About a month ago, I received a bottle of facial serum from MDSun, a cosmeceutical company started by Dr. George Sun, California plastic surgeon and medical-grade skincare specialist. I get a lot of skincare products to review, and many of them are very good. A few of them make it to rockstar status for me, and MDSun Super Hydration B Serum is a skincare rockstar IMHO!
For anyone who doesn’t follow my blog, my skin is very dry, semi-sensitive, mature skin, and I’m trying to keep it looking as good as I can for as long as I can. So I’m always on the hunt for skincare products that hydrate my skin, make it feel more comfortable, and look more plumped. That’s what I get when I use MDSun Super Hydration B Serum. In fact, this serum was made for me.
Here’s what it says right on the box:
- Superior hydrating wear up to 12 hours
- Effective radiant result for dry, sensitive skin
- Balance skin pH level
So what’s in this serum? It goes on to say:
“The vitamins B are essential for helping increase energy. This serum infuses dehydrated and stressed skin with optimal amounts of hyaluronic acid, vitamin B complex and highly concentrated antioxidant elements to replenish depleted moisture levels. It restores the look and feel of skin for a healthier, more youthful appearance.”
I don’t believe I’ve ever used skincare products with (pro vitamin B) before. I have used hyaluronic acid serums previously, but there’s something about this one that makes it seem tailor made for my skin issues. It is truly deeply hydrating. I actually look forward to putting it on twice a day. It makes an almost immediate difference in my skin. I’ve been using MDSun Super Hydration B Serum for almost a month because that’s how long I like to test out skincare serums, moisturizers or anti aging treatment products. But truth be told, I could have written about this serum after the first couple of days. It made that big a difference in my skin!
MDSun Super Hydration B Serum comes in a lovely thick glass bottle that looks great on my bathroom vanity. How nice of them to make it blue to coordinate with my decor!
The bottle has a dose-dispensing dropper. You push down on the top of the dropper and it takes up the right amount of serum to cover my face, neck and décolletage. Although I wish it had a pump dispenser instead of having to open the bottle and use the dropper, I don’t know that a pump would dispense the right amount of serum.
The serum is odorless, rather viscous and clear. After patting it onto my face, it dries within 30 seconds. Then I follow up with a retinol serum at night before my moisturizer, and during the day, I just go for the moisturizer after applying MDSun Super Hydration B Serum.
MDSun has an extensive product line, and I hope to be able to try out more of their products in the future. The products are all hypoallergenic, suitable for all skin types, fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, and they use natural preservatives that are good for skin. In addition, I found it interesting that all of their products are either serums, solutions or gel-based rather than creams because the active ingredients are better able to penetrate the skin’s layers. Very interesting! Check out the MDSun website for further details.
MDSun Super Hydration B Serum contains 1 fl. oz./30 ml and is priced at $85.00. It is an investment, but the bottle lasts for at least a couple of months. You also receive 3 samples with any full size product purchase. If you are interested in the serum, but unsure before spending the money, MDSun offers a sample for $2. I encourage you to give it a try. It can be purchased on the MDSun website. Made in the U.S.
Are you familiar with MDSun Skincare? Are you as big a fan of hyaluronic acid as I am?
This is the first time I’m reading about this brand but wow, it does sounds heavenly, Allison. I have dry, dehydrated skin but not sensitive and this serum sounds like it would do wonders for me too. Will check out how much is this in CAD and shipping.

MDSun is supposed to be good for all skin types, but this serum is especially wonderful for those of us with dry skin!
I have this, and think that it is quite good. I haven’t used it in a very long time, and will now go dig it out. I completely agree with you that it is deeply hydrating. Excellent review, Allison!

Thanks, Helen! Because my skin is so dry, this serum is a must-have. I hope you find yours!
You had me at super hydration. 😀 I LOVE serums with hyaluronic acid, they work in concert with my moisturizer to more deeply hydrate and plump my skin. I won’t be without it. I’d love to try this serum, as I hear raves about this line.

This is the serum that makes it possible for me to wear the StriVectin Multi-Purpose without putting another moisturizer or sleeping mask on top of it!
I really need to give this serum a try!

This serum made an immediate difference for my sensitive, dry skin. I think you’d like it!
I’ve never heard of this brand or serum before but it looks wonderful! Since I share many of your skin concerns, I really appreciate your reviews!

I’m so glad to know that, Monica! Glad my skincare reviews are useful to you! MDSun Super Hydrating B Serum truly is great. Wish it weren’t quite so expensive because it’s way better than the less expensive HA serums I’ve used previously
Never heard of this brand before but it sounds amazing! I love a good serum!
Elaine recently posted…NEW! Annabelle Cosmetics Eyeliner and Lip Lacquer
I believe it’s only sold on the MDSun website so it isn’t as well known as Sephora and dept store brands, but I’m blown away by how well it works for me. Yay!
The packaging is completely lovely and so high end looking. I don’t think I’ve used any skin care with Vit B either .. but it sounds quite good for the skin 🙂

Yes, it’s so attractive, but I’m blown away at how well it works for me!
Love anything with hyaluronic acid!

