I love the b5 its just what I need after a Sunburn to lock in my moisture!
Chauh
This serum was one of the first purchases I made from SkinCeuticals and now I can’t live without it! My skin is super dry and this serum has helped with completely getting rid of my dry flaky skin. Try it and you will love it.
Elizabeth
If you have cystic, hormonal, or bad acne, stop using moisturizers immediately. This is your new go-to paired with sunscreen and the phyto gel, legit your face will never be more clear, happier, glowy, moisturized, even-colored, less inflamed, and with fewer breakouts. This is a miracle product for stubborn acne. It works with your skin microbiome. My skin is beyond sensitive and this is the first product to truly work and even reduce old scarring and dark spots. Dont sleep on this product. Life-changing.
Lena
Well packed and received. Price is cheaper than from a clinic doctor, though the bottle feels different. Texture seems the same, and since the product is scentless, it's hard to compare. I'll update if anything is wrong.
Rhonda
SO moisturizing! This product changed my skin in the best way possible. It immediately gave me wonderful hydration, unlike any product I've ever used. I've used this product for at least a decade and won't be putting it to the side EVER. So thankful my dermatologist suggested it!
Sarah
Like a glass of water for your skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and Seborrheic Dermatitis, and this product is like a soothing drink of water for your skin. I have to exfoliate to remove the dry dead skin, but this makes it instantly feel better. It absorbs so quickly, is light, and never greasy. Great to use year-round, especially in cooler months when the air is dry.
Dee
This hydrating B5 serum is probably my favorite product from this brand. It’s amazing for hydrating, especially after flying or in hot, humid climates. I used it for three weeks, and it made my skin look great—hydrated and refreshed. I highly recommend this product.
Dianne
Daily use. I like the price, it's not as expensive as other products. I use it after vitamin C serum. It’s light, and a little goes a long way for face, neck, and chest. Then I moisturize. It’s part of my daily routine.
Jamie
I originally tried this at the recommendation of my dermatologist while adjusting to Tretinoin. I didn’t see results at first but decided to repurchase it two years later, and now I love it. My skin is hydrated, with tighter pores, an even tone, and a bit of a glow. I will continue to repurchase this product.
Christine
Serum of the gods. I once asked a reality TV chef with amazing skin what her secret was. She said lots of facials and this serum. I followed suit and my skin has never been better. This is like an expensive drink of water for your skin. Even with oily skin, hydration is key. Get facials, but in between, use this and your skin will look amazing too!
Prescilla
This product changed my skin in an amazing way! I have sensitive, combination skin with hyperpigmentation. My dermatologist recommended this, and although I was hesitant, it has helped tremendously. I see a huge difference when I don’t use it, as the redness flares up again.
Amy
Great hydrating serum for dry skin. I have been using the hydrating serum for years. It is part of my daily routine, morning and evening. It is also my "rescue serum" for dry hands and lips. I have tried other products, but always come back to this one. It is very light and keeps my skin hydrated. It absorbs quickly, so you dont have to wait before applying other serums or face creams.
Becca
This is my go-to for hydration. Ive been using this product for about a year now and thought I could go without it. Nope! After 2 weeks without it, my skin was dry, starting to sag, and show its age. Immediately after restarting, within 5 days, I noticed plump, firm, vibrant skin—my friends even commented, asking, “Wow, your skin looks amazing! What did you do?!”
Lily
I use this serum when my skin feels dry or tight. It has more slip than other products from this line and feels like silk on my skin. I like alternating between this and the more intense hyaluronic acid from the same line. Both work well and provide different textures for my skin’s needs.
Briana
Great moisturizing serum. This serum layers really well on top of the vitamin c serum I use, without leaving too much texture or sitting on top of the skin. I feel it does help keep my skin more moisturized and healthy. My only complaints are that its pricey, and it has a weird almost soapy texture when I first put it on, which I dont love. Once it absorbs, that goes away, but it's not the most pleasant sensation.
Nicole
I love this gel! It’s unassuming yet powerful and really adds hydration. It only has a few ingredients, making it easy to add to any routine. It needs extra time to absorb, or it can pill, but one or two drops do the trick. Worth the price.
