SkinCeuticals’ H.A. Intensifier vs. Hydrating B5 Gel

Since the launch of SkinCeuticals’ H.A. Intensifier, guests frequently ask about the difference between this new serum vs. the Hydrating B5 Gel. They both contain Hyaluronic Acid, but the way the products work is slightly different.

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring carbohydrate in the body that attracts and holds moisture. Carrying up to 1,000 times its weight in water, this moisture-binding characteristic is very important when it comes to skin aging. Unfortunately, as we age, our skin’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases, meaning it loses the ability to hold and retain a balanced amount of moisture.

H.A. Intensifier is a corrective serum formulated with licorice root and purple rice root extract to increase the skin’s hyaluronic acid (HA) levels. It works in 3 ways:

  • Stimulates HA synthesis – prompting your skin to make more HA of its own
  • Preserves the existing HA
  • Hydrates instantly

Hydrating B5 Gel is a moisturizer combining vitamin B5 with Hyaluronic Acid to strengthen the skin’s barrier and bind moisture to the skin. This oil-free serum boosts and enhances the effects of your daily moisturizer.

Hyaluronic Acid is a popular ingredient that seems to be popping up in everyone’s favorite skincare products and Silver Mirror has an even more versatile and beneficial alternative product that provides the best of both worlds: Silver Mirror’s Hyaluronic+ Gel Serum.

This lightweight gel-serum is made with intensive humectants that prevent dehydration and promote a radiant appearance. With ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate, Green Tea Extract, and Aloe Vera, this product provides deep hydration, environmental protection, and soothing effects – all in one. Unlike the other products, it absorbs quickly without leaving residue, making it ideal for layering other skincare products and is perfect for your everyday routine. 

Additional Benefits:

  • Intense Hydration: Sodium Hyaluronate delivers deep hydration, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
  • Soothing & Calming: Aloe Vera and Chamomile calm irritated skin and reduce redness.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Green Tea Extract helps to protect the skin from environmental damage.
  • Lightweight Formula: Absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, making it ideal for layering with other skincare products.
  • Healing Properties: Allantoin promotes skin healing and improves the skin’s texture.

For those seeking ease and real results, Silver Mirror Hyaluronic+ Gel Serum offers a clean, vegan, and cruelty-free formula that provides all-day hydration and antioxidant defense in one effortless step.
