Description
B3, B5 + Peptides Hydra Gel is a lightweight niacinamide peptide serum powered by a FUSION FORMULA® of six well-researched peptides, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic Acid, delivering deep hydration without heaviness. Designed to visibly smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it helps soften the look of expression lines, while Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin draw moisture into the skin for a plumper, smoother look.
Part of Shunly’s 3 SkinCareActs™, B3, B5 + Peptides Hydra Gel delivers Protection by supporting a healthy-looking skin barrier and helping preserve the skin’s natural moisture and firmness, without heavy layers of cream. Soothing Aloe Vera makes it a comfortable choice for sensitive skin, while Vitamins B3 and B5 help brighten, hydrate and condition. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin. For peptides with a citrus and sage botanical blend in a gel-lotion texture, see Botanical-C + Peptides Gel Lotion.
Key Ingredients
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) & Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) — B3 helps brighten and support the skin barrier; B5 and Panthenol hydrate and condition the skin
Aloe Vera — soothes and comforts the skin
Glycerin — draws moisture into the skin and keeps it soft
6-Peptide Complex — six signal peptides, each with its own role (see below)
Hyaluronic Acid — deep hydration for a plumper-looking complexion
Why Six Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the skin. Each one carries a different message, so six working together cover more than any single peptide can:
Expression Lines — Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-19 are studied for softening the look of lines that form when we smile, frown and squint
Firmness — Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 are signal peptides that help skin look firmer, smoother and more resilient
Protection — Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-37 help calm the look of stressed skin and help preserve the skin’s natural firmness over time
How To Use
Use twice daily. After cleansing, tone with a Shunly® pH-balanced CoQ10 toner to restore the skin’s pH, then apply 5 to 7 drops to the face, adding a few more for the neck and décolleté as needed. Massage gently until fully absorbed. In the morning, follow with Shunly® FUSION FORMULA SPF. For extra morning hydration, you can also layer it after a Prevention serum, such as B,C,E + Ferulic Treatment, before your SPF.
Esthetician’s Tip: Apply while your skin is still slightly damp from the toner. Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin pull that moisture into the skin, so it feels hydrated without a moisturizer. Then press a second thin layer over the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes and mouth, where expression lines show first.

Let me just start off by saying this product is just phenomenal! It plumps your skin giving you that face lift affect & definitely does not leave your skin feeling oily. 10/10

I use this with the Apple stem cell and just love it! I use it on my face and my neck twice a week and I always feel like my skin is more firm and lush after. Don’t wait to add this to your regime!

I just started using the B5+ Hydra Gel and I already have noticed my skin is clearer. It helps to heal any breakout fast than normal. I thought that the gel would make my skin feel sticky or oily but instead it is light weight and very moisturizing. I can put it on in the morning or at night and my skin still feels clean and hydrated.

I really like this hydrating gel. I had been using the HA Moisturizer, which I still do really like it,
but my skin had changed a bit and tended to be more oily. It was recommended that I try this
gel instead during the summer months. So far I’m really liking it. It doesn’t feel sticky once
applied, it has no smell and it soaks into my skin really well. I’ve noticed that my skin feels
hydrated and smooth. I’ll continue to use this product especially during the summer.

I am big on good skincare and this is one product that makes my skin feel and look amazing. I use this as my moisturizer/treatment, along with AHA+ Deep Gel cleanser, pH≈SE+Nutri Toner and the new Zn20+SPF40 Moisturizer. That pretty much sums up my skincare routine. Over time I’ve noticed my skin has balanced out (I am usually very oily), become more hydrated, and it’s basically eliminated my need to use other products. I am very satisfying
with the results. I love it and will keep repurchasing.