Denise
I can not say enough good things about this product! Because I have sensitive skin, my esthetician informed me about the benefits of using a barrier serum. When I received Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel, I noticed right away that it instantly felt cool and hydrating on my skin. It also spread easily and left no residue. Within about a week, I noticed that my skin looked plumper (more hydrated) and brighter. I continue to use two drops, both morning and night. Although it's a great product, it would be nice to explore less expensive alternatives.
Emily
I have been using this product for the last year, and it instantly hydrates my skin, which tends to get very dry because of the climate I live in. I alternate it with another product, and the results have been very evident—my skin looks more hydrated, plump, and youthful.
Jen
I really liked this hydrating gel; it did exactly what it said it would. I got a deluxe sample, and my skin drank this stuff up. I never purchased the full size due to the price—when I tried this, hyaluronic acid was becoming extremely popular, and I felt like I could find a cheaper option. Im currently using a different hyaluronic serum, but I dont think I like the consistency as much as Skinceuticals. This one really glides on and feels more expensive. Maybe I'll reconsider and make a full-size purchase.
Ara
Since I have dry skin and it is wintertime in the Midwest, I knew I needed to step up my moisturizing game. This product makes a noticeable difference in the feel and look of my skin. However, if you have dry skin, this product needs to be used with others because it isn’t enough by itself for all-day hydration. It is light and spreads well, helping heavier products glide on smoothly.
Essie
A game changer! I have used this daily for the past 4 years, and it's a must-have for me. This serum has healed my acne-prone, rosacea skin. I was on prescription topical medications for 10 years, and now, thanks to this, my skin feels and looks clear and healthy!
Bella
I had been struggling with eczema for months and nothing worked until I tried this B5 gel. Within two weeks, my eczema disappeared, and I haven’t had any flare-ups since. This product is my ride-or-die, and I highly recommend it for anyone battling dry skin.
Emily
SkinCeuticals B5 hyaluronic acid serum. I use this product at night. It not only feels good on your skin but keeps your skin hydrated and firm. I will continue using this product. Recommended by my dermatologist.
Elizabeth
This hydrating serum is a favorite for both me and my hubby! I have oily/combination and acne-prone skin, and B5 Gel is an awesome lightweight moisturizer for me. It doesn’t trigger breakouts and soaks right into my skin, making it soft and balanced. My hubby has dry skin, especially prone to flakiness in his beard, and this product keeps his skin soft and smooth without dryness. We both highly recommend it!
Kaylah
Feels smooth, hydration! This is my first time using this product. I have severe dry skin that is non-stop flaking and it's causing me deep wrinkles. This serum feels great, but I haven't fully been able to tell if it's working yet. I am also trying other products and still testing for improvement.
Grace
I have dry skin that sometimes breaks out. This B5 gel hydrates my skin without causing breakouts. It also helps with flaky skin when I use retinol. I use it with other products from this brand, and my skin looks great. One drop is all I need to cover my face and neck, so this bottle will last a long time.
Emily
This product is ideal for all skin types because it is an oil-free moisturizing serum. It helps to increase overall hydration with a combination of vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid. That said, you dont want to skip your moisturizer. Use the serum and a moisturizer. You wont be disappointed!
Clara
Ive Used It for 25 Years. What makes this product so different in such a good way is the fact that it isnt complicated. Like many other products in this line, it has pure, simple, refined ingredients. This means its gentle, absorbs easily, leaves no residue, wont clog pores, and is hypoallergenic. It can be layered with other products, but I like to use it alone, overnight, because I wake up in the morning with my skin looking and feeling refreshed.
Olivia
The Hydrating B5 Gel has made a noticeable improvement in my skin’s hydration and reduced my mild crow’s feet. I use it at bedtime over another serum and under my night moisturizer. It enhances the hydration of my moisturizer and leaves my skin smooth, calm, and brighter. I alternate it with the Hyaluronic Intensifier serum.
Vicki
This is a great serum for every single person with skin. B5 keeps the skin soft and is anti-inflammatory. Great for acne and rosacea. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that helps the skin receive free-flowing water in the tissue. In the summer, I can use the B5 gel as my main moisturizer. In the winter, I will use this before a moisturizer.
