Product Overview
SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel is a moisture-enhancing serum that combines hyaluronic acid with vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) to deliver intensive hydration and support the skin's natural barrier repair process. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan capable of binding up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water, making it one of the most effective humectant ingredients in dermatological skincare. The inclusion of vitamin B5 as calcium pantothenate promotes tissue repair and helps maintain skin suppleness.
Developed by SkinCeuticals, a brand founded on over three decades of skin science research and widely recommended by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and medical aesthetics practitioners worldwide, Hydrating B5 Gel is designed to complement antioxidant regimens (e.g., SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, Phloretin CF) by providing the hydration layer necessary for optimal barrier function. The lightweight, oil-free gel texture absorbs rapidly and is suitable for daily use on all skin types, including sensitive and post-procedural skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How should Hydrating B5 Gel be applied?
A: Apply 2–3 drops to clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolletage once or twice daily. It is best applied after a SkinCeuticals antioxidant serum and before a moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Q: Is Hydrating B5 Gel suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. The formulation is oil-free and non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. Hyaluronic acid provides hydration without adding oil, making it appropriate for oily and acne-prone skin types. It is also fragrance-free, reducing the risk of irritation.
Q: Can this serum be used after aesthetic procedures?
A: Hydrating B5 Gel is widely used in post-procedure skincare protocols by dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Its gentle, fragrance-free formula and moisture-binding properties make it suitable for application on skin recovering from chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatments. Always follow the specific post-care instructions provided by the treating clinician.
Q: What is the difference between Hydrating B5 Gel and other SkinCeuticals serums?
A: Hydrating B5 Gel is a hydrating serum focused on moisture replenishment via hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5. It differs from antioxidant serums (e.g., C E Ferulic, Phloretin CF) which target oxidative stress and photoageing. The two categories are complementary and are typically layered together—antioxidant first, then Hydrating B5, then moisturiser.
Q: Is this product authentic and where can I buy it in Singapore?
A: EMIS is an authorised retailer of SkinCeuticals products in Singapore. All products are sourced through official distribution channels, ensuring authenticity and proper storage conditions. The product is an HSA-notified cosmetic available for purchase at emis.asia with delivery across Singapore.
