, while effective, can cause significant irritation, redness, and flaking, especially for sensitive skin. It also increases sun sensitivity and is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Bakuchiol, on the other hand, is:

Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Well-tolerated even by those with sensitive skin.
Suitable for Acne-Prone Skin: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help combat acne.
Can be Used Day & Night: Unlike retinol, bakuchiol doesn’t cause sun sensitivity.
Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Derived from plants and not tested on animals.
Compatible with Other Actives: Can be safely used with other skincare ingredients.

Bakuchiol vs Retinol

Bakuchiol

Natural plant-based alternative to retinol.
Plumps and hydrates skin.
Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Improves skin elasticity and firmness.
Boosts collagen production.
Smooths and evens skin tone and texture.
Skin looks radiant and glowing.
Considered safe for sensitive skin.
Safe to use morning and night and during sun exposure.
Safe to use with other active ingredients.
Vegan and cruelty-free.

Retinol

Synthetic Vitamin A derivative.
Plumps and hydrates skin.
Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Improves skin elasticity and firmness.
Boosts collagen production.
Smooths and evens skin tone and texture.
Skin looks radiant and glowing.
May cause irritation, redness, and a burning sensation.
Not safe to use during sun exposure, only use at night.
Can cause skin irritation when used with other skincare actives.
Often produced from animal products, and may be tested on animals.

Scientifically Proven Results

Clinical studies have shown Bakuchiol to be as effective as retinol in reducing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, but without the irritation.

A 2022 comprehensive review of topical bakuchiol for the treatment of photoaging concluded that topical bakuchiol can act as a functional analog of retinol and has additional antioxidant properties that are enhanced when formulated with other antioxidants. It demonstrates clinically significant similarity to topical retinol in efficacy and superiority in tolerability and safety. It mentions that topical bakuchiol may be considered as a key ingredient in skincare formulations for individuals who have sensitive skin who may not tolerate topical retinoids and those who are seeking natural antioxidant products.

A 2021 study published in The Journal of Drugs in Dermatology studied participants with sensitive skin who used a bakuchiol-containing product for four weeks. The results showcased significant improvements in skin smoothness, clarity, radiance, and overall appearance, with no adverse reactions.

A 2019 study published in the esteemed British Journal of Dermatology further solidified bakuchiol’s position as a natural retinol alternative.This randomised, double-blind trial compared the effectiveness of bakuchiol 0.5% cream and retinol 0.5% cream in 44 participants over 12 weeks. The results were remarkable: both bakuchiol and retinol significantly reduced wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, showcasing no statistical difference in their efficacy. However, the retinol group reported more side effects like skin scaling and stinging.

The Verdict: Bakuchiol Delivers!

These studies underscore bakuchiol’s potential as a more gentle, yet equally potent, anti-ageing ingredient. Bakuchiol tackles fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone just as effectively as retinol, but without the common downsides of irritation and sensitivity.

Key Takeaways

Bakuchiol = Retinol in Efficacy: Bakuchiol delivers comparable anti-aging results to retinol.
More Gentle on Skin: Bakuchiol is significantly less irritating than retinol, making it suitable even for sensitive skin.
Science-Backed: This clinical study provides robust evidence supporting bakuchiol’s effectiveness and tolerability.

Embrace Bakuchiol: The Natural Choice for Youthful Skin

If you’re seeking a natural, plant-based alternative to retinol that delivers real results without compromise, bakuchiol is the answer. It’s time to experience the power of this gentle yet potent ingredient and unlock your skin’s natural radiance.

Scenturie’s Super Boost Bakuchiol Serum

“Liquid Gold”

Experience the benefits of bakuchiol with Scenturie’s award-winning Super Boost Bakuchiol Serum. Described as “Liquid Gold”, this powerhouse formulation features 1% pure Bakuchiol, along with nine highly concentrated nutrient oils to rejuvenate, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and restore a healthy, radiant complexion.

