Medik 8 Bakuchiol Peptides

Can’t use retinol serums or creams containing vitamin A because your skin is too sensitive, or do you have to avoid vitamin A because of pregnancy or breastfeeding? Treat yourself to the same care with BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES as with vitamin A, but without its potential risks. BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES rejuvenates the skin, smoothes wrinkles and fine lines, reduces excessive pigmentation and counteracts skin inflammation and acne.

An alternative to vitamin A

BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES serum uses bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, as the main active ingredient, together with brightening peptide precursors. It is therefore a great choice for anyone who does not want or cannot use cosmetics with vitamin A (retinol, retinal and other derivatives).

Retinol for pregnant

According to doctors’ recommendations, cosmetics containing vitamin A should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as they can have a negative effect on the development of the fetus and breastfed babies. With BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES, however, you do not have to miss out on the amazing effect of retinol in the form of rejuvenating, purifying and brightening the skin. For ethical reasons, BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES serum is not directly tested on pregnant or breastfeeding women, but it does not contain any substance that could be in any way risky during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Anti-wrinkle and skin soothing

BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES softens, soothes and restores the skin’s protective barrier. The skin is thus protected, without irritation or redness, and at the same time supple and firmed. The active ingredient bakuchiol helps to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, while other active ingredients brighten the skin and lighten dark spots on the skin. In addition, the serum is suitable for all skin types, including those that typically do not tolerate vitamin A (retinol).

4 substances for beautiful skin

1.25% Bakuchiol:
A natural alternative to retinol, it acts in the same way as vitamin A itself, i.e. stimulating collagen production and improving skin hydration. Like retinol, it rejuvenates the skin by acting on gene expression. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect, thus calming inflammation and reducing the appearance of rashes and acne.

Brightening peptide precursors:
Lipoamino acid, which is easily absorbed into the skin, is able to inhibit the activity of melanocyte-stimulating hormones, and thus acts preventively against the production of skin pigments, leading to a brighter complexion and a reduction of excessive pigmentation and age spots.

Asian navelwort:
In traditional Korean skin care, Asian navelwort is a popular ingredient that has an anti-inflammatory effect while promoting healing and skin regeneration. In addition, it contributes to skin rejuvenation as it stimulates the production of type I collagen and promotes skin cell proliferation.

Inka omega oil:
The oil from the seeds of the Sacha inch plant is one of the greatest natural sources of omega fatty acids. When applied topically, these fill the space between skin cells in the topmost layer of the skin, restoring the functioning of the protective skin barrier and preventing skin dehydration.

How to use the product within the CSA philosophy?

Medik8’s anti-wrinkle CSA philosophy is to apply vitamin C and SPF in the morning and use a vitamin A product in the evening. If you can’t use vitamin A for some reason, BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES can take its place in your skincare routine. BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES can be used both in the evening and in the morning.

Support the effect of retinol

BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES can also be used at the same time as vitamin A. In this case, use BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES as part of your morning skin care routine and include vitamin A in the evening.

Use as vitamin A

• Apply 6 drops of BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES serum to the face, neck and décolleté in the morning and evening after cleansing. If you are accustomed to using another water-based serum, apply BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES to the skin after this serum. Once BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES has been absorbed, use the vitamin C serum and day cream for morning care and night cream for evening care.
• The 30 ml serum lasts for approximately 100 applications.
• Once opened, use the serum within 12 months.
