This ingredient is also referred to as pro-vitamin B5 or dexpanthenol in dermatology.
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.
Once oxidized, panthenol converts to pantothenic acid. Panthothenic acid is found in all living cells.

I actually already had my HG moisturizer set on Skinsort but wow.. I took a risk and bought this moisturizer the second I found it on here bc there's a limited selection of FA safe moisturizers that actually do the work.
It's expensive but my skin is so so so sensitive and reactive, it's worth it to me to have a moisturizer that doesn't burn/doesn't break me out/doesn't make me red&irritated. It's a very thick gel and so I make sure I apply it literally the second I pat my skin after washing so that I lock in the moisture. I swear after 10 seconds of having this on, my skin is calmed of any redness and it gives such a nice finish to the skin, like glass skin. I had a situation with tretinoin, it gave me perioral dermatitis and I suspect I had a retinol burn as well (my face hurt to move, it was bad), so I stopped using it and this thing here saved my skin barrier and is constantly improving my skin somehow. I'm shook and very very happy!! (Caution: it might not be moisturizing enough for dry skin and it's a bit sticky)

This is the ONLY moisturizer I've ever used that doesn't make me break out. I have combo hormonal acne and have also struggled with fungal acne breakouts in the past. This has a really unique texture in that's it's a thick gel but it hydrates like a cream. If you're super sensitive or acne prone it's definitely worth a try.
