Bakuchiol vs Retinol

Bakuchiol vs Retinol

Reading Time: 3 minutes There has been a lot of buzz throughout the industry of late around the ingredient Bakuchiol, with media heralding it as the ‘safe and natural alternative to retinol’. Often regarded as leaders in retinol-based skincare, cosmeceutical brand Medik8 prides itself on extensive research and development around retinoids, which are complex and notoriously unstable. The brand has just released their very own bakuchiol-concentrated serum, so we thought to ourselves – who could explain (honestly and unbiased!) the differences between the two better than Medik8’s Director of Research, Daniel Isaacs. Here, Daniel compares the actions of both ingredients side-by-side, their unique benefits, and how they both act on a cellular level.

Microbiome: The Key To Optimal Skin Health?

Microbiome: The Key To Optimal Skin Health?

How To Take Brilliant Before + After Photos

How To Take Brilliant Before + After Photos

Reading Time: 4 minutes In this social media-driven era, your before and after photos are one of your primary business drivers. The vast majority of consumers shop around online for their services, so if you don’t have some amazing real-life client images on hand, you will instantly lose out on this huge segment of the market, and have to rely solely on word of mouth. And sure, that may work for that small portion of incredible businesses who have worked their arses off for years. However, for most businesses, WOM should only make up for a portion of your new clientele, not the whole thing. When capturing new clients online, generally the consumer journey is to find the business (by Googling either the area or the services or products they wish to find) and once something that fits the criteria is found, jump on Instagram to see some client results first-hand. If you consider the content on your social media right now, can you confidently say that the images could make this conversion and get clients through the door for you?
