Let's be honest about what Panthenol can really do, and what it can't.

What is Panthenol

Panthenol (provitamin B5) deeply hydrates, soothes and speeds up skin recovery.

How Panthenol helps for dull skin

Dullness appears when dead cells build up on the surface and skin reflects less light. Panthenol approaches the problem from a different angle: panthenol (provitamin B5) deeply hydrates, soothes and speeds up skin recovery. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for dull skin.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply panthenol to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions
