The Hydrating B5 Gel is a lightweight gel-serum that replenishes skin moisture and supports the skin barrier. It’s suitable for people who want a non-greasy hydrator for dehydrated, sensitive or post-treatment skin and for anyone looking for a smoothing layer under moisturiser or makeup.

What it is

How to use

• AM: cleanse, apply 2–3 drops and gently press over face and neck, follow with your moisturiser and apply broad‑spectrum SPF.
• PM: cleanse, apply 2–3 drops to damp skin, then layer with a nightly moisturiser or oil as needed.
• Use daily for best results. If you have sensitive skin, patch test before regular use.

Why it works

• Hyaluronic acid — attracts and holds moisture to give immediate plumping and smoothness.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — supports comfort and helps maintain the skin’s barrier.
• Urea — provides gentle smoothing to reduce rough patches and improve texture.

What to expect

• Immediate: skin feels softer and more supple after the first use.
• Days: visible reduction in tightness and dry patches with consistent twice‑daily use.
• Weeks: improved overall skin texture and more resilient barrier function when used as part of a regular routine.
