FAQS
What's the difference between Hydr8 B5 and Hydr8 B5 Intense? +

Hydr8 B5 is Medik8's original, bestselling hyaluronic acid serum – lightweight and ideal for maintaining daily hydration in normal or sensitive skin types.

Hydr8 B5 Intense is the supercharged version, fortified with:

  • Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) for superior moisture binding
  • Saskatoon berry to protect your skin's natural hyaluronic acid
  • Soy extract to stimulate your skin's own HA production
  • A more intensive formulation for dehydrated skin needing a serious boost

Choose Hydr8 B5 for everyday maintenance; choose Intense when your skin is parched, recovering from treatments, or exposed to dehydrating environments.

How quickly will I see results? +

You'll notice an immediate improvement in how your skin feels – softer, more comfortable, less tight.

Clinical trials showed:

  • 24 hours: Visible improvement in skin hydration
  • 1 week: Noticeably plumper, more supple skin
  • 4 weeks: Significant improvement in skin firmness and moisture retention

For best results, use consistently morning and evening.

Can I use this with my retinol or Crystal Retinal? +

Absolutely – in fact, it's an ideal pairing. Apply Hydr8 B5 Intense first after cleansing, then layer Crystal Retinal on top. The hyaluronic acid helps buffer any potential dryness from retinoids while enhancing the skin-firming results.

This is especially helpful when starting a new retinoid or during the winter months when skin tends to be drier.

Why is the serum purple? +

The distinctive purple colour comes from saskatoon berry, a Canadian superfood rich in anthocyanin antioxidants. This natural colour may vary slightly between batches depending on the berry harvest – this is completely normal and doesn't affect performance.

Will this work in cold or dry climates? +

Yes – this is clinically proven to maintain hydration in challenging environments including cold weather, dry indoor air (central heating, air conditioning), and during travel. The multi-layered approach means moisture is locked in rather than evaporating, making it especially effective when environmental conditions work against your skin.

Can I use this during pregnancy? +

Yes. Hydr8 B5 Intense does not contain any ingredients that Medik8 recommends avoiding during pregnancy. It's an excellent choice for keeping skin hydrated during pregnancy when hormonal changes can affect skin moisture levels.
