Learn more about GlycerinPanthenol 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.

TL;DR I would repurchase this item but only for travel.
I have thicc eyebrows that are night and day when groomed vs ungroomed. I would repurchase this item for my on-the-go/travel bag because the packaging is optimal and product is "clean". However it's not a great everyday product for me but probably all you need if you have skinny brows.
Pros:
Clear bottle - nice to see how much I have Show more
