What is Panthenol

How Panthenol helps for sun damage

Sun damage is accumulated UV harm: pigmentation, wrinkles and loss of firmness. 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 sun damage.

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
