Reviews

Perfect for when your skin needs extra hydration

"Took this on a 3 week trip during the heatwave and used it every night after cleansing and before advanced night restore. It lasted the entire trip and helped my sensitive, hot skin feel refreshed and hydrated after a long day's sightseeing. It absorbed quickly with no tackiness. Skin was smooth, plump with no irritation. Will repurchase again!"

Quality HA serum

"I am very happy with this HA serum. There are so many on the market, and I have tried several… so far this one is my favorite. The texture is very light but unlike others, I like the way it absorbs into my skin easily and helps boost hydration before moisturizing. Once I put my makeup on there is a noticeable subtle plumping in my cheeks. I appreciate the supportive ingredients like B5, as well as the price point."

My Skin Drinks This Up

"I have very dry skin, and Hydr8 B5 Intense has been such a great addition to my routine. I love the lightweight texture and how easily it layers with my other products while still giving my skin substantial hydration. My skin feels softer, smoother and noticeably more comfortable after using it, without feeling greasy or overloaded. I especially appreciate having a hydrating serum that I can pair with stronger treatments and exfoliants when I want to keep the rest of my routine focused on hydration. This is definitely one of the Medik8 products I've really enjoyed using."

Truly Love Hydra8 B5 but I love. . . all Products

"I am so glad I discovered these products--my skin was good but now absolutely fresh & almost perfect. I even get compliments again--"you're complexion is so lovely" -I haven't rec'd a compliment on my skin in a long time--it is fresh--dewy--glowing again-- I use this before Vitamin C--and both are amazing --I couldn't be more thrilled! Fine lines & wrinkles are noticeably smoother--and the texture has improved quite alot- no fragrance just pure goodness."

Amazing Hydration Without the Stickiness

"I’ve been really impressed with the Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense. Application and Appearance are good. Size is also good for Travel. It feels silky and lightweight on the skin, absorbs quickly, and gives an instant boost of hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin looks noticeably plumper, smoother and more radiant, especially when it feels dry or dehydrated. I also love how soft my skin feels after using it. A little goes a long way, making it an easy step to add to both my morning and evening routine. Definitely worth trying if you want deeply hydrated, healthy-looking skin."

Awesome Product

"Awesome serum, I personally struggle with dry skin, and this product I've found to be a great base that locks in the moisture from your moisturiser (applied afterwards). I would say there is a difference between the other normal serum, the intense version is definitely worth the price differential!!"

Alina H. (5/5)

Fantastic base for any regime

"Used this for a few years - ever since they brought out the product and the difference in how my skin looks and feels is great. I wouldn’t use anything else. Often receive comments that I look much younger than my age"

Steven (5/5)

Brilliant

"I have been using this product for over6minths and I feel it is making my skin so much softer and smoother. My skin has always been prone to dryness but the difference this lotion makes is better than any other I have used before."

Elizabeth Q. (5/5)

Love this!!

"I purchased Hydra8 B5 Intense Daily Serum primarily to use as prep before makeup application. And it does that very nicely. It absorbs quickly, makes skin soft and supple, refines texture and truly hydrates and plumps the skin. Over time it has become irreplaceable in my skin care regimen. I use it am and pm. It truly leaves your skin hydrated and glowing. Like all of the Medik8 products I’ve tried…it performs as advertised. LOVE IT!!"

Amazing product

"I really love your products and have absolutely no complaints about the quality. I just have a suggestion regarding the hyaluronic acid cap: when I use it after applying any other product (in my case, vitamin C from your brand), it’s always quite difficult to open the hyaluronic acid bottle because the cap is made of glossy metal and my hands are very moisturized after applying the vitamin C. Maybe you could consider adding some ridges to the cap. Thank you"

Q&A

Can this be used for micro needling please
Hi Deb, we are afraid that Hydr8 B5 Intense has not been tested alongside microneedling, however, the usage of the original Hydr8 B5 alongside microneedling has been independently assessed by an external safety assessor as well as trialled in-house, with no adverse results.
Could I use this before the liquid peptides advanced serum? I ask because I’m going to bump up to crystal retinal 10 and I want extra hydration to keep my skin from getting too dry.
Hi Hanah, thanks for your question. You can apply Hydr8 B5 Intense before your Liquid Peptides Advanced MP serum. It’s a great way to boost hydration and help maintain moisture levels in your skin, especially when you’re moving up to Crystal Retinal 10. This regime will give your skin extra support and comfort.
My skin barrier is damaged causing me to have red, dry flaky and tight skin on my face. Would this product be suitable in trying to rebuild my skin barrier?
Hi Natasha, we're sorry to hear that you have an upset skin barrier. Hydr8 B5 Intense is a great option to intensely hydrate and nourish your skin. I would also recommend our Ultimate Recovery Cream, which will comfort very dry, compromised skin, all year round.
Hi, I use press & clear exfoliating toner first, then the hydra b5 intense serum, followed by the vitamin C tetra luxe in the mornings. However, after applying the vitamin C my skin starts peeling skin cells almost as if exfoliating. This has never happened before and I fear I am putting the B5 intense serum only to take it off accidentally moments later. I am following instructions but am I doing something wrong? Everyone swears by the combination of these two products but it leaves my skin feeling icky and unclean with skin cells all over it, making makeup application difficult. Should I try putting the B5 serum after vitamin C?
Hi Stefani, it does sound like you might be experiencing 'piling', also known as 'roll-off'. Our layering guide is water-oil-emulsion, however, if you are experiencing piling, I would recommend using your Hydr8 B5 in the evening, and using your Press & Clear, followed by your C Tetra Luxe, and see if this alleviates the issue. Please also ensure that you are applying the recommended amount of drops/pumps of each product to ensure each serum aborbs into your skin.
My evening regime is Cleanser, Press & Glow, Liquid Peptide 30% complex, Crystal Retinal 3, Advanced Night Restore. I now would like to add the Hydr8 B5 Intense. Is this OK with me existing regime? If yes, after which step should I apply it? Thanks
Hi Sharon, Hydr8 B5 Intense is a perfect addition to any routine. We would advise applying this before your Liquid Peptides in your current regime. Thanks,Medik8.
