Medik8 Hydr8 B5
Medik8 Hydr8 B5 is Medik8's original hyaluronic acid serum: a lightweight, oil-free liquid rehydration serum that floods multiple layers of the skin with multi-weight hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, leaving it visibly plumped, supple and cushion-soft. It is the hydrating serum for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin that wants fast, long-lasting moisture without a trace of greasiness.
Where many hyaluronic acid serums use a single molecular weight, Medik8 blends small, medium and large molecules so hydration is distributed evenly through the skin's many layers rather than sitting on the surface. Vitamin B5 (panthenol) helps the skin hold on to that moisture while supporting its natural regeneration for a visibly plumper look. The whole formula runs to just seven ingredients, with no oil, fragrance or alcohol. In Medik8's independent four-week consumer study on 57 participants, skin felt instantly quenched and more comfortable, felt more hydrated within 7 days, 86% agreed their skin looked plumper after 4 weeks and 98% agreed Medik8 Hydr8 B5 layered well under make-up.
