Panthenol for redness and sensitivity: how to use it and what to expect

Panthenol is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Panthenol

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

How Panthenol helps for redness and sensitivity

Redness is often linked to a weakened barrier and dilated surface vessels. 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 redness and sensitivity.

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

A great ingredient for after-procedure, post-sun and irritated skin. Avoid aggressive exfoliants and hot water.
