Bepanthen and Dexpanthenol are products based on Panthenol, which is a precursor of Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid). When applied to the skin, it converts into pantothenic acid, aiding in skin regeneration and hydration.
- Moisturizing Effect: Panthenol supplies moisture to the skin and forms a moisturizing barrier to prevent dryness. When mixed with cosmetics, it enhances moisture retention, helping to keep the skin hydrated.
- Skin Regeneration: Dexpanthenol promotes the recovery of damaged skin cells, making it effective for wound healing and skin regeneration. Mixing this ingredient into skincare products can help strengthen the skin barrier and repair damaged skin.
- Soothing Effect: Bepanthen and Dexpanthenol are effective in calming irritated skin, making them suitable for sensitive skin and post-acne care.
- Low Irritation: Panthenol is safe for use on various skin types, as it has minimal side effects and is low in irritation. It is often used in combination with moisturizing creams or essences, forming a protective layer and reducing irritation, making it ideal for daily skincare and wound treatment.
- Price: Dexpanthenol is more affordable compared to Bepanthen.
