BioHack Track models Bakuchiol at a half-life of 4 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.
Topical cream/serum; no reconstitution needed.
Store at room temperature, away from direct light.
Generally well tolerated; evidence base is smaller and less robust than for retinoids, despite popular "natural retinol alternative" marketing.
Track Bakuchiol in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
These open a search of each database for Bakuchiol — they are not citations, and nothing here is evidence for any particular dose. The same links are in the app.