Aileen
Everything breaks me out, but this gel doesn’t. It provides moisture without causing breakouts, and I can mix it with other powdered treatments like vitamin C or niacinamide. I use it on skin moistened with a mist, followed by a serum and moisturizer. It’s a basic I buy again and again.
Kate
Perfect gel moisturizer. This is great! I just purchased a few products recommended by my dermatology medical spa. This works wonders, especially after applying the vitamin C serum. You just need a drop per skin area and you’re set.
Denise
I received a sample of this and as soon as I had used it up, I had to buy another bottle. I am 66 and my skin is sensitive and dehydrated. This gel makes such a difference. It is soothing to apply, and I’ve noticed a visible improvement in the smoothness and texture of my skin.
Thanh
I have just known Skinceuticals in some recent years thanks to my friend's recommendation, and according to her, I must try Hydrating B5 Gel first. I usually dont believe in products with hype, but this is an exception. Its simple design with the name also tells you about the main ingredient and its function. And it works, like what it says. Your skin would be right away hydrated and smooth. One more bonus, this serum is very gentle and can be used for every type of skin. I did suggest this one to countless friends, and everyone feels so happy and satisfied.
Hannah
I am a first-time user of this product. I use it every time after I shower in the morning and at night before bed. It is smooth, easy to apply, absorbs quickly, leaves no residue, and has no smell. Two drops cover my face, neck, and décolletage. My skin is smooth, and I’ve had no negative reactions. I plan on using it for several months to see the full effects.
Megan
I love this serum! It goes on clear without residue. It leaves a bit of stickiness until it fully dries. A little goes a long way. Overall pleased with what it has done for my skin. I use it after using another serum and before a cooling serum. Im glad I switched to this formula as it is thicker than the one I was using and seems to work better for my combination skin.
Lucy
I have sensitive combination skin. The B5 gel is a great addition to my routine along with Vitamin C and a light moisturizer. This regimen works well for me, and I also use retinol at night. The B5 gel helps my skin stay healthy, although the price is a bit high, so I use it every other night now.
Anonymous
So light and hydrating. I have dry skin and find this serum a perfect addition to my skincare routine. It goes on super light and absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling fresh and ready for the next step. I add this in the morning after applying another serum, and it smooths and hydrates the skin.
Linda
I have mature skin and have tried different hyaluronic acid serums, but this is the best for my skin. It hydrates, doesn’t clog pores, and provides an actual glow. I see improvements in hydration and skin repair, with no dryness or flakiness. This is an excellent product, especially combined with other products from the brand.
Makayla
10/10 recommend. A minimal amount goes a long way. Two drops are perfect for my face and neck. It spreads nicely onto my skin and feels so luxurious. It adds moisture, which makes me love it even more.
Mandy
I received a sample of the Hydrating B5 Gel and used it for 3 days. Only a few drops were needed for my entire face and neck. I saw an improvement in my marionette lines and rough, sensitive areas—they looked relieved, smooth, and more even-toned. Fine lines were plumped out, and dry skin was gone. This product provides great moisture and is super gentle.
Anonymous
A hydrating dream. I didn't love the texture of some other products, but when I discovered this B5 serum with hyaluronic acid, I was sold. This product keeps my skin insanely hydrated and feeling like it could bounce because it's so hydrated. I highly recommend it. I apply it to my face, neck, and décolletage, then follow with moisturizers. I wake up feeling very hydrated.
Christina
After using this B5 serum, I am impressed with the results and will continue to use it in my skincare routine. The serum comes in a glass bottle with a twist on/off pipette applicator, allowing you to easily and hygienically control how much product comes out. The texture is a slightly thin gel that feels very lightweight. I applied two drops of this serum as a moisturizer to my face, neck, and chest. This product absorbed into my skin, leaving it soft, supple, and smooth with no stickiness.
Lily
Great daytime serum to wear under moisturizer. I like to press into skin then apply SPF over. It keeps my skin very soft and is gentle enough for me to use around my eyes. I dont think this is moisturizing enough to use alone, but I like how it works underneath something. For night, I prefer a stronger serum, but for day, this is pretty great. Its not the best serum they make, but its good for moderately dry skin. It can be pricy, but you only need 3-5 drops.
