About Vitamin B5

Discover vitamin B skincare benefits

Vitamin B skincare, especially formulas with niacinamide (vitamin B3) and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), helps to strengthen the skin barrier, refine texture and improve hydration. Gentle yet effective, these vitamins work to calm, smooth and visibly enhance the skin’s natural radiance while supporting everyday resilience.

Find your perfect vitamin B routine

From brightening dull tone to soothing sensitivity, vitamin B fits easily into any routine. Choose a niacinamide serum for smoother texture and balanced oil levels, or a B5-rich moisturiser to comfort and hydrate. Layer with SPF and your preferred actives for daily support and visible clarity.

Start slowly, patch test, and give your skin a few weeks to adjust. For tailored product advice or if you’re unsure how to pair vitamin B with other actives, contact us our expert team. You can also take our free online skin
