Clinical Formula

Panthenol

Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are two names commonly used for the same ingredient. Panthenol participates in numerous metabolic processes (e.g. energy production, synthesis of fatty acids) and helps to improve hydration in the outermost layers of the skin. Panthenol converts into Panthotenic Acid (a B-Complex Vitamin) in the skin and enhances skin regeneration and repair. When applied regularly, it has been proven to considerably improve symptoms of skin irritation such as dryness, roughness, scaling and redness. It is also an effective moisturizer. Very well absorbed by the skin, it regenerates, stimulates epithelialisation and wound healing. It alleviates irritation and inflammation.

This has been a wonder product for me! It's worth every penny as a little goes a LONG way and it has multiple uses. I use it as a lip balm, to smooth out and shape my eyebrows, to protect thin skin on my face when applying retinol, to heal dry skin behind my ears, and as a cheap alternative to nail cream. It's a miracle!!
