Panthenol for dry skin: how to use it and what to expect

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 dry skin

Dryness occurs when the skin lacks lipids, so it loses water and flakes. 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 dry 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

A great ingredient for after-procedure, post-sun and irritated skin. Combine humectants with occlusives to seal moisture in.