Bethany
Lovely feel. My skin has been so wonderful since switching to these products. I use this gel as a stand-alone moisturizer in the day, layered over my vitamin C and discoloration defense. My skin has never been better. I quit exfoliating as much too. Once you find what works for you, you've struck gold, and the stress of looking for products disappears.
Ngan
Best moisturizer for oily skin. Somehow it works amazingly on my sensitive, prone skin. It feels like water at first but then becomes a gel when applied. It absorbs into the skin faster than anything I've used. My skin feels dry to the touch after applying, but it stays moisturized all day long. It controls my pores well, and I no longer need oil remover paper. If you want a clean, moisturized face with a lightweight product, go for it!
Sophia
My skin has been feeling smooth and amazing. I have been receiving compliments on my skin lately since I started using this product two months ago. It helps maintain my skin looking youthful and doesn't feel greasy. However, it doesn't last very long—I already need a second bottle. I use it twice a day.
Mcorrine
As a person who has battled oily skin my whole life, Ive finally found a moisturizing booster that does not clog my pores, and I cannot do without. This has been a solid staple in my skincare routine for well over a year now and will continue to be for as long as I can get my hands on it. It glides on silky smooth, and a little goes a long way. Leaves skin feeling bouncy and soft. Pairs really well with a vitamin C serum. Absolutely love this product.
Mai
This gel serum is fantastic for my dry skin. I use it in both my day and night skincare routines for that much-needed hydration boost. At night, I apply it before my moisturizer or mix them together for my face and neck. During the day, I apply it before my daily moisturizer to hydrate my thirsty skin. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t cause breakouts, and keeps my skin hydrated and supple.
Emily
I have sensitive skin with acne scars. It helps to lighten my scars and soothes my sensitive skin. Have been using for the past year. Definitely recommend this product.
Katherine
Wow, this stuff goes fast! While SkinCeuticals vitamin C serums last for months, this hydrating gel was used up in about two months. Maybe I used too many drops at a time. It is viscous and a bit slimy, but absorbs quickly and leaves no residue. My skin didn’t feel extra hydrated throughout the day, and I didn’t notice any long-term effects. It is hydrating, but not enough for me to repurchase.
Imelda
My most favorite skincare product ever. I started using this brand about 3 years ago. My skin has never been clearer, brighter, firmer, with no more clogged pores or brown spots. Totally devoted. These products, along with their eye cream, are my daily morning routine.
Teresa
I only received this yesterday and have used it twice, but I’m already in love. A little goes a long way. It feels a bit tacky at first but dries quickly, and I woke up with my skin feeling so moisturized. I think I’ve found the winning combination for my routine.
Rachel
I am already a fan but this one might just be my favorite! This product has truly made THE difference for my skin in the winter. I would struggle with dry skin due to the cold weather but using this product at the end of my nighttime routine changes that. I wake up now with moisturized, refreshed skin. Definitely recommend.
Emma
I received a sample of this product and absolutely loved it. The gel isn’t sticky and is amazing at hydrating my skin after cleansing and toning. I’ve noticed a visible difference in my skin's moisture, and even my colleagues have complimented me on my glowing skin. The pipette provides the perfect measurement with no waste.
Anna
I think it gives me more hydration. I wanted something to add to my routine that would add more moisture to my skin. In the morning, I use the serum first, then moisturizer, then the serum again, and finally sunscreen. You just have to be very careful to put on very thin layers or otherwise it will pill. I think I will use it again.
Gigi
This was my least favorite product from this brand. I bought it to use as hydration over another serum, but it did not do the job. I have dry skin, and while it felt great upon application, it left my skin feeling dry and uncomfortable. No matter what I wore on top of it, it pilled under makeup. I love everything else I am using from this brand, but unfortunately, this one was not right for me.
Kaitlyn
I received this product as a sample on a previous order and I was able to get about two weeks of use. I worked this into my daily routine; washing my face, applying 1-2 drops of this gel and letting my skin soak up the product, then applying my moisturizer. After a day or two, I noticed my skin looked more revived, refreshed, hydrated, and plump. I suffer from acne breakouts and use very drying prescription medications which sometimes leave dry patches on my face. Within the two weeks, I saw a difference in how my skin looked and felt, and noticed the dry patches were almost non-existent.
