Retinol Alternative Peptide-Infused Serum
Smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin texture and tone with this plant-based vitamin A (retinol) alternative. Harnessing the clinically proven but gentle power of 1.25% bakuchiol (pronounced 'bak-oo-chi-ol'), Bakuchiol Peptides is the perfect age-defying option for those who can't use retinol (e.g. during pregnancy or while nursing). This lightweight and calming serum works to deliver a visibly smoother, plumper, and youthful-looking complexion that's more even in tone and texture. Plus, another of Medik8's innovative stability systems ensures the formula remains potent and effective until the very last drop.
Key Benefits
- Targets Multiple Signs of Ageing – Can be used both day & night to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture
- Calms Visible Redness – Conditions and calms the skin, helping to reduce any visible inflammation and/or redness.
- Pregnancy-Friendly, Age-Defying Results – Delivers powerful visible results akin to traditional vitamin A (retinol) formulas while being suitable for use during pregnancy/nursing.**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.
How to Use
First-time use: If you're new to Bakuchiol Peptides, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use.
- After cleansing in the morning and evening, massage 6 drops across the face, neck and décolletage.
- Follow with a moisturiser and/or sunscreen if using in the morning. We recommend Advanced Day Ultimate Protect.
Key Ingredients
- Bakuchiol (1.25%) – A clinically proven alternative to retinol, bakuchiol helps to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting collagen and elastin production within the skin. Effective but very gentle, it is suitable for those who are unable to use or tolerate vitamin A.
- Brightening Peptide Precursors – An amino acid that effortlessly penetrates the skin barrier to help prevent the production of melanin, which causes visible dark spots and discolouration. It therefore supports a visibly brighter and more even skin tone.
- Centella Asiatica – Also known as cica, this naturally-derived extract delivers powerful anti-inflammatory properties for a comfortable and visibly calmer complexion.
- Inka Omega Oil – A rich and organic source of natural omegas, it works to intensely replenish the skin's natural barrier while strengthening it against moisture loss.

Before you buy
Using this with microneedling
Microneedling opens channels for a few hours. What you apply afterwards, and when, changes the result.
