Panthenol and lactic acid

Panthenol and lactic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use lactic acid first, then panthenol, because panthenol soothes the skin and calms redness caused by the acid. Lactic acid smooths and exfoliates the skin, while panthenol adds moisture and stops irritation. You can use them together, but try a lower acid strength if your skin feels sensitive.
