A new rebuttal commentary to: “Is Bakuchiol the new skincare hero?” from Raja Sivamani, MD, Board Certified Dermatologist, has been published by the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
Read Dr. Sivamani’s comments: We read the recent commentary by Dr. Natalia Spierlings entitled “Cosmetic commentary: Is Bakuchiol the new ‘skincare hero’?” with interest as she delineated her perspective on the recent clinical studies on Bakuchiol. She importantly and correctly points out the need for more high-quality studies in regards to topical Bakuchiol. However, there are several misunderstandings about the research studies and several omissions in her commentary.
