Reviews

Re: Lovely Product

"I have been using Medik8 products for nearly a year now, I am so impressed with the results I have been getting. I bought this product with me going away to Egypt, due to me not using some of the products due to the hot weather (like Retinal etc) my face felt very nice and smooth and I am carrying on using this on a evening and using my Medik8 Peptides MP just in a morning"

Clearer, brighter skin

"This has made a marked improvement to the radiance of my skin, my pores appear small and my skin clearer. The only negative I have, is I’m unsure of the smell. I can’t place what it reminds me of but I don’t find it very pleasant, although the benefits outweigh this."

— Natalie H. (4/5)

No sensitivity experienced with this product

"I have been pleased with the gentleness of this product. The scent is a bit strange, but I have easily gotten used to it. I do not see any results yet, but perhaps I will in time."

— Alison M. (4/5)

Lovely serum

"I bought this as too much Retinol is not good for the skin. Its lovely and makes my skin look smooth and hydrated."

— Eve R. (5/5)

Lives skin so silky

"I've been using this product for several years and I still loved! This is a great addition to the crystal retinol regime since I use this at day time as well as in summer time when I have more exposure to the sun, despite sun screen. Smells also really nice."

— Consuelo M. (5/5)

Staple of my routine

"My 4th bottle of the Bakuchiol+Peptides and will rebuy when this one is done too. My skin is too sensitive for retinoids so this is perfect for me. No irritation, no purge and my skin is softer and smoother than ever. My 11s are also invisible again. I love how long it lasts, one bottle does more than 6 months daily use for me so well worth the investment."

— Beth N. (5/5)

My favourite retinol alternative

"I have been using this for about 3 years as a retinol alternative. My skin is very reactive to retinol even with small amounts and once a week. However, this is a great alternative that I couldn't be without. It absorbs nicely into my skin and helps me to prevent fine lines."

— Patricia M. (5/5)

etkisi yok

"2,5 - 3 aydır sabırla kullanıyorum ama hiçbir etkisini görmediğimi üzülerek söylüyorum. Cilt bakımı yaptırmaya gittiği uzman tavsiye etmişti ama bende işe yaramadı. Yapısı ince ama yağlı olduğu için kullanımı bence gerçekten zor bir üründü."

Texture douce non collante

"Très bon sérum pour les peaux matures et sensibles qui ne supportent pas le retinol , les rides et ridules ont nettement diminué"

— Najila K. (5/5)

Perfect retinol alternative

"I got this as a regional alternative as ttc and very happy so far 😊 seems like it will last longer than expected too"

— Sophie G. (5/5)

Q&A

Hi, can i use this with eyelift peptides and crystal retinal eye 3? And if so in which order
Hi Emma! Yes, you can use it alongside Eyelift Peptides and Crystal Retinal Eye 3. Ideally, we’d suggest alternating Eyelift Peptides and Crystal Retinal Eye 3 (for example, peptides in the morning and retinal in the evening). If you’d prefer to use both in the same routine, apply Eyelift Peptides first, allow it to absorb, and then follow with Crystal Retinal Eye 3.
Can I apply this Bakuchiol Peptides on the skin surrounding the eyes and the corners of the nose? When I was using prescribed tretinoin, I needed to avoid these areas, so I want to know if its the same for your Bakuchiol Peptides.
Hi Zee, thanks so much for your question! We’d always recommend checking with your doctor, dermatologist, or prescriber before stopping tretinoin or switching to a non-prescription retinoid. Our Bakuchiol Peptides are designed for use on the face, but we don’t recommend applying them to the delicate skin around the eyes but this is fine to be used directly on the corners of the nose!
Does this go on before or after tetra luxe advanced?
Hi Aisha, Bakuchiol Peptides, as it is oil-based, would be applied prior to your C Tetra Advanced.
Can I use this alongside crystal retinal?
Hi Soraya, you certainly can. Bakuchiol Peptides would be applied prior to Crystal retinal.
What is the difference between this serum and the liquid pepide serum? Do I need both?
Hi Lisa, great question! Bakuchiol Peptides is an oil-based serum containing Bakuchiol - a plant-based alternative to Retinol. Liquid Peptides is a water-based serum to help plump and hydrate the skin and to boost the results of an existing CSA regime. If you would like any tailored recommendations, please feel free to contact us at customercare@medik8.com and we will be more than happy to advise further. Thanks, Medik8.
