Reviews
effective retinol alternative
"I can’t use retinal because I have dermatitis, so I was looking for a gentler alternative. My skin absolutely loves this product. It’s gentle, doesn’t cause any irritation, and my skin feels smoother and healthier since I started using it. I’m so happy to have found an effective retinol alternative that works so well for my sensitive skin."

Given as a gift
"I use this product in the evening along with Liquid Peptide Advanced mp and Exo-PDRN Prismatic. I give each layer time to dry before applying another product. My skin feels soft to the touch and brighter. I have only been using Bakuchiol for four weeks. My skin feels softer looks brighter."

I give the Medik8 Bakuchiol
"I give the Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides (Old SKU) a full 5 stars. The lightweight, oil-based fluid texture is highly practical, absorbing smoothly to deeply nourish without leaving a heavy, greasy film. Formulated with 1. 2% pure bakuchiol and brightening peptides, it works beautifully to refine fine lines and even out skin tone while keeping the skin barrier perfectly calm. It shouldn't be expected to deliver the rapid, aggressive resurfacing results of a high-strength retinaldehyde, but as a progressive, pregnancy-safe daily renewal formula, it is a high-performance essential."

A serum I keep coming back to
"This is actually my second bottle of Bakuchiol Peptides, which says a lot about how much I enjoy using it. I have combination, sensitive skin and I'm always careful with active ingredients, so I really appreciate how gentle this serum is. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky, making it easy to layer with the rest of my skincare routine. My skin feels smoother, more hydrated and comfortable, and over time it looks healthier and more radiant. I also like that it offers a gentler alternative to traditional retinol while still helping to improve the overall appearance of my skin. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts well. It's a product I would happily repurchase again and would definitely recommend, especially to anyone with sensitive skin looking for a gentle yet effective anti-ageing serum."

Perfect

Excellent pairing with vit c
"This product is mild, has no irritation on skin at all. It has a bit smell of grass but acceptable. If use as alternative of retinol, result not as good as retinol, in my case. But it can use in day time. When use it after vitamin c in the morning, the result is excellent. The skin becomes smooth immediately."

Bon produit
"Il est trop tôt pour me prononcer sur les résultats, mais dans l'ensemble, je suis satisfaite. Ma peau a bien toléré le produit, j'apprécie sa texture huileuse et son parfum."
