I have used this gel for nearly 3 months. It's great! It made my extremely dry skin more smoothly and full of moisture!

I think it's just expensive HA serum. I love PSF HA serum.

PSF HA serum doesn't contain B5. Supposedly B5 can improve barrier function and helps with irriation.

anyone know an ingredient comparison between Skinceuticals and Cellex-C B5 serums?

I had the cellex C and loved it. Definately better than the straight HA serums... (I am using PSF HA serum at the moment)

Cellex-C Hydra 5 B-Complex

Water (Aqua), Sodium Hyaluronate, Pantothenic Acid, Phenoxyethanol.

PSF HA Serum

There are not same.
Boht of them have Sodium Hyaluronate.
But PSF HA Serum have not Pantothenic Acid, Phenoxyethanol.
Anyhow, who know the chemical property and/or propose of Pantothenic Acid, Phenoxyethanol?

I've used the Cellex C, Skinceuticals and PSF HA Serums, though i'm just about to try the Candessence one. Out of the three I've tried I definitely prefer the Cellex C serum. There does seem to be a noticeable difference between the Cellex C and PSF for me anyway. I liked the Skinceuticals B5 Gel aswell, but I prefer the texture of the Cellex C and found it less tacky and hydrated my skin far better than others I've tried.

It hydrated my skin immediately, however it's too pricy!
and there were other cheaper alternatives which gave the same result...

As per above ingredients, PSF HA serum and Cellex-C Hydra 5 B-Complex are quite same but cheaper.

I have heard people having reaction to Phenoxyethanol so that may be the cause as well?

Jeez, I don't even know what Phenoxyethanol is... Laughing

Should B5 Gel work with Skin ceutical products?

Or you just use it with other brand?

I am wondering whether this gel product can be absorbed if I use it with non skin ceutical products.
