For countless summers before this one, I battled what I could only describe as a ferociously oily t-zone. My make-up would slide off my face by 10 am, and I'd need to constantly reapply powder to keep shine at bay. It used to drive me insane. What I didn't realise, though, is that my skin was crying out for some intense hydration, and after much experimenting, I've finally found a face serum that gives my skin what it needs, and as a result, my oiliness is now an afterthought.
Up there as one of the best Medik8 products for those who know the brand, the Hydr8 B5 serum is one of the best hyaluronic acid products I've tried - and I've tried a fair few. In fact, as long as I can remember, I've made sure to have a hyaluronic acid product in my skincare routine, but none have given me the sort of hydration that this one has.

Lightweight, non-sticky and gorgeously hydrating, I noticed a difference in my skin after just a few days, and now I can't be without it. While it's only 30ml, it does go a long way, with just a couple of drops needed each time.
It's packed full of small, medium and large molecular weights of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, promising to improve the skin's moisture retention in just seven days. My skin literally drinks this stuff up; it sinks in immediately, leaving no residue, sits well under other products and make-up, and is even suitable for those with sensitive skin.
While I'll vouch that Medik8's products are absolutely worth their price tag, it's always nice to get a discount, and thanks to the Amazon Prime Day sale (of which there are loads of other beauty deals, FYI), you can save a juicy 20% off my favourite hydrating serum right now. If you're suffering from dryness or your skin is dehydrated, this will be a game-changer for you. As you can see from the above image, I'm nearly completely out, so I'm adding it to my basket while the offer's on.
Searching for more Medik8 goodness? You're in luck - plenty of the brand's other products are discounted for Prime Day, too. Head over to our dedicated Medik8 deals piece for more.
