Does your skin need a little extra love? I know my skin needs constant love and care to look it’s best. Although I have combination skin, it tends to get a bit dehydrated whether it’s from flying, constant exposure to air-conditioning or just because it needs a little TLC. My go to serum to perk up my skin is SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. This serum is pure magic trapped in a little bottle. I’m completely obsessed and smitten with it. When it’s really hot and humid, I just use this solo as a moisturizer (my face can get rather shiny), but in colder climates, I use it as a serum under my moisturizer.
What It Is:
A moisture-enhancing gel serum that binds moisture to the skin and replenishes nutrients, leaving it feeling (and looking) smoother, younger and healthier.
The Lowdown:
- leaves skin feeling supple & smooth
- maximizes the benefits of your daily moisturizer
- hydrates & heals skin
- locks in moisture without feeling oily
- great for all skin types (oily skinned peeps included)
- calms redness, prevents peeling & promotes cell turnover
What’s In It:
- pantothenic acid aka B5 (moisturizes & repairs tissue)
- sodium hyaluronate aka hyaluronic acid (the body’s natural hydrator- binds moisture to the skin)
This serum is great for people with sensitive skin, and works great when your skin’s extra sensitive (after microdermabrasion or a chemical peel for example). You can also use it if you have the occasional breakout, or full blown acne. Some people even claim that it’s helped their acne heal, but I can’t vouch for that myself. I can say, however, that it restores lost moisture to your skin and leaves it extra supple and hydrated. That ‘tight’ feeling skin can get sometimes? Yep, this stuff is the cure to it.
It’s about 78 USD for 30 ML, which is on the pricey side, but you only need two to there drops so it does last a really long time. If you’re looking for a new serum, I would HIGHLY recommend you try this one out.
Hope everyone has a lovely day!
