Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense ingredients

The key ingredients in Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense are:

Multi-Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid has the ability to penetrate different layers of the skin. It draws moisture from the atmosphere to leave the skin feeling and looking supple. You can read more about what the big deal is with Hyaluronic Acid here.

Natural Moisturising Factors are naturally part of the topmost layer of skin and are integral to maintaining hydration. They’re able to grab onto moisture to quench the skin. Natural Moisturising Factors are made up of a number of elements that are essential to skin health, including Amino Acids, Lactate, Urea and Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA). They play a key role in the hydration of the skin, enabling it to remain bouncy and resilient.

Panthenol, or Vitamin B5, is a soothing ingredient that supports the regeneration of skin cells and helps skin retain moisture.

Saskatoon Berry Extract contains specific antioxidants known as anthocyanins. This super active is able to block the enzyme that breaks down Hyaluronic Acid in the upper layers of skin, thereby protecting the natural reservoir of this youth element. It helps to promote supple skin from inside.

Soy Extract is another natural antioxidant that protects the skin. Soy is able stimulate the skin’s natural production of Hyaluronic Acid, as well as enhance collagen production so that it looks younger.

Biosaccharide Gum is a natural sugar that’s able to form a breathable film over the skin. It replenishes elements in the skin and helps to retain moisture and build a reservoir of Hyaluronic Acid in the skin.

Glyceryl Glucoside stimulates the skin’s aquaporin channels. These are hydration tunnels in the skin. They enable water and glycerin to circulate, thereby maintaining the correct water balance in the skin.
