Panthenol

Topical panthenol deeply moisturizes the skin, improves hydration, accelerates healing and regeneration, reduces redness, and soothes irritation. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and it comes in creams, cleansers, serums, and toners. This ingredient fits well into a routine because it works nicely with glycolic acid, AHA blend glycolic and citric acids, and salicylic acid.