The deeply nourishing properties of organic Argan oil, Cacay Seed Oil, and NZ Hemp Seed Oil leave skin revitalised and replenished with intense hydration for a radiant, youthful glow.

How to Incorporate Bakuchiol into Your Routine

Cleanse and Tone: Begin with clean, toned skin.

Follow Up: Follow with Scenturie’s Nourishing Natural Day Cream and an SPF for daytime use, or our Ultra-Rich Natural Night Cream, in the evening.

Wrinkle Prevention 101: Exposing Sugar’s Role in Skin Ageing

Skincare / Tania Cibulskis, PGDipHSc, BHSc, BSc

The Sweet Saboteur: How Sugar Ages Your Skin

We all love a sweet treat now and then, but have you ever considered the impact your sugar intake might be having on your skin? Beyond its effect on your overall health, sugar can accelerate your skin’s ageing process, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and a dull complexion. Let’s explore the science behind this connection and how you can protect your skin from sugar’s sneaky ageing effects.

Understanding the Culprit: Glycation

The primary way sugar ages your skin is through a process called glycation.When you consume excess sugar, glucose molecules in your bloodstream attach to proteins like collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining your skin’s youthful structure and elasticity. This attachment creates harmful molecules called Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs).AGEs damage collagen and elastin fibres, making them stiff and less able to support your skin.

The Visible Signs of Sugar-Induced Ageing

Over time, the accumulation of AGEs leads to a range of visible signs of ageing on your skin:

Wrinkles and fine lines: The breakdown of collagen and elastin weakens the skin’s structure, causing wrinkles and fine lines to form.
Sagging skin: The loss of elasticity makes your skin less firm and more prone to sagging.
Dryness and dullness: AGEs also impair your skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to dryness and a lacklustre complexion.
Uneven skin tone: Sugar can contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress, which can result in hyperpigmentation and an uneven skin tone.

Beyond Glycation: Other Ways Sugar Ages Your Skin

Inflammation: A diet high in sugar triggers inflammation throughout your body, including your skin. Chronic inflammation accelerates ageing and can exacerbate conditions like acne and rosacea.
Oxidative Stress: Sugar also promotes the production of free radicals, unstable molecules that damage cells and contribute to ageing.
Hormonal Imbalance: Sugar can disrupt your hormone balance, leading to increased oil production and breakouts, which can further accelerate the ageing process.

Sweet Salvation: Protecting Your Skin from Sugar’s Effects

While it’s impossible to completely avoid sugar, you can take steps to minimise its impact on your skin and overall health:

Reduce Sugar Intake: Limit your consumption of sugary drinks, processed foods, and refined carbohydrates. Swap that sugary soft drink or orange juice for a glass or sparkling or still water with some frozen berries or a slice of lemon or orange. Focus on whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.
Antioxidant-Rich Skincare: Incorporate skincare products containing antioxidants like vitamin C and E into your routine. These ingredients help combat free radical damage and protect your skin from premature ageing.
Sun Protection: Always wear sunscreen to shield your skin from harmful UV rays, which can further exacerbate the effects of sugar on your skin.
Hydration and Lifestyle: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and get regular exercise to boost circulation and promote skin health. Manage stress and get enough sleep to allow your body to repair and regenerate.

Can Glycation Be Reversed?

While glycation as a natural process can’t be stopped, it can be slowed down, and its effects can be reversed to some extent. Our body uses antioxidants to combat the adverse effects of glycation on the skin, but this is often not enough. In addition to proper skincare, it’s important to follow healthy lifestyle habits and reduce exposure to factors that cause and accelerate glycation.

Remember:

The effects of sugar on ageing are cumulative, so even small changes in your diet can make a big difference over time.
Focus on a balanced, whole-foods diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.
Choose skincare products with antioxidants and sun protection to further shield your skin from damage.
Embrace a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep.

By prioritising your skin’s health and making informed choices about your sugar intake, you can enjoy a glowing, youthful complexion that reflects your inner vitality.
