Great hydrator

by jujubuds (99 reviews)
I have oily skin but I get dry patches as the weather gets colder and I hate using heavy moisturizers on my face. This stuff saves my skin. I use it every other day in the morning after I cleanse and spray my face with Juicy Beauty hydrating mist. I let it sit for a few minutes then apply Bare Minerals skin rever upper.11/12/2007

    My husband and I have been using this product along with the serum 20 for about 1-2 years. Forget anything you can buy at the local drugstore. This will give you fantastic results in no time.

December 6, 2007, 8:45 am My husband and I have been using this product along with the serum 20 for about 1-2 years. Forget anything you can buy at the local drugstore. This will give you fantastic results in no time. But a word of advice---keep up the routine of using it. It is like losing weight ---you work so hard to get where you want to be and love the results---and then when you stop doing the right thing you gradually get back to where you started and did not want to be in the first place. It is all worth it to look great! December 6, 2007, 8:45 am

    I use the Skin Ceuticals C E Ferulic in the morning and I follow up with the B5 Gel and I also use it a night. I'm in my early 50's and my skin really needs the extra moisture.

I'm in my early 50's and my skin really needs the extra moisture. If you have slightly dry skin or really dry skin, I'd suggest that you try this and follow up with another moisturizer. Make sure to use a good broad spectrum sunscreen every morning too! I keep my C E Ferulic and my B5 in the fridge. I also use it all around my eye area and I follow up with an eye cream there as well. November 29, 2007, 6:02 pm

April 3, 2008, 10:35 pm I have combination skin and I live in the east coast (cold half of the year), so my cheeks were very dry. It peels, is itchy and red. Not nice at all. My esthetician recommended me this product, and I was shocked at the price at first but decided to go along with it...turned out to be a very good investment. It has been able to hydrate my tired skin after every long day of make-up and evironmental damage. I highly recommend using the hydrating b5 masque once a week as well. April 3, 2008, 10:35 pm

November 29, 2007, 2:10 pm I use this everyday as a moisturizer and have been for over 3 years now. Its base of hylauronic acid carries 1,000 times its weight in moisture. It is perfect for problematic skin because it dries quickly with no residue and will not cause breakouts etc. If you need a little more moisture especially in the winter you can put this on first and then layer it with another product.

    good for very sensitive skin

    by Darty12anne (3 reviews)
    I have very sensitive skin and if I use a cream or lotion I will usually break out in a week or so. This light serum does seem to hydrate and does not break out my skin. However, it is not a very strong moisturizer. One needs to use another moisturizer as well. November 27, 2007, 10:36 am

    nice results

    by coconat (27 reviews)
    this is a great way to moisturise oily skin with the heavy feeling i usually get with moisturizes. No breakouts yet either. Its a good boost to my skin espec. after using glycolic treatments. July 21, 2008, 2:18 am

June 26, 2008, 8:01 am I have combination skin which gets oily when the wether is hot so I was quite surprised when i was getting a facial and was told my skin was dry. Skinceuticals B5 was recommended and I was very hesitant about putting an 'oil' on my already somehwhat oily skin. As soon as I put it on I couldn't believe the feel. Wasn't oily at all and it provided moisure exactly where I needed it. I could feel the difference immediately and with continued use it really made a difference. June 26, 2008, 8:01 am

    by Reckinghausen (3 reviews)
    I use it during the day right after me toner. You can use it alone or under your moisturizer. I am 48 with dry skin and I can see a big difference in my skin when I use this product. January 28, 2008, 8:58 pm
