FAQ

Q: How quickly will I see results from Hydr8 B5™ Intense?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate that you can expect to see noticeably plumper skin within 24 hours of use. Within 7 days, the appearance of skin volume is visibly restored. For optimal long-term benefits, including improved adaptation to environmental stressors and sustained moisture retention, consistent twice-daily use is recommended. 100% of study participants showed visibly hydrated skin and experienced smoother, softer skin texture.

Q: What is the difference between Hydr8 B5 and Hydr8 B5™ Intense?
A: Hydr8 B5 is Medik8's original bestselling hyaluronic acid serum, whilst Hydr8 B5™ Intense is the supercharged version. Hydr8 B5™ Intense has been fortified with additional Natural Moisturising Factors and superfood antioxidants including saskatoon berry, providing heightened hydration power. We typically recommend Hydr8 B5 for maintaining daily hydration in normal or sensitive skin types, whilst Hydr8 B5™ Intense is ideal for dehydrated skin requiring a more intensive hydration boost.

Q: Can I use Hydr8 B5™ Intense if I have sensitive skin?
A: Absolutely. This serum is dermatologically tested and formulated to be suitable for sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and free from synthetic colours and phthalates. The gentle, non-irritating formula has been clinically proven on various skin types. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend conducting a patch test before full application. Speak to our experts for personalised guidance on incorporating this into your sensitive skin routine.

Q: How does the natural purple-red colour affect the product's performance?
A: The natural purple-red hue comes directly from the antioxidant-rich saskatoon berry - there are no artificial colours added. This distinctive colour is actually an indicator of the potent anthocyanin antioxidants present in the formula. As this is a natural extract, there may be slight colour variations between batches depending on the season, which is completely normal and does not affect the product's efficacy or stability.

Q: Can I layer Hydr8 B5™ Intense with other serums or treatments?
A: Yes, Hydr8 B5™ Intense layers beautifully with other products and actually enhances their effectiveness by optimising skin hydration. Apply it after cleansing, before other treatment serums or moisturisers. In the evening, you can follow with Crystal Retinal for enhanced skin-firming results. The serum works particularly well when paired with Advanced Night Restore, Medik8's signature anti-ageing night cream.
