Product overview
Key Ingredients
- Sodium Hyaluronate & Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: hyaluronic acid derivatives that help draw and hold moisture in the skin, common to this serum line's core hydration claim
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): a soothing, hydrating ingredient central to the "B5" naming of this product line
- Glycerin: a well-established humectant supporting overall hydration
- Formula-variant note: two distinct formulas circulate under closely related "Hyalu B5" naming -- an original formula without Madecassoside, and a newer "Suractivated" formula that includes Madecassoside (a Centella Asiatica-derived ingredient) and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate. MedEasy could not confirm from available sources which specific formula is packaged in this 10ml mini/travel size, so Madecassoside should be treated as a possible but unconfirmed ingredient for this exact SKU rather than a guaranteed one
- Other ingredients commonly reported across formula variants include Alcohol Denat, Propylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Butylene Glycol, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, and fragrance (Parfum)
