Skin Ceauticals Hydrating B5


I know what you are thinking. Frankly I'm thinking it too.


This just looks like water. 
Am I honestly expected to fall for this and fork over a significant amount of cash for something that reminds me of day 1 mucus on my 10 day cold stretch?
Well, fell for it I did, about nine years ago. 

Coincidentally this happened about the same time my "preoccupation" with Ryan Gosling began. What? It could happen! He likes older women....
Plus all these products will make me look younger right?

THE PROMISE

  • B5 aids tissue repair
  • hyaluronic creates supple smooth skin
  • maximizes moisturizer
  • suitable for all skin types
  • smooths out fine lines


THE PURE TRUTH
Skin Ceauticals is well established in the field of scientific cosmetics. Due to their success with stabilzing certain ingredients and remaining at the head of pack with the latest advances, most come with a fairly high sticker price.
A 1 0Z bottle sells for $74. Ugg.

With the ability to bloat up bigger than Kayne West's ego, hyaluronic is the key ingredient here. But  it can also be found in other serums at a much lower price point. Check out your options.

As for the ability to encourage skin to mend I would have to agree it does speed things along. After gouging out a few unfortunate holes in my skin attempting to force out that resistant whitehead or two, my skin consistently repairs itself quicker than going solo. 

I also regularly use this on clients before a make-up application. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a sticky texture on skin. Make-up can be smoothly applied without skid marks.

One regular client with mega dehydrated sleep deprived skin improved significantly after using it for a few days.
Her eczema - like irritated skin simply disappeared.


THE BOTTOM LINE
The bonus with using a serum is that it will actually penetrate the skin dousing it with moisture. 
This B5 serum can literally be used on anyone. Fantastic for men who may be oily, but lacking in hydration.
This is a great product to aid in quenching your thirsty skin without resulting in any breakouts or weird irritation after peels. Use as a stand alone product or apply a mosturizer over top for added benefits.

RATING
I really enjoy this product, but the price always makes me take a sharp intake of breath. I begrudgingly hand over my card.
With all the technology available I really wish someone would invent some sort of contraption linking invisible electrodes from my brain to my bank account. When my balance goes below a certain level- BLAM-!!


B5 fulfills all it's promises so...
