Vitamin C or Bakuchiol: The Battle for Glowing Skin

Vitamin C or Bakuchiol: The Battle for Glowing Skin

In skincare, the ingredients we use can spark a lot of debate—and for good reason. Two ingredients that most skincare enthusiasts have probably already heard of are Vitamin C and Bakuchiol. Even though they are completely different, each of them comes with its own unique benefits for healthy, glowing skin. So it comes as no surprise that at LoloVegan, we’re all about using both to their full potential with our Vita Glow Line and Baku Firming Line. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these ingredients so special and how they can help your skin.

Vitamin C: The Gold Standard for Glow

Vitamin C has been a go-to in skincare for a long time, mainly because of its powerful antioxidant properties. It’s the star of our Vita Glow Line, which includes the Vita Glow Serum and Vita Glow Cream. These products are packed with Vitamin C, niacinamide, and Tremella Fuciformis (a hydrating mushroom extract), and they’re made to:

  1. Brighten and even out your skin tone: Vitamin C helps fade dark spots, sun damage, and dullness, giving your skin a fresh, glowing look.
  2. Fight free radicals and UV damage: Vitamin C acts as a shield, protecting your skin from things like pollution and the sun.
  3. Boost collagen production: This helps keep your skin firm and elastic over time.

But Vitamin C does more than just improve how your skin looks—it works deep down to improve overall skin health. In the Vita Glow Line, it’s paired with niacinamide to help strengthen your skin’s barrier, reduce redness, and keep things hydrated. The Tremella Fuciformis, often called the "beauty mushroom," helps lock in moisture and leaves your skin looking plump and dewy. These products are perfect for your morning routine, getting your skin ready to take on the day.

Bakuchiol: The Gentle Retinol Alternative

If you’ve been curious about retinol but worried about irritation, Bakuchiol might be just what you need. Found in our Baku Firming Line (which includes the Baku Firming Serum and Baku Firming Cream), Bakuchiol is a gentle, natural alternative to retinol. Along with vegan peptides and micro liposome cica, this line works to firm and soothe your skin. Here’s how it helps:

  1. Smooth out your skin texture: Bakuchiol helps minimize the appearance of pores, leaving your skin looking smoother.
  2. Boost skin cell turnover: This supports a healthy skin renewal process, helping you maintain a fresh, youthful appearance.
  3. Anti-aging without irritation: Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is gentle enough for sensitive skin.
  4. Calms and hydrates: Thanks to micro liposome cica, it helps soothe and hydrate stressed or irritated skin.

The Baku Firming Line isn’t just about anti-aging and shrinking pores—it also promotes healthy skin. The vegan peptides support collagen production, making your skin more elastic and firm, while the micro liposome cica helps calm redness and irritation. These products are ideal for nighttime, giving your skin time to repair and rejuvenate overnight.

How to Use Both in Your Routine

What’s great about skincare today is how well ingredients can work together. Vitamin C and Bakuchiol aren’t competitors—they actually complement each other. Vitamin C works during the day to protect and brighten, while Bakuchiol works its magic at night, helping your skin repair and renew while you sleep. By using both, you get the best of both worlds.

For a balanced routine, start your day with the Vita Glow Serum and Vita Glow Cream. These products give your skin antioxidants, hydration, and a healthy glow, preparing you for the day ahead. In the evening, switch to the Baku Firming Serum and Cream. They work together to restore your skin’s firmness and smoothness while hydrating and calming your skin as you wind down.

Why These Ingredients Work

What makes our products so effective is not just the ingredients, but how they’re formulated. The two forms of Vitamin C in the Vita Glow Line are stabilized, so they stay potent and deliver maximum benefits every time. Along with niacinamide, it tackles everything from uneven skin tone to fine lines. The Tremella Fuciformis holds a ton of water, providing lasting hydration for your skin.

In the Baku Firming Line, Bakuchiol is paired with vegan peptides, which help stimulate collagen production, making your skin firmer and more elastic. The micro liposome cica helps the soothing ingredients go deeper into your skin, calming irritation and giving you lasting hydration. These combinations make both lines effective yet gentle, great for all kinds of skin types.

Choosing What’s Right for You

Skincare should fit your personal needs. Your skin changes over time, so your routine should too. That’s why we’ve made the Vita Glow and Baku Firming lines flexible enough for you to choose—or combine—based on your skin goals. Whether you’re looking to brighten, firm, or both, our products have you covered. Also, depending on your skin needs at the moment, you can use serums, creams, or both!

If you’re new to active ingredients and want something gentle, the Baku Firming Line is a great place to start. It gives you anti-aging benefits without the irritation. If you’re looking to brighten your skin, the Vita Glow Line is your go-to. And if you want to get the most out of your routine, combining both will give you a complete skincare regimen. We always make sure that everyone can use our products, which is why all of them are suitable for sensitive skin, while also being vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without any toxic ingredients. 

By combining Vitamin C and Bakuchiol, you’re giving your skin the best of both worlds. Let the Vita Glow products brighten and protect your skin during the day. At night, let the Baku Firming products help repair and rejuvenate. This combination not only gives you great results but also respects your skin’s natural rhythm.
