([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/))
- Topical 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, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- A panthenol-enriched mask significantly decreased erythema and hyperpigmentation, increased sebum and stratum corneum moisture, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to a saline dressing in 60 subjects undergoing facial laser treatment.

## Questions and answers

### How well does the I’m From Rice Toner Pad work for dry skin?

This hydrating toner works okay for dry skin, offering moderate moisture and soothing flaky areas safely without harsh ingredients. To fit dry skin better, a product of this type needs a richer blend of deep moisturizers and softening ingredients to keep skin fully nourished and smooth.

### Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for dry skin?

Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid help quench dry skin by pulling in moisture, while Panthenol and Rice Extract soothe flaky areas and support your skin barrier. To fit dry skin even better, a toner of this type needs a richer blend of intense hydrators and smoothing ingredients to keep skin soft and deeply nourished all day.

### What does Rice Extract do for dry skin?

Rice extract helps keep dry skin hydrated and smooth while making it feel softer. It brings moisture back to the surface and supports overall skin barrier comfort.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35587098/), [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36613524/)

### What does Glycerin do for dry skin?

Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/)

### Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This hydrating toner goes right after cleansing in your morning routine. A product for dry skin needs extra rich moisturizing ingredients like plant oils or butters to deeply lock in moisture.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

### Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this hydrating toner with retinol by applying the toner first to damp skin and following with your retinol treatment once it absorbs. This helps keep your dry skin comfortable since Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Panthenol boost moisture and support the skin barrier while you use active ingredients.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### How often should I use this toner?

You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine after cleansing and before moisturizing. Dry skin needs products rich in moisture-attracting ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, alongside barrier-supporting ingredients such as panthenol and rice extract.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

### Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin, as it has a safe formula with a very low risk of irritation. However, because it offers only moderate moisture, dry skin generally needs richer ingredients like heavier oils or butters and deeply nourishing creams to stay fully soft and smooth.

### Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
