Hydrating B5 Gel

SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel is a lightweight, oil-free hydrating serum formulated to replenish moisture, restore radiance, and leave skin feeling smooth and supple. Combining the skin’s natural hydrator — hyaluronic acid — with vitamin B5 (panthenol), this non-comedogenic gel serum binds moisture to the skin’s surface while supporting the skin barrier’s natural repair process, delivering optimal hydration without clogging pores or contributing to excess shine.

Versatile and suitable for all skin types, Hydrating B5 Gel can be used alone as a lightweight daily moisturizer or layered underneath a richer moisturizer to provide an extra boost of hydration. Its oil-free formula makes it particularly well-suited to acne-prone and oily skin types that require effective hydration without the risk of pore congestion. Available in a 15ml travel size and full-size 30ml.

Key Ingredients

• Hyaluronic Acid — A powerful natural humectant that occurs naturally in the skin and plays a critical role in maintaining moisture and structural support. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains water molecules at the skin’s surface, delivering immediate plumping and long-lasting hydration that visibly improves skin texture, smoothness, and radiance. Its lightweight, water-based nature makes it effective across all skin types without contributing to oiliness or congestion.
• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) — An essential nutrient and skin-conditioning agent that promotes the skin barrier’s natural repair process. Vitamin B5 penetrates the skin’s surface to help restore and strengthen the barrier, reducing moisture loss and improving the skin’s overall resilience and comfort. It also has soothing properties that make it particularly beneficial for sensitized, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

How to Use

Using fingertips, apply 2–3 drops of Hydrating B5 Gel to the entire face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye area. In the morning, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum sunscreen. If using with a moisturizer, apply Hydrating B5 Gel first and follow with your moisturizer to lock in the added hydration. In the evening, if using a retinol treatment, apply after retinol application. Can be used morning and evening for continuous moisture replenishment.
