Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSBakuchiol 1% (10,000 ppm)Proven
A plant-derived retinol alternative extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea Corylifolia (Babchi) plant. Regulates skin cell behavior similarly to retinol — boosting collagen production and reducing MMP enzymes — without the same irritation profile.
- Clinical Study: A 2019 double-blind study with 44 participants found 0.5% bakuchiol comparable to 0.5% retinol for improving photoaging after 12 weeks, with better tolerability.
- Anti-Acne: 1% bakuchiol demonstrated a 57% reduction in acne after 6 weeks of treatment in clinical testing.
- Synergy: Bakuchiol stabilizes retinoids and boosts their efficacy when used together, making this dual-active formula especially effective.
Retinal (Retinaldehyde) 0.03% (300 ppm)Proven
One step away from retinoic acid (the prescription-strength form), Retinal requires only a single conversion in the skin. It delivers faster results than standard retinol while being better tolerated than tretinoin.
- Conversion: Retinol → Retinal → Retinoic Acid. Retinal skips the first step, providing quicker and more predictable results.
- Efficacy: Concentrations of 0.05% and 0.1% are proven effective for anti-aging. At 0.03%, this formula is beginner-friendly.
- Multi-Action: Improves cell turnover, reduces wrinkles, fights blemishes, refines pores, and evens skin tone.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) ~2–4%Proven
A multitasking brightening ingredient that strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum production, fades dark spots, and minimizes pore appearance. Well-tolerated by virtually all skin types.
- Barrier Support: Stimulates natural ceramide production, reinforcing the skin's protective barrier.
- Brightening: Inhibits melanin transfer to reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone over time.
Ceramide NP TraceProven
A skin-identical lipid that helps restore and maintain the skin's moisture barrier. Works synergistically with the other soothing ingredients to prevent transepidermal water loss overnight.
- Barrier Repair: Ceramides make up approximately 50% of the skin's natural lipid barrier — replenishing them is critical for healthy skin function.
Centella Asiatica Extract TraceProven
A K-beauty staple known for its powerful soothing and wound-healing properties. Helps calm any potential irritation from the retinoid actives in this formula.
- Soothing: Rich in madecassoside and asiaticoside, which reduce redness and support skin recovery.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 TracePromising
A neurosensory peptide that calms skin inflammation at the cellular level. Helps reduce the irritation response that can occur with retinoid use, making this formula more comfortable for sensitive skin.
- Mechanism: Mimics a natural anti-inflammatory peptide in the skin, helping to block stress-triggered inflammation signals.

How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Tone
Start with a clean, dry face. Complete your evening cleansing and toning steps before application.
Dispense & Apply
Pump a pea-sized amount onto your fingertips. Dot the neon-yellow cream across forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
Massage Gently
Smooth the cream over your entire face using upward and outward motions. Gently pat to encourage absorption. Can also be applied to neck and eye area.
Build Up Gradually
Beginners: start with 2 times per week for 2 weeks, then increase to 3 times, and gradually work up to nightly use as tolerated.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- You want to start anti-aging but find retinol too irritating
- You are looking for a gentle retinoid for the eye, neck, or chest area
- You have fine lines, uneven texture, or early signs of aging
- You prefer a fragrance-free, cruelty-free night moisturizer
- You want a single product that combines treatment and moisturization
- You have dry to normal skin that benefits from a richer cream
Consider alternatives if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding (contains retinal)
- You have fungal acne / malassezia folliculitis
- You have very oily skin and prefer lightweight gel textures
- You need a stronger retinoid concentration (prescription-level results)
- You want to use Vitamin C or chemical exfoliants in the same PM routine
- You need a larger product size (this is only 30g)
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESRich, nourishing cream texture with Macadamia Oil, Ceramide NP, and multiple humectants provides deep overnight hydration.
Well-balanced formula provides both treatment and moisture without feeling heavy. Ideal all-in-one night step.
Works well during cooler/drier months. In humid conditions, may feel slightly heavy on the T-zone. Use a thinner layer on oily areas.
Rich texture may feel too heavy for very oily skin, especially in warm climates. Consider a gel-based retinal product instead.
Passed sensitive skin irritation testing. Bakuchiol and soothing agents (Cica, Beta-Glucan, Peptide-8) offset retinal irritation. Introduce slowly and patch test first.
Bakuchiol has anti-acne properties and Niacinamide regulates sebum. However, not suitable for fungal acne due to several potential triggers in the formula.

