Medik8Bakuchiol Peptides
Product Description
Improve the appearance of overall skin texture and visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles with Medik8's plant-based retinol (vitamin A) alternative.
Formulated with clinically proven but gentle 1.25% bakuchiol, Bakuchiol Peptides is the perfect age-defying serum for those who are unable to use retinol (e.g. when pregnant or nursing).
This calming and lightweight serum delivers a visibly plumper, smoother and youthful-looking complexion - with a more even texture and tone. Enhanced with another innovative stability system from Medik8, the formula remains effective and potent until the very last drop.
KEY BENEFITS
Targets Multiple Signs of Ageing
This lightweight serum can be used both day and night to effectively reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone, texture, fine lines and wrinkles.
Pregnancy-Friendly, Age-Defying Results
Delivers powerful visible results akin to traditional vitamin A (retinol) formulas while being suitable for use during pregnancy/nursing.*
Calms Visible Redness
Calms and conditions the skin, helping to reduce any visible redness and inflammation.
NOTE
*Due to ethical considerations, Bakuchiol Peptides has not been tested on pregnant women. However, there is nothing in the formula which is known to cause any issues during pregnancy or nursing (e.g. vitamin A or high levels of exfoliating acids). If you are at all concerned, always consult your doctor before use.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Bakuchiol (1.25%)
A clinically proven retinol alternative, bakuchiol works by helping to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through supporting elastin and collagen production within the skin. Gentle but effective, it is suitable for those who aren't able to tolerate vitamin A.
Brightening Peptide Precursors
This amino acid effortlessly penetrates through the skin barrier, helping to prevent the production of melanin which triggers visible discolouration and dark spots. It therefore supports a visibly even and brighter skin tone.
Centella Asiatica
Also known as cica, this naturally-derived extract delivers potent anti-inflammatory properties for a visibly calmer and comfortable complexion.
Inka Omega Oil
An organic and rich source of natural omegas, it works to intensely replenish the skin's natural barrier while strengthening it against moisture loss.

Has the formulation changed?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using bakuchiol peptides for a couple of years since starting my pregnancy journey and wanting to avoid retinoids. I loved the product and continued purchasing but have noticed the smell has changed and is very unpleasant. I wasn't sure if this was because I had purchased them as part of a medik8 sale and although unopened maybe the product has somehow expired during storage, or if the formulation has changed and now smells bad? I am very disappointed in the product and struggling to continue using it. Would unfortunately no longer recommend the product.

Re: Lovely Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Medik8 products for nearly a year now, I am so impressed with the results I have been getting.
I bought this product with me going away to Egypt, due to me not using some of the products due to the hot weather (like Retinal etc) my face felt very nice and smooth and I am carrying on using this on a evening and using my Medik8 Peptides MP just in a morning

Clearer, brighter skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has made a marked improvement to the radiance of my skin, my pores appear small and my skin clearer.
The only negative I have, is I’m unsure of the smell. I can’t place what it reminds me of but I don’t find it very pleasant, although the benefits outweigh this.

Lives skin so silky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product for several years and I still loved! This is a great addition to the crystal retinol regime since I use this at day time as well as in summer time when I have more exposure to the sun, despite sun screen.
Smells also really nice.
