Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides

£42.00

Bakuchiol Peptides is Medik8's plant-based alternative to vitamin A — formulated for anyone
who cannot use retinoids, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or whose skin
genuinely cannot tolerate them.

Bakuchiol is a botanical extract shown to produce retinol-like effects on lines, firmness and
texture through a different pathway, without the sensitivity, dryness or sun-sensitising
effect of vitamin A. Paired here with peptides for additional firming benefit.

BEST FOR
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Sensitive or reactive skin
- Anyone who has tried retinoids and could not tolerate them
- Early ageing and prevention
- Fine lines, texture and loss of firmness

KEY INGREDIENTS
- Bakuchiol — plant-derived retinol alternative
- Peptide complex — supports firmness and line reduction
- Hyaluronic Acid — hydrates

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Apply 3–4 drops to clean, dry skin morning or evening, before moisturiser.

Does not increase sun sensitivity, though daily SPF remains recommended.

Is it as effective as retinol?
It works differently and more gently. For anyone who cannot use vitamin A, it's a genuinely useful alternative rather than a token substitute. For those who can tolerate retinoids, vitamin A remains the stronger option.

Can I use it in pregnancy?
Bakuchiol is generally considered suitable when vitamin A is not. As with anything in pregnancy, check with your midwife.

Can I switch back to retinal later?
Yes. Many people use bakuchiol during pregnancy and breastfeeding and return to Crystal Retinal afterwards.