DUPES
Contains 1% bakuchiol in a simpler, lighter formula but lacks retinal, ceramides, and peptides. Better suited for oily skin. No dual Vitamin A approach.
Uses encapsulated retinol (0.1%) instead of retinal + bakuchiol. More affordable and larger size, but lacks the dual active synergy and soothing botanical complex.
Higher retinal concentration (0.05% vs 0.03%) in a lightweight serum texture. No bakuchiol. Better for oily skin but less moisturizing — you will need a separate moisturizer.

Frequently asked questions
FAQNo. This product contains Retinal (retinaldehyde), a form of Vitamin A. The brand explicitly advises that pregnant, breastfeeding individuals, and infants should refrain from using this product. While bakuchiol alone is generally considered safe during pregnancy, the inclusion of retinal makes this cream unsuitable. Consult your healthcare provider for pregnancy-safe alternatives.
No. This product contains several ingredients that may feed malassezia yeast, including Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, and Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate. If you have fungal acne, look for a simpler, FA-safe bakuchiol product instead.
The brand recommends against combining this product with Vitamin C or other exfoliating agents (AHA, BHA) in the same routine. Since this cream already contains retinal, layering additional retinol on top would increase irritation risk. You can alternate: use this cream on some nights and your exfoliants or Vitamin C on other nights. Some experienced users do gradually introduce BHA alongside this cream on separate nights once their skin has adapted.
This cream is best suited for dry to normal skin types due to its rich, nourishing texture. It also works well for combination skin in cooler/drier weather. Sensitive skin types can benefit from the gentle retinal + bakuchiol approach — just introduce gradually. Oily skin types may find the texture too heavy, especially in warm or humid climates.
Most users notice improved hydration and glow within the first 1–2 weeks. Texture and pore refinement typically become visible around weeks 3–4 (confirmed by the brand's clinical testing). Significant anti-aging results like wrinkle reduction and improved elasticity generally require 6–12 weeks of consistent use, as changes in collagen occur in the deeper skin layers.
Apply as the last treatment/moisturizing step in your PM routine, after cleansing and toning. If you use a hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid), apply it before this cream. This product is designed for nighttime use only. In the morning, always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
The overall comedogenic rating is approximately 2 out of 5 (low-moderate). While it contains some potentially comedogenic ingredients like Macadamia Seed Oil and Cetyl Alcohol, the formulation is balanced with non-comedogenic actives like Niacinamide that help regulate sebum. Most users with acne-prone skin (non-fungal) tolerate it well, but patch testing is always recommended.
The product has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. Thanks to the airless pump packaging, the retinal remains stable and protected from air and light exposure throughout its shelf life. Despite the small 30g size, a little goes a long way — most users report the bottle lasts 2–3 months with nightly use.
Verdict: By WishTrend's Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream is a thoughtfully formulated, award-winning night cream that stands out for its dual retinal + bakuchiol approach — offering meaningful anti-aging results with notably less irritation than traditional retinol products. The rich, nourishing formula packed with Ceramide NP, Centella Asiatica, peptides, and hyaluronic acid makes it an excellent all-in-one nighttime treatment for dry, normal, and sensitive skin types. It loses points for the small product size relative to price, unsuitability for fungal acne sufferers, and its too-rich texture for oily skin. Overall, it is one of the best beginner-friendly retinoid night creams in K-beauty, and a strong choice for anyone who wants to start a well-aging routine without the retinol irritation learning curve.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
