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.

Finished a bottle of this during early 2024, and I have to say this is a pretty nice nourishing and soothing toner. Much better than the Anua heartleaf toner imo as it offers more soothing properties and is great for my acne prone skin. I have also noticed slight redness reduction on my skin by using this but the downside is that this toner wasnโ€™t hydrating enough for me as I have dry skin.