Noa
Yes 10000 percent YES. I have very sensitive skin so finding hydrating products is very difficult and Im always super nervous to try something new. I was recommended this by a friend because Im on tretinoin and my skin has done a 180. I paired it with my face moisturizer and will sometimes put a drop in my body moisturizer - incredible. My skin is so soft and feels so hydrated. Ive noticed a decrease in breakouts and sun spots too!
Laraine
I've been surprised at how well this gel has worked for my older, very dry skin. I use it both at night and during the day under another product for added moisture. It has made a noticeable difference in my complexion, which is now brighter and smoother. Only two drops are needed to cover my whole face.
Lolli
Noticeable Difference. This product was recommended to me by an esthetician. I have used the B3 Gel together with another cream for the last couple of months. The difference in my skin has been so noticeable that I have convinced three coworkers to purchase this product. I have not had dry skin since beginning this product. It truly is life changing for me and worth every penny!
Margaret
I've been using this product for over a year and it helps to retain moisture. It’s not sticky, so it works well with makeup, and a little goes a long way. One drop spreads nicely and absorbs well. Definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it.
LDF
Nice texture and hydrating. My husband uses this twice a day as recommended by his dermatologist and has not had dry skin since. He pairs it with a light moisturizer from the same line and is very pleased. I have used it as well, and compared to other similar serums, it has a much better texture and dries smoother.
Stephanie
SkinCeuticals products have always been my top choice for slowing down the aging process. This gel is a great addition to my routine. A small amount covers my entire face and neck, and the results are impressive—smooth skin with reduced fine lines and a more even tone. I highly recommend it.
Sarah
Pure moisture. This serum is like liquid humidity—its clear moisture. No cream or scent, so it immediately absorbs and makes my skin happy. Great to use after my C E Ferulic, before sunscreen or rich moisturizer. Also love it over retinol.
Quynh
I often go to a Med Spa for laser treatment. My doctor recommended this product for my skincare routine. I have been using these products for about 3 years. The product I like the most is Hydrating B5 Gel. It helps moisturize the skin and has an amazing ability to restore skin after damage. It has no smell, no color, no sticky feeling on skin, and absorbs quickly. After each laser treatment, my skin will be irritated, but after one night of use, my skin recovers quickly.
Catherine
Will purchase again. This was my first purchase of the B5 Gel. I had used another hyaluronic line but this gel is superior and not drying as some acids can be on your skin. It truly hydrates my skin. It is lightweight and easily absorbed. I follow up with a light layer of moisturizer. I will definitely reorder and keep the B5 Gel as part of my lineup.
Mia
This serum is a lifesaver for dry skin. It is lightweight, smooth, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. My skin felt hydrated and supple after use. The fragrance is mild, and I experienced no adverse reactions. Overall, great for moisturizing and smoothing skin at a good price!
Emma
Fantastic product. This is the best hydrating gel. It glides on easily and seals in moisture. I use it twice daily and its so gentle on my skin. Its an absolute for my daily routine. Im 50+ but my 21-year-old daughter tried it when she came home from college and loved it so much she swiped my bottle! Fortunately, I subscribe to receive it monthly and now shes buying it too. If you haven't tried it, you should. Its the most gentle form of adding moisture to your skin. I even apply before exercising because its so light but gives you that dewy look while adding moisture. Best skin secret ever!
Tracy
I trust this brand and always acquire this serum when I move to cities with high humidity. It sinks right into the skin, doesn’t melt or slide off, and doesn’t cause breakouts. Sunscreen and makeup apply smoothly afterward, and it helped heal my acne scars as well.
Clara
Excellent for scar mitigation. I always like to have B5 on hand as I have found it to be an excellent gel for scars. I recently had a burn on my hand and remembered that I had used up the gel. It soothes and seems to speed up the healing process. Once the area heals, I continue to use which seems to take the redness away and smooth out the skin.
Sarah
I have been using this serum for years. I have sensitive, acne prone, aging skin and this gives my skin no issues. What it does give my skin is a smoothness under my regular moisturizer that if I stop using I can see a total difference. I highly recommend this product for extra moisturizing under your lotion.
