Frequently asked questions
Are Panthenol and Vitamin B5 the same?
Panthenol is "provitamin" B5: once applied, the skin converts it into pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), the form it knows how to use.
For which situations is it useful?
Tight skin, skin sensitized by cold or shaving, as a complement to retinol or acid routines — anywhere skin needs comfort.
Can it be used around the eyes?
Yes, it is a gentle and well-tolerated active ingredient, present in many eye contour treatments. Just avoid direct contact with the eye.
