Panthenol 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.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
My skin is very high maintenance, sensitive and acne prone - cystic, fungal and hormonal.
It’s hard to always follow my long skincare routine, especially during this current exam season, so this is perfect for those lazy days or for the days when you want your skin to relax and breathe.
It is also the perfect, easy, one-step skincare I use to prep my skin for makeup Show more
These pads are soaked with a lot of serum inside and these are really good for hydration and soothing my dry and acne prone skin.
