Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides 30ml — 1.25% Bakuchiol Serum

Designed as a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol, the formula combines 1.25% bakuchiol, brightening peptide precursors, centella asiatica, and Inka Omega Oil to provide comprehensive age-defying skincare without vitamin A derivatives.

1.25% bakuchiol is a clinically studied plant-derived ingredient with retinol-like cosmetic benefits. It helps support the skin's natural collagen and elastin production, visibly smoothing wrinkles and improving firmness and texture.

Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is not a vitamin A derivative and is generally well tolerated, making it an excellent alternative for people who cannot use traditional retinoids.

Brightening Peptide Precursors help target the appearance of uneven pigmentation by supporting a more balanced melanin response, promoting a brighter and more even-looking complexion.

Centella asiatica extract provides soothing benefits, helping calm visible redness and maintain skin comfort.

Rich in omega fatty acids, Inka Omega Oil helps replenish the skin's natural lipid barrier, improve softness, and protect against moisture loss.

The formula also contains vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps defend against free radical damage.

Its lightweight oil-based texture glides smoothly over the skin, leaving it soft, conditioned, and comfortable without a heavy finish.

With consistent use, skin appears visibly smoother, firmer, brighter, and more supple, while fine lines, uneven tone, and visible redness become less noticeable.