Isabella
My go-to summer moisturizer. In warmer weather, my combination skin gets oily in the T zone. This hyaluronic acid gel provides needed moisture for my aging skin without adding oil, and the hyaluronic acid keeps it plump and smooth. It works really well with serums and SPF…it’s a must-have for me from May-October.
Teresa
I was skeptical about purchasing this Hydrating B5 because of the price. But I decided to give it a shot, and I’m so glad I did! I noticed a difference within days of using it. The tiny lines around my eyes disappeared, and my face is plump and glowing. No more dryness around the eyes and cheeks, even after long hours. I also love that this doesn't cause pilling like other products. It’s pricey but worth it. I will repurchase.
Ellen
B5 not to be used with vitamin C. The B5 is not compatible with vitamin C serum. It diminishes the effectiveness. It was sold as a set. Customers should be aware not to waste money.
Lindsay
I just placed my second order of hydrating B5 gel. I love this serum! My first bottle lasted three months with daily use. My skin feels silky smooth. I definitely see a change in my skin since I started to use these products. I use it every day, and my skin is no longer dry, and it feels silky, soft, and youthful. This stuff definitely works! I feel beautiful.
Jennifer
Really does the job. Although the sample may be small, it works wonders. Im noticing quite a change in my skin texture in a good way. These results are seriously no joke. I would like to purchase, but it’s just way too expensive for me. But hey, if you can afford it, go for it!! Trust me, your skin will thank you!
Stephanie
The consistency of this serum allows for a small amount to cover the entire face and neck. It is not too thin or thick and spreads easily. I was amazed by the results after just one application. My skin is moisturized and maintains a smooth texture. I use this Hydrating B5 Gel along with another serum daily. It is a powerful combination for firmer, beautiful skin.
Tiffany
I love this lightweight hydrating serum, and it's my favorite summer hydrator. It has no scent, is oil-free, and has a silky gel-like texture. It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin looking hydrated. It's light enough for hot days without making your skin oily. In the winter, I use it under moisturizer for an added boost that keeps my skin supple.
Sarah
Bought this because I was instructed to use the B5 gel after another product, but I’m not impressed. I miss using the hyaluronic acid serum, which I used religiously for years. I’ll finish this bottle, but I won’t switch again. If you love the HA serum, don’t change—it works better for me.
Sophia
Skin care. This product was suggested to me by my esthetician. This serum is great for my skin; it hydrates and leaves my skin so soft. I use this at night and wake up with skin that glows. This feels nice on my skin, not at all sticky or greasy. It really seems to leave my skin looking smooth and healthy. Of course, expensive, but worth it.
Kim
I have oily skin and love this gel! My skin looks so radiant. I had only been using it for a week, and someone commented on how radiant my skin appeared! It’s very gentle, absorbs well, and has no tacky feeling. I’m in my mid-40s and had never used hyaluronic acid serum before now, but it’s well worth it! Highly recommend!
Ruzanna
Just a great effect. My skin has really become very moisturized, with a beautiful, natural shine. My complexion is more even, so foundation is no longer needed. Elasticity has increased, and mimic wrinkles are slightly smoothed out. No rashes or redness on my sensitive skin.
Zoe
Repeated purchase as I'm very satisfied with the service. The seller even explains ingredient changes in handwritten notes. Items are always packed well with thick bubble wrap.
Annie
Moisturizing serum. Ive been using this serum for about two weeks and have already noticed a positive difference in the quality and softness of my skin. It helps with dryness, I have mature skin and live in a dry climate, and has even reduced the appearance of hyper-pigmented spots. It goes on smooth, and my skin absorbs it completely. I will continue to use this serum and definitely recommend it.
Grace
I use this gel twice a day before my cream moisturizer. It adds a moisture boost that makes my skin glow. It helps with oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin without making it oilier. It dries quickly and has a silky consistency. Love it!
Jane
Simple but deceiving. Not all hyaluronic acid serums are equal, despite what the internet might tell you. Formulation and sourcing matter, and that's why Im giving this top marks. All you need is two drops for your entire face, and it spreads like a dream, so this will last a while. It makes my skin look plump, hydrated, and healthy. Love it.
