Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides™ Dupes & Cheaper Alternatives

A thin peptide-and-niacinamide booster that sits before moisturizer and helps later steps sink in. People with dry, dull, or retinoid-stressed skin like the extra hydration; acne-prone and sensitive folks report breakouts or flushing.

A growth-factor serum built for people chasing firmer-looking, more even aging skin, especially around the eyes and fine lines. The big catch is the $300-ish price and the fact that some users see modest, not dramatic, change.

A watery centella ampoule that people use before moisturizer or tret. It suits irritated, dehydrated, or barrier-damaged skin. On very reactive faces, it can sting, break out, or do basically nothing.

A watery peptide serum that people use on forehead, 11s, and crow’s feet. It suits folks chasing temporary softening or a stopgap before Botox. Don’t expect permanent wrinkle reversal, and some users break out.