This is by far the best HA serum I’ve ever tried. It must be the other ingredients that are also in it that make it so great
This sounds amazing, plus the packaging is gorgeous!
Heather recently posted…New from e.l.f. Skincare
It’s just perfect for my dry skin, and yes, it sure is a beautiful bottle!
I love the packaging of this! Serums are so nourishing for dry skin, I haven’t been using one since pregnancy limits so many ingredients, but I can’t wait to discover another one after the baby is here!
Julie recently posted…NEW! Garnier SkinActive Skin Care
I can imagine! It’s hard to have to cut down on skincare products/ingredients among other things, but baby will arrive before you know it!
I’ve never heard of B Serum before. It sounds pretty cool though!

Yes, I’ve gotta do some more reading about the role of vitamin B complex in skincare. But whatever is in this besides the hyaluronic acid, it is really doing the trick for my dry skin!
I’ve got this in my stash and now I’m super excited to start it. I love that it’s fragrance free. It sounds like your skin loves this so I know mine will too.

Oh, Marcia, it will be a treat! I’m glad you’ll be trying it soon too!
This is one of my favorite serums! I’m so happy you had the opportunity to try it out.
Me, too, Anastasia! It is so perfect for my dry skin! I’m glad it’s one of your faves too 🙂
I’ve not heard of this brand, but it sounds nice. I love the bottle.

The bottle and the silver dropper are so elegant. Looks great on my vanity!
This sounds like my kind of serum! It’s always great when skincare is effective.
True enough! I don’t know what makes this HA serum seem so much more effective than the others I’ve used, but it’s the best!
I heard this line before. I would love to try this serum

MDSun Super Hydrating B Serum is by far the best HA serum I’ve ever used! I hope you get to try it at some point
I dont think I have used a skincare product with vitamin B in it either! Very interesting! Thanks for the review. I love that they offer affordable samples! That’s always nice especially when a product like this can be such an investment.

I was blown away by this serum. By far, the best HA serum I’ve ever used. I may be living on the samples after I use up the bottle 😉
I have this product and it is one of my favorites… I absolutely love it 🙂 My skin is left so hydrated after use and it works so well with many of my skin care products.

I feel the same way. I’m hoping it’ll last forever!
I love hyaluronic acid but I don’t know if I knew that Vitamin B was a good skincare ingredient. I’m going to have to remember that as I’m searching for new skincare!
Justina recently posted…Moisturizers for Super Dry Skin That Don’t Break Me Out
It’s amazing that vitamin B complex is involved in all kinds of skin issues: preventing aging, hyperpigmentation and acne! Niacinamide, an ingredient I often look for that I didn’t realize was a B vitamin derivative, is one of them.
I love the fact that they’re gel based formulas, would be great for my oily/combination skin!

I was so interested in that statement in the MDSun materials that they only have liquids, gels and serums rather than creams because they get into the skin and work better. How amazing!
I love when skincare has little droppers like that.
This is the first time I’ve tried this kind of dropper. Not only does it look gorgeous, but it works so well!
Wow this looks like it would be just what my dry skin needs. I had never heard of the brand before, it sounds like quite the winner.
Jill, the MDSun Super Hydrating B Serum is so fabulous for my dry skin. I will be so sad when I run out because nothing else works this well! Gotta start saving my pennies. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment xoxo
What an awesome review on this skin serum…can’t wait to try this myself for my dry skin!

The MDSun Super Hydrating B Serum is sooooooooo great. I wish it weren’t so pricey!
oooh, awesome review! This is the first time I’m hearing about this brand. The packaging is stunning too. I’m going to see what else they have in their line for oily skin 😉

MDSun is definitely a skincare brand worth getting to know, Brigette. They have quite a comprehensive skincare line, but I believe they say that their products are “for all skin types”. But definitely take a look. I’m curious about what you think.
I have really been getting into skin care lately. And this serum sounds amazing! I really need to get a serum for myself, that’s the only thing I’m missing right now.
This Super Hydrating B Serum that’s loaded with HA is so good for my skin! I hope you find your HG serum soon
I am SO new to the skincare thing so I’m so happy I read about this serum! It is a little pricey, however, I do think your skin is an investment. I will definitely have to get a sample of this and try it out! Have you tried the Sephora face masks for $6? They’re wonderful – especially for sensitive skin! xo NM

Skincare is sooooo important, Nic, but I’m sure you already know that. I’ve become quite a skincare junkie. I have super dry skin, so the MDSun Super Hydration B Serum is literally just what the doctor ordered. It is pricey, and I am trying to make this bottle last. I think it’s great that they sell inexpensive samples so you can try out the products first. I haven’t tried the Sephora masks yet, though every time I go in the store I look at them because the packaging is so eye catching! I’ve read several mostly positive reviews of them, but right now I have so many fabric, paper and regular masks that I’ve gotta make a dent in that stash before I try more, but I know I will at some point. Thank you for visiting and commenting xoxo
