Who is the Vitamin B Serum from ALPHA-H for?

The Vitamin B Serum from ALPHA-H suits normal, dry, combination, oily and sensitive skin, so it works for almost every skin type.

This full size holds 25 ml and is made for daily use over a longer period. Want to try this vitamin B serum in a smaller amount first? There's also the ALPHA-H Travel Size Vitamin B Serum, 10 ml, with the same formula.

How do you use the Vitamin B Serum from ALPHA-H?

Apply 3 to 4 drops of the Vitamin B Serum to clean skin. Let it absorb for about 1 minute, until the skin feels touch-dry, then follow with a moisturiser. If you use several serums, let each layer absorb before you apply the next one. Use this product in the morning and/or evening. If you're not sure this serum suits your skin, do a patch test on a small area first, or start with the travel size.

Active ingredients

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) (5%). Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3. Niacinamide reduces shine on the T-zone and visibly minimises pores. Niacinamide also reduces the visible appearance of redness.

Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) (1%). Panthenol is a moisture-binding ingredient that absorbs into the skin. Panthenol helps the skin hold on to moisture, for a more comfortable feel.

Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is an ingredient that naturally attracts and holds moisture. Hyaluronic acid leaves skin looking fuller and feeling firmer.

Ferulic Acid. Ferulic acid is an antioxidant, here sourced from plant seeds. Ferulic acid protects the formula and the skin from outside influences.

Chia Seed. Chia seed extract is a plant extract, rich in omega fatty acids. Chia seed extract soothes the skin and supports an even skin tone.

Copper Peptides. Copper peptides are protein fragments combined with copper. Copper peptides support the skin barrier, the outer layer that protects the skin.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the Vitamin B Serum and the ALPHA-H Travel Size Vitamin B Serum?

The Vitamin B Serum from ALPHA-H and the ALPHA-H Travel Size Vitamin B Serum contain the same formula. Both contain 5% vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and 1% vitamin B5 (panthenol), together with hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid, chia seed and copper peptides. The difference is the size: this full size holds 25 ml, the travel size 10 ml. The full size suits you if you already know the formula and use it every day. The travel size is a good way to try the formula first, or to take on a trip.

How much longer does this full size last compared to the travel size?

With this full size, you get just over twice as much use as with the travel size. It holds 25 ml against 10 ml, and you use 3 to 4 drops per application either way, in the morning and/or evening.

Can you combine the Vitamin B Serum with the Vitamin C Serum from ALPHA-H?

Yes. In the ALPHA-H Brightening Duo, ALPHA-H combines both serums in one routine. You apply the Vitamin C Serum in the morning and the Vitamin B Serum in the evening. So you use the two serums after each other, not together in the same application.

Is the Vitamin B Serum mainly a vitamin B5 serum?

No, vitamin B3 (niacinamide) is the largest active ingredient in the Vitamin B Serum at 5%. Vitamin B5 (panthenol) is included at 1%, as an addition to the niacinamide.
