Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides is a multi-action anti-aging serum formulated as a gentle alternative to retinol for sensitive skin or those who cannot tolerate traditional vitamin A products. Featuring 1.25% pure bakuchiol, this advanced formula helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin firmness, and uneven tone while delivering powerful antioxidant protection—all without the irritation commonly associated with retinol.

The lightweight lilac-colored serum is enriched with Brightening Peptide Precursors, Centella Asiatica Extract, and Inca Inchi Seed Oil to visibly brighten the complexion, calm sensitive skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and support long-lasting hydration.

One of the richest plant sources of omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids. It strengthens the skin barrier, replenishes essential lipids, and helps prevent moisture loss.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Bakuchiol During Pregnancy

Bakuchiol is widely recognized as a gentle, plant-derived alternative to retinol. Unlike retinoids, it is not structurally related to vitamin A, although studies have shown that it can influence many of the same skin-renewal pathways as retinol.

Because oral vitamin A in high doses is known to pose risks during pregnancy, healthcare professionals and Medik8 recommend avoiding topical vitamin A products as a precaution. Bakuchiol does not share the same molecular structure as retinoids, and many dermatologists consider it a suitable alternative during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is always advisable to consult your healthcare professional before introducing new skincare products.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

After cleansing, apply 6 drops of Bakuchiol Peptides to the face, neck, and décolleté morning and evening. Gently massage into the skin until fully absorbed. Follow with your preferred moisturizer and, during the daytime, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
