A Must-Have for Hydrated, Healthy-Looking Skin!

"I’ve been loving the Medik8 B5 serum! It has a lightweight texture that absorbs beautifully into the skin without feeling sticky or greasy. It provides a nice boost of hydration, leaving my skin feeling soft, plump, and smooth throughout the day. I especially love how well it layers with the rest of my skincare routine. If you have dehydrated skin or want to maintain a healthy, hydrated skin barrier, this is definitely worth trying. A little goes a long way, and it’s a great addition to any skincare routine. Definitely a 5-star product! ✨"

Hydr8 B5

"I don't use as much as recommended, I feel it goes a long way. Yes feels a little runny at first but goes on lovely and dries in seconds. It makes my tight skin feel lovely, glowly. My skin is very hormonal breakouts but since using my 3 steps it's soooo much better."

— Julie S. (5/5)

A gift I’ll definitely repurchase

"I received Hydr8 B5 as a Black Friday gift and have really enjoyed using it. I love the texture and how my skin looks and feels afterwards. So pleased I got to try it, I’ll definitely buy it again."

Good hydration

"Great serum on its own with moisturiser, though I find since adding Advanced Peptides and Terra C, it doesn't blend well with my final mineral SPF during the day, and I actually don't need it. I now use this on my neck and chest as I tend to neglect these areas."

Probably my favourite product in my routine

"I use this daily on damp skin as my first step after cleansing and it instantly hydrates to the point that it brightens and minimises fine lines from dehydration. Obsessed with this stuff but make sure you know how to use it properly so that it gets absorbed"

Snoothing

"I use this along side oil based cleanser from medik 8 , gives me amazing glow and gets rid of all make up and mascara! leaving my fresh soft and fresh. Previous cleansers from different brands use to itritate my skin to the point my eye is would be burning and my face was raw , since using this I no longer have any issues when I cleanse my face apart from fresh glowy expierance !"

Love this product, my skin

"Love this product, my skin feels so plump, moisturised and glowing, I use it in my morning and evening skincare regime and I have really noticed a difference to my skin"

— Kelly T. (5/5)

I like it but like the Intense version better

"I tried this formula to see the difference between it and the Intense version. Although I can still tell that my skin feels more hydrated when using this formula, my skin is quite dry due to underlying health conditions, and I prefer the Intense version for my skin. If I had less dry and dehydrated skin, I’m sure this would be more than sufficient."

— Whitney Q. (4/5)

A hydration essential

"Hydr8 B5 is one of those products I always like having in my routine. It gives my skin a lovely boost of hydration without feeling heavy or sticky. My skin feels softer, smoother and more comfortable after using it. I have dry skin, so I especially appreciate how well it helps maintain hydration throughout the day. The travel size is also perfect for taking with me."

— Inna K. (5/5)

Doesn’t suit my skin

"After trying this product I feel like it isn’t very hydrating at all, even though the product is very watery. I use a lot of medik8 products and just feel this one doesnt suit my skin"

Q&A

How do you combine this product with vitamin c and liquid peptide advance?
Hi Geraldine. Apply Hydr8 B5 first to boost hydration, then your Vitamin C, followed by Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, and finish with your moisturiser and SPF in the morning.
Do I use this 1st or the peptide 1st ? Thanks x
Hi Sara, it does depend which Peptides product you are referring to. Generally, we recommend layering in the order of water-oil-emulsion, which means Hydr8 B5 would be first.
Can this be used around the eye area also?
Hi Stephen, thank you for your question! The Hydr8 B5 serum is gentle enough to use around the eye area; however, we recommend avoiding the eyelids, as this may cause irritation. Thanks, Medik8 Team
Can we use to do micro needling with this? Is it safe to use with the derma pen to glide on skin ? I
Hello Albina, thanks for your question! Yes, Hydr8 B5 is generally safe to use with microneedling or a dermapen. This hydrating serum, with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, helps soothe and hydrate the skin after microneedling, supporting a quicker recovery. However, we always recommend checking with the Derma Pen manufacturer to be sure. Thanks, Medik8 Team
Can this serum be used with a microneedling pen?
Hello Julia, Applying Hydr8 B5 after Microneedling is great because it contains hyaluronic acid, which helps restore moisture without irritating the skin Hydr8 also helps to soothe and hydrate the skin post-microneedling, promoting faster recovery and ensuring your skin stays plump and hydrated. Thanks, Medik8 Team
