The Importance of Hydrating Serums for Dry Skin


There are many reasons that your skin can start to feel dry, from a change in weather, to central heating, harsh skincare, and taking very hot showers and baths. These types of aggressors and lifestyle factors can compromise the skin barrier and weaken its ability to retain water in the skin leaving it feeling drier than it should.

When this happens and the skin starts to feel very dry, you can improve it by strengthening the skin barrier and replenishing moisture levels with a hydrating serum and moisturiser. This will deliver hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides to the skin which will improve overall suppleness, radiance, and hydration.

What Makes SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 the Best Serum for Dry Skin?


SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel Serum combines two very hydrating ingredients proven to improve dryness in the skin. The first is hyaluronic acid, a natural humectant that helps replenish moisture, and the second is the essential nutrient vitamin B5. Within the formula, these ingredients help to replenish the skin with moisture and enhance radiance. This makes it suitable for use on all skin types including sensitive and blemish-prone, and an ideal partner to vitamin C serums, moisturisers and hydrating serums.

How to Incorporate SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 into Your Skincare Routine

For best results, you should add SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel Serum into your skincare routine twice a day. Apply it in the morning after cleansing, toning, and applying a vitamin C serum. This will help to lock moisture into the skin. Follow with your usual moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

It can also be used again in the evening after cleansing, toning and applying a corrective serum. The Hydrating B5 serum will help to support the skin barrier and lock moisture into the skin, especially when followed with a dedicated night cream or moisturiser.
