The Power of Botanical Actives in Modern Skincare
Why plant-derived actives like bakuchiol and centella are earning a place next to the classics.

Nature, clinically understood
For decades the conversation around active skincare was dominated by a handful of synthetic molecules. Today, a new generation of botanical actives is being studied with the same rigour, and the results are compelling.
Bakuchiol
Derived from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, bakuchiol has been shown in clinical comparison to deliver retinol-like improvements in fine lines and pigmentation with significantly less irritation.
Centella asiatica
Rich in madecassoside and asiaticoside, centella supports collagen synthesis and calms visible redness, which is why it anchors our Vitamin C Radiance Serum.
How we formulate
Every DR.AR active is used at the concentration supported by published data, stabilised for shelf life, and paired with barrier-supporting lipids so results come without compromise.
