Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides

For the ultimate plant-based, anti-ageing alternative to retinols, retinals and retinoids and vitamin A, Bakuchiol is nature’s latest saving grace.

If you are finding that Vitamin A doesn’t work for your skin type, remember Vitamin A doesn’t work or is suitable for everyone! Whether you’re avoiding retinol because you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have had reactions to it in the past or are looking for a plant-based alternative, Bakuchiol is here as the vegan, cruelty-free, sensitive-skin friendly option that’s been designed as a plant-based alternative to Vitamin A.

What is Bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is a plant based active ingredient that has been clinically proven as an alternative to Retinols. Derived from the Indian and Shri Lanka plant Babchi, it has impressive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, shown to visibly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, visibly reduce photo-ageing, and even improve acne breakouts. It has the effects of a retinol without the irritation.

Key Ingredients:

Bakuchiol – A clinically proven alternative to retinol, bakuchiol helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Incredibly gentle, it is suitable for those that cannot usually tolerate vitamin A.

Brightening Peptide Precursors – A lipo-amino acid that can penetrate the natural skin barrier with ease. They minimise the action of MSH (melanin stimulating hormone), therefore blocking the production of melanin, for a visibly brighter and even skin tone.

Centella Asiatica – A naturally-derived anti-inflammatory with incredible wound healing benefits on the skin.

Inka Omega Oil – One of the highest, organic sources of omegas among natural seeds. The natural oil can slip into the gaps between skin cells in the stratum corneum to restore the skin’s natural barrier and block moisture loss.
