What is Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides?

Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides is a plant-based, retinol-alternative serum that harnesses the clinically validated anti-ageing power of bakuchiol — a naturally derived active from the Psoralea corylifolia plant that has been shown to mimic the skin-renewing effects of vitamin A (retinol) without the associated redness, peeling or photosensitivity. Combined with skin-strengthening peptides and housed in Medik8's innovative stability system, this serum remains potent and effective from the first pump to the very last drop.

Whether you're unable to use retinol due to pregnancy, nursing, skin sensitivity or personal preference — Bakuchiol Peptides delivers visible, age-defying results that everyone can enjoy.

Key Ingredients & How They Work:

1.25% Bakuchiol – Plant-Based Vitamin A Alternative Bakuchiol (pronounced bak-oo-chi-ol) is a clinically proven, naturally derived active extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. Studies have shown that bakuchiol works similarly to retinol by activating retinol receptors in the skin — stimulating collagen production, accelerating cell turnover and visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Unlike retinol, however, bakuchiol is non-irritating, non-photosensitising and safe for use during pregnancy and nursing — making it a truly inclusive anti-ageing ingredient.

Peptides – Skin-Renewing & Firming Complex Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers in the skin, signalling the production of collagen and elastin. In this formula, peptides work synergistically with bakuchiol to further improve skin firmness, elasticity and overall structure — amplifying the anti-ageing effects of the serum for a more comprehensive, visible result.

Medik8 Innovative Stability System Medik8's proprietary stability technology ensures that the active ingredients — particularly bakuchiol — remain fully potent and effective throughout the entire lifespan of the product. From the first use to the very last drop, you can trust that you're receiving the full benefit of every carefully chosen ingredient in the formula.

How to Use

Photo-stabilising ingredient, bakuchiol, can be used both morning and night as it's generally not affected by UV light. However, our extensive research has shown that it does lose its effectiveness when exposed to sunlight over a period of a few months.That's why Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides features yet another of our innovative stability systems. This particular dual-action approach combines a UV-protected glass bottle with a photo-stabiliser called krameria triandra root extract.These two elements join forces to protect the bakuchiol molecule and maintain its effectiveness on the skin for maximum visible results.
