Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides 30ml

A plant-based alternative to retinol for anyone who cannot use vitamin A - including during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Bakuchiol Peptides uses 1.25% bakuchiol, a botanical active that behaves like a retinoid in the skin, to smooth the look of fine lines and refine uneven tone and texture.

Alongside bakuchiol sit brightening peptide precursors that help interrupt melanin production, centella asiatica (cica) to calm visible redness, and inka omega oil to replenish the skin barrier. The combination works on several signs of ageing at once without the purging, peeling or sun sensitivity that come with vitamin A.

Because it is gentle, you can use it morning and night, which is a practical advantage over retinol - you are not limited to half your routine.

Medik8's stability system keeps the formula potent to the last drop, and the serum itself is lightweight and calming rather than rich.

Massage six drops across face, neck and decolletage, then follow with moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning. Note that bakuchiol has not been tested on pregnant women for ethical reasons, so check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