Tracy
I really enjoy the Hydrating B5 Gel. You only need about 2 drops of the product for sufficient coverage of the face and chest. It's very slippery when it goes on but dries nicely. I find it really helps to hydrate the skin and locks in moisture as my skin tends to be very dry. I use it prior to moisturizing and sun block.
Anonymous
Unexpectedly impactful! This was the first serum I've tried, and I didn't know what to expect. The texture is almost watery, but it's absolute magic! My winter-dry skin is so much more hydrated and plump when I use it! It works wonders all year long, and it takes only one drop. The bottle lasts forever, so it's a steal considering how little you need.
Addison
Holy Hydration! Love this product. So lightweight and absorbs into the skin almost immediately. I use this gel right before my vitamin C serum, and then follow with another moisturizer. Have seen a huge improvement in my skins hydration—will definitely continue to purchase and have in my routine.
Lisa
This is a product I dont want to love due to the price but I do. It does leave a slight stick to your face, which for me is fine once I massage in my moisturizer. It has not affected my makeup. I have sensitive skin that can be dry from using cream in my night routine. In winter months all of that can be rough. This does help and makes my skin feel plumped up.
Caitlin
Lightweight, fast absorbing. This serum goes on easily with good slip and no significant fragrance. It absorbs nearly instantly and leaves the skin slightly tacky. Layers well with other products. It's not as hydrating as I had hoped, not like a hyaluronic acid serum. Ive not noticed any major therapeutic benefits. I dont think I'll repurchase.
Ellen
Every time I think I won’t reorder the hydrating B5 gel, I end up reordering it. It gives me extra hydration, especially during the winter. I can apply it anytime my face feels dry or itchy, and I can feel the difference the next morning.
Amy
This is hands down one of the best hydrating products I have ever used. I used it consistently in the past and my skin never looked better. I stopped using it and tried other alternatives, but none worked as well. I returned to this product and am so glad. It is so hydrating and creates a luminous glow.
Rebecca
I love this product! I started using it in my 30s, but because I couldn’t consistently afford it, my use was spotty. Now, approaching 60, I use it almost daily. This product was my first from the brand, and even with sensitive skin, it has never caused any problems. It provides great hydration, and if I could have afforded it, I would have used it for decades. Highly recommend for young and aging skin alike.
Megan
I really like this serum but wish it gave just a little more hydration. I have a hard time using thicker moisturizers without them clogging my pores. I decided to stick with my oil-free moisturizer and just add this serum to get more hydration. It is definitely helping. It dries down instantly, with no smell or tackiness. My face moisturizer applies nicely after this product. I will purchase this product again.
Bonnie
My skin is prone to dehydration. This product is a game changer. As I aged, the products and moisturizers I had been using for a long time no longer provided the necessary relief from dehydration. I turned to Hydrating B5 Gel based on a recommendation. What a relief! My skin looks so much better, and that uncomfortable dryness is gone. A little goes a long way, it's lightweight and provides so much hydration. I haven’t needed to reapply it throughout the day.
Bettina
I tried this with a friend who has a very different skin type. My skin is oily, and I suffer from pimples occasionally, while his skin is extremely dry. It works wonders for both of us. My skin feels soft and hydrated, and it keeps my pimples at bay. It’s a little expensive if you’re using it as a moisturizer, but it’s great in addition to one.
Patricia
I was introduced to this product after a facial laser resurfacing procedure. It is lightweight, goes on smoothly, and keeps my skin hydrated. Even a tiny bottle lasts a long time, and it feels great on my skin.

My skin is glowing. I have been using this product for about two weeks now (I know, not long enough to notice a crazy difference) but I figured I would give my first impressions. This product has a watery consistency that absorbs into the skin super fast, isnt sticky and hasnt pilled (under moisturizer or facial oil). I use the B5 gel twice a day (AM/PM) alongside other products, and they pair really well together. I usually give my serums a minute or two to absorb to prevent pilling and give it some time to sink in. This is a fast absorbing serum, like crazy fast, so fast that I forget if I put it on because my skin will feel dry to the touch, which I really enjoy because I hate the feeling of product build up.
