Questions and answers
How well does the Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream work for dry skin?
This cream works for your dry skin, though other products fit it better because it offers good moisture and barrier support with panthenol and squalane. To fit dry skin best, a moisturizing treatment of this type needs highly effective soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid to provide maximum hydration and nourishment without irritation.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for dry skin?
Panthenol, centella asiatica extract, and squalane make this cream a good fit for dry skin by helping to hydrate and strengthen your skin barrier. Panthenol and squalane are well suited for dry or flaky skin because they add moisture and smooth the surface. To fit dry skin even better, a moisturizing treatment of this type needs highly effective soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin for maximum hydration.

What does Bamboo Extract do for dry skin?
Bamboo extract helps calm dry skin and supports healing. It works by reducing irritation and protecting skin from damage.
Phytomedicine, 2025Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, 2016
What does Panthenol do for dry skin?
Panthenol helps dry skin by keeping it soft and holding onto moisture while repairing your skin barrier. It also helps soothe redness and rough patches, making it very gentle and comfortable for everyday use.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes after your cleanser and hydrating toner in the morning, and after your cleanser in the evening. It helps keep dry skin soft and hydrated using panthenol, squalane, and centella extract. Dry skin also needs rich emollients and barrier-supporting ingredients to stay smooth and comfortable.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol by applying the cream first to help calm and soften your dry skin before the retinol, or use it after to help soothe any dryness. This product helps keep your skin comfortable, but dry skin often needs richer oils and heavier barrier-protecting ingredients to stay fully smooth.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment daily in your morning and evening routines. Regular application helps keep dry skin soft and supports your skin barrier.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts or clogged pores on dry skin, as it contains no heavy or harsh pore-clogging ingredients. However, because dry skin sometimes needs extra richness, a product of this type works best for you when it includes richer oils or butters to deeply soften and lock in moisture.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this cream on your body and around your eyes, though dry skin on the body and thin skin around the eyes generally need richer nourishing oils and heavy sealing ingredients to stay soft and smooth.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
A new topical panthenol-containing emollient significantly improved transepidermal water loss reduction, stratum corneum hydration, and intercellular lipid lamellae length compared with control in healthy subjects without negatively impacting bacterial viability.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Cosmetic formulations containing 5% Centella asiatica extract showed the best efficacy in improving skin moisture and decreasing transepidermal water loss, while also exhibiting antiinflammatory properties in 25 volunteers compared to baseline measurements.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions of Bambusa vulgaris leaves accelerate cutaneous wound healing and inhibit carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats.
Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, 2016Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans.
Arzneimittel-Forschung, 2000Hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol, and isotonic saline nasal sprays all significantly improved dry nose symptoms over four weeks in 240 patients, with hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol providing superior nasal moisturisation compared to the other two.
Auris, Nasus, Larynx, 2020A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
