Medik 8 Hydr8 B5 Intense

Medik8’s most popular moisturizing serum HYDR8 B5 now in the INTENSE version for even more intensive hydration and skin renewal, containing naturally moisturizing factors and a complex of active ingredients that boost the skin’s own hyaluronic acid products.

Moisturising serum for the skin

HYDR8 B5 INTENSE attracts and retains moisture in the skin in several ways. Thanks to the combination of hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights, vitamin B5 and a unique complex of three active ingredients, it increases the skin’s hydration.

Charge of hyaluronic acid

The serum’s active ingredients trigger the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid, slowing its breakdown and, in synergy with topically applied hyaluronic acid, instantly enveloping the skin with moisture for an all-day comfortable feeling. The lightweight serum is enriched with naturally moisturizing factors that shape the skin’s internal hydration system. In addition, the serum contains panthenol (vitamin B5), which helps skin retain moisture and promotes skin cell regeneration.

Triple strength

Immediate and long-lasting hydration, filling in fine lines and restoring a youthful glow to the skin:

• Soy extract increases the skin’s own production of hyaluronic acid.
• Alder Flytrap forms a protective shield inhibiting the activity of an enzyme that breaks down excess hyaluronic acid in the skin. As a result, a supply of hyaluronic acid is formed in the upper layers of the skin for skin elasticity and hydration.
• Biosaccharide gum enhances the intrinsic moisturizing activity of hyaluronic acid by forming a permeable film on the skin’s surface that helps retain moisture, thus complementing the hydrating power of hyaluronic acid and prolonging its effect.

Lightweight formula for all skin types

HYDR8 B5 INTENSE Serum with its lightweight formula complements any type of skin care. Apply it on the skin together with a moisturizer. It can be used morning and night and every skin type will benefit from its application. It hydrates the skin from the deepest layers to the surface.

Deep hydration and nourishment of the skin

Hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights ensures hydration of all skin layers. In the uppermost layers of the skin, HYDR8 B5 INTENSE forms its reservoir for even greater freshness and elasticity. Together with the contained naturally moisturising factors such as amino acids, fatty acids and sodium PCA, which are naturally formed in the skin, it helps to preserve the skin’s moisture content. As a result, the skin maintains its integrity for its best functioning and health.

Ingredients to get rid of dry skin

Hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights:
A moisturizing substance that can supply the skin with water from the atmosphere, increasing the skin’s own ability to retain water and leaving it hydrated and with desirable volume. It creates a so-called hydration barrier, helping to smooth and soften the skin. It can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water.

Naturally moisturizing factors:
Sodium PCA, glycerin, urea, proteins, sugars, 15 different amino acids, lactic acid and creatine. These are all natural ingredients in the skin that bind moisture together for optimal hydration.

Alder-leaved Flycatcher:
The Alder-leaved Flycatcher is native to the forests of western Canada. Its fruits are directly loaded with powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins. The active compounds in the tiny berries are able to block the activity of the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. As a result, a reservoir of hyaluronic acid is formed in the upper layers of the skin when muskmelon extract is applied topically.

Soy extract:
This natural powerful antioxidant stimulates the skin’s own production of hyaluronic acid, and also increases collagen synthesis, giving the skin a hydrated and youthful appearance.

Vitamin B5:
Vitamin B5, also known as panthenol, is an effective moisturizing substance that attracts moisture to itself, thus lending softness and elasticity to the skin. In addition, it aids the synthesis of lipid molecules that form a protective skin barrier. This helps the skin to retain its hydration.

Biosaccharide gum:
Biosaccharide gum is a naturally occurring sugar that has a long linear structure. It forms a permeable film on the skin which, together with hyaluronic acid, synergistically increases skin hydration.

Serum ideal for:

• Increase hydration in the skin
• Relieving irritation and slowing down skin ageing when applying retinoic acid or AHA acids
• Intensive hydration for problematic skin prone to clogged pores
• Increasing the effect of dermo-cosmetic treatments such as mesotherapy, IPL, injectable fillers, chemical peels, laser rejuvenation, dermabrasion, etc.

6 drops refreshes and hydrates the skin

• Morning and evening after cleansing, apply 6 drops of HYDR8 B5 INTENSE directly to the skin and spread evenly over the entire face, neck and décolleté. Allow to absorb before applying your next Medik8 product.
• The 30 ml pack is sufficient for up to 100 applications.

Combine with other products from Medik8

For the best effect and skin rejuvenation, apply HYDR8 B5 INTENSE in the morning followed by a day cream with vitamin C and UV protection DAILY RADIANCE VITAMIN C. In case of very dry, damaged skin, you can also add the intensive regenerating cream ULTIMATE RECOVERY INTENSE.

In the evening, combine with either CRYSTAL RETINAL 6 retinal serum and ADVANCED NIGHT RESTORE night cream or Medik8’s most powerful anti-aging product, R-RETINOATE INTENSE.
