Panthenol is a humectant and emollient that penetrates deeply into the skin, while hyaluronic acid binds water at the surface. Together they provide both deep and surface-level hydration for maximum moisture retention.
Panthenol (provitamin B5) soothes irritation, promotes wound healing, and provides humectant hydration, all of which help counteract the common side effects of retinol (dryness, peeling, redness).
Both centella asiatica and panthenol are renowned for soothing and healing damaged skin. Together they provide enhanced anti-inflammatory and wound-healing support, making this combination ideal for post-procedure care or irritated skin.
