Learn more about WaterPanthenol is a common ingredient that helps hydrate and soothe the skin. It is found naturally in our skin and hair.
There are two forms of panthenol: D and L.
D-panthenol is also known as dexpanthenol. Most cosmetics use dexpanthenol or a mixture of D and L-panthenol.
Panthenol is famous due to its ability to go deeper into the skin's layers. Using this ingredient has numerous pros (and no cons):
Like hyaluronic acid, panthenol is a humectant. Humectants are able to bind and hold large amounts of water to keep skin hydrated.
This ingredient works well for wound healing. It works by increasing tissue in the wound and helps close open wounds.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.
This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5.

If you have issues with hyaluronic acid serums, try this. A little goes a long way and it is amazing for skin barrier, irritation, skin texture, wrinkles (really helped with dynamic wrinkles around my eyes) and adding a little dewiness to dry skin. Unlike HA based hydrating serums it doesn't dry you out if you're wearing it in a dry climate (at least as much).

so I bought this by recommendation of Avo cust service. I already owned YSB Lactic Acid but apparently Lactic irritated my skin after a couple weeks. when I consulted, they told me to reduce the frequency of Lactic serum usage and apply this every day. they advised to layer it after Lactic serum as well... and it's really working as claimed... I love it.

i’ve emptied 10+ bottles of the big sized version of this and i’d say(as someone who has dry and sensitive skin) this is hands down the best serum i’ve tried. i usually buy it online so when i ran out before the new one comes, my skin instantly shows what happens if i don’t use the serum, i start to get breakouts. now that i live in japan, i’ve been struggling to find an alternative for this Show more
