Your Best Face Hydrate B Concentrate

Generally I love YBF products and the fact that there are no nasties in them, and that they are chocked full of ingredients that benefit the skin. Hydrate B is a nice addition to my skincare routine. It hydrates my skin and in some ways calm it. I took a star off because it is a little drippy and does take a while to absorb fully into the skin, and on mornings when I'm running late, I tend to skip it to avoid waiting.

After cleansing and toning, this is usually the product I use first. I'm left with a fresh, hydrated canvas that really helps deliver more out of the products I follow this serum with.

I also find it great to mix with a heavier cream foundation to give it a more lightweight look/feel while also getting the most out of all the antioxidants.

I’ve been using and testing Your Best Face Hydrate B Concentrate for quite some time now, putting this interesting product through all sorts of tests. The texture is a little bit hard to explain, somewhere between a gel and a serum. When you first put it on, for a moment it almost feels sticky, but right before that sticky feeling would actually bother you, it dissipates. And because the ingredients list is wonderfully simple and straightforward, it has no scent at all.

When I first received Hydrate B I was spending a month in Miami where it’s warm and humid. And although this product doesn’t feel like your typical moisturizer, I found it to be pretty effective. My skin felt and looked good. Zero irritation and a nice glow. I was using it by itself, and it seemed to be enough to keep my skin supple and moisturized. However, when I got back to New York City, where it’s unbearable freezing and dry, I realized this product simply was not enough.

Looking on the YBF website, I learned that although Hydrate B can be used as a stand-alone product, it actually performs best when used underneath a moisturizer or serum. So I decided to conduct a little test of my own: on one side of my face I used just my moisturizer and the other side I used Hydrate B and my moisturizer. I did the same thing with each hand as well. The difference was subtle, although definitely more noticeable on my hands. The side with the YBF addition was actually suppler and had a subtle dewy glow to it that wasn’t present on the other side.

This unique product is a nice addition to really seal in moisture, especially in cold and dry climates. And it makes for a nice super light moisturizer for when it’s humid and sticky out. I should also add that a little bit goes a really, really long way. So I would say it’s a worthy addition to your skincare arsenal.

my skin looks and feels more even-toned, and I dare say radiant. I wanted to go out without makeup on each night after washing my face! I am really pleased with this product and will bookmark it for future purchase.

I knew that I was going to be in the sun a lot this summer, and I was hoping the product would provide some extra moisture for my fair, 48 year old aging skin. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my skin looks better after using the product for the past 4 weeks! I would recommend this product, as my skin looks better now than it did before I started using it. I’ve been told how young I look, and I credit Hydrate B concentrate for that!

A couple of weeks before my sample arrived, I had an allergic reaction to a chemical that caused the skin around my eyes to blister and peel. So this test was going to be real challenge. In the end, the Hydrate B was sort of up to it.
It does hydrate. Within a week I could see the redness fade from my skin, though it never faded completely. I slathered it around my eyes and within a week the improvement was impressive, with the redness nearly gone and the wrinkles no worse than they were before.Within a couple of weeks, there was no further improvement.
If I were younger I might top it with a good moisturizer and look no further. If I had trouble with the dreaded shiny face, indicating a lack of product absorption, I’d try it; my face has had an absolutely matte finish this whole time. I’d like to find a serum or moisturizer that completely eliminates the red patches. There are a couple of other things I will try before I decide for sure.

I use Hydrate B w whatever serum I’m using at the moment. Currently it’s Glotheraputics Defense. I feel it “stretches” the Glo product and plumps my face and neck more than Glo Defense does alone. I think Hydrate B it marvelous!

I having been using Hydrate B for a couple of months. Living in Colorado and tending to have normal/dry skin..it is imperative that a moisturizer be used with this or my face quickly turns into the Sahara. I do like Hydrate B – it certainly neutralizes any T-zone action – the result (for me) being close to what I used to get with glycolic peels. My face is left less combination and more ‘normal’ all over.

First off, the container is very sleek-looking pump which releases just the right amount of product. The serum is an extremely lightweight white liquid. Yes, I said liquid. So much so that it was quite runny. I’m used to using cream-based serums or oils so it took a bit of getting used this one.
This serum has a pleasant fruity scent which is a plus if you’re into aromatherapy. After my first use of the serum, my face broke out in small whiteheads. I’m not sure if this was an allergic reaction, but they went away after a few days.
I used this serum for about 5 weeks and I’m sad to say that it didn’t do much for my skin. My skin is normal to dry so perhaps the consistency was not the right match for me. I could see this working well for someone with normal to oily skin.
