KEY INGREDIENTS
Circular Chevron Icon
  • Ingredient Icon 1
    Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid

    With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the lower layers of the skin into the upper layers. This leaves the complexion visibly nourished and supple.

  • Ingredient Icon 2
    Vitamin B5

    Also known as panthenol, vitamin B5 helps the skin to retain moisture, while supporting the regeneration of skin cells for visibly plumper skin.

  • Ingredient Icon 3
    Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs)

    A unique combination of natural components in your skin (sodium PCA, glycerin, urea, proteins, sugars, 15 different amino acids, lactic acid, and creatine) which bind and hold moisture for optimal skin hydration.

  • Ingredient Icon 4
    Saskatoon Berry

    Packed full of wonder-antioxidants called anthocyanins (pronounced 'ANtho-SYa-nins'), this Canadian superberry can help to block the enzyme which breaks down hyaluronic acid, therefore preserving the skin's natural moisture levels for visible plumpness.

  • Ingredient Icon 5
    Soy Extract

    A natural and potent antioxidant, soy extract helps to stimulate the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen for hydrated, more youthful-looking skin.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA
Circular Chevron Icon

An oil-free solution for soft & supple skin

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

A must-have in every skincare regime, hyaluronic acid is a large sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin.

It is responsible for filling the gaps between our skin cells, visibly plumping up the complexion while also keeping its structure in place.

Incredibly, it has the capacity to hold 1,000x its own weight in water, and does so by drawing H2O molecules to itself like a magnet.

Hydr8 B5 contains multiple sizes (weights) of hyaluronic acid. The smaller sizes work to penetrate deep into the skin and draw hydration up from the lower layers. Meanwhile, the larger sizes sit on the surface of the complexion, acting as a 'hydration reservoir' to continuously feed the upper layers of the skin with moisture.

Reviews

A Must-Have for Hydrated Skin

"Really impressed with Hydr8 B5. It feels lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy residue. My skin feels noticeably softer, smoother and much more hydrated after using it. It also sits really well under moisturiser and make-up, which is a big plus. A lovely, simple addition to my skincare routine and definitely something I’d repurchase."

Marcela G. (5/5)

A boost of hydration

"My skin feels noticeably softer and more hydrated when I use this. A little goes a long way and it leaves my skin feeling comfortable and plump. Definitely one I’ll keep using."

Nataliia Y. (5/5)

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!"

Tess H. (5/5)

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."

Nikki F. (5/5)

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."

Whitney H. (5/5)

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."

Jinsil H. (5/5)

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!!"
