The description of Panthenol cream says that this product is recommended for use in the presence of various types of damage to the skin. It has a regenerating and restorative effect, and also moisturizes the skin. Based on this, many women ask the question: “Is it possible to use Panthenol cream for the face, given all its positive characteristics?” We propose to find the answer to this question together, based on the opinion of experienced cosmetologists.

What composition?

Before discussing the effectiveness of a particular product, it is important to study its composition, since the presence of an allergy to one of the components is a reason to completely abandon the use of this drug.

The main active ingredient in the composition of the drug "Panthenol" is dexpanthenol (a medicine, a B vitamin - a derivative of pantothenic acid). It is this that promotes skin regeneration to a greater extent, as a result of which metabolic processes are launched and the integument is restored. Also contains: glycerin, white soft paraffin, lanolin, paraffin, stearyl and cetyl alcohols, purified water.

D-Panthenol is also known as Vitamin B5 (provitamin B5) or Panthenol Panthenol is a reduced form of pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is vitamin B5. A lack of vitamin B5 affects the hair through premature greying, loss of shine, brittleness, thinning and hair loss. External supply of vitamin B5 helps solve these problems. Appearance: colorless, transparent, slightly viscous, hygroscopic liquid. Composition: D-Panthenol (minimum 75%), water Recommended input percentage: 0.5-5% Method of application: panthenol is added to the aqueous phase of cosmetic formulations. A 75% solution of D-Panthenol is very easy to measure with a syringe or pipette with graduations. Panthenol can be added to cream, tonic, shampoo, hair mask (i.e. to any product containing water). Solubility: Easily miscible with water, ethanol, methanol and propylene glycol. Soluble in ethers and chloroform. Slightly soluble in glycerin. Insoluble in vegetable oils and fats. Stability: D-panthenol is stable to light and air, but not to elevated temperatures (above 70°C). In a slightly acidic environment, aqueous solutions of D-panthenol are much more stable than salts of pantothenic acid. The component is not stable in strong acids and bases. Recommended pH level: 4-8. Description: Panthenol belongs to enantiomers, that is, it comes in two forms D and L. But only D-panthenol (dexpanthenol) is biologically active. D-panthenol effectively heals the skin, moisturizes, improves hair structure and shine. There is evidence of partial restoration of gray hair color. The low molecular weight of dexpanthenol, hydrophilicity and low polarity make it possible for active substances to penetrate into all layers of the skin. When applied topically, it is quickly absorbed and converted into pantothenic acid and binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin). Pantothenic acid is necessary to maintain normal epithelial function; an increased need for it is noted when the skin or tissues are damaged. It is responsible for the structuring and functioning of living tissues, the stability of mucous membranes, hair growth and pigmentation. Cosmetic use: D-panthenol is used in cosmetics for its dermatological and conditioning properties. Skin care: • acts as a deeply penetrating moisturizer; • stimulates epithelization; • serves for wound healing; • exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect; • antibacterial effect. Hair care: • provides long-lasting hydration; • prevents hair damage, including that caused by combing, overheating, etc.; • thickens hair; • improves their shine and gloss. Nail care: • improves the hydration of keratin, which is part of the nail; • improves the flexibility and strength of nails. Indications: • in children - diaper dermatitis, scratches, minor irritations after exposure to the sun, ultraviolet and x-ray radiation, for the treatment and prevention of diaper rash; • cracks and inflammation of the nipples in nursing mothers; • violations of the integrity of the skin caused by mechanical, chemical, temperature factors or after surgery (burns of various origins (including sunburn), scratches, abrasions, wounds, bedsores, poorly healing skin grafts, aseptic postoperative wounds); • inflammatory processes on the skin, dermatitis, boils, trophic ulcers of the lower extremities; • treatment and prevention of the consequences of adverse effects on the skin of environmental factors (including cold, wind, humidity).

Can Panthenol be used instead of face cream?

Cosmetologists do not recommend replacing face cream with Panthenol, despite its positive effects on the skin. This product must be used according to the instructions for medicinal purposes when there is any damage or after a series of cosmetic procedures.

Panthenol anti-wrinkle cream at home is not recommended for frequent use. Experts suggest its use to eliminate wrinkles, dryness on the face or give elasticity to the skin in the autumn-winter period. The main thing to remember is that Panthenol is not recommended for constant use. The course should not exceed 5-7 days, then you should take a break.

To eliminate wrinkles and other skin problems, cosmetologists recommend using special cosmetics that contain Panthenol. In addition to panthenol, anti-wrinkle cosmetics also contain other components that help eliminate the problem. Also, professional face creams can be selected according to skin type: dry, oily, combination, acne-prone.

Panthenol can be used in homemade face masks to moisturize and nourish the skin. In this case, a small amount of the drug is added to the prepared composition, applied to the skin, excluding the area around the eyes, and carefully washed off after the set time.

"Panthenol" against wrinkles

The opinions of cosmetologists on this matter are divided. Some say that this product is good for dealing with wrinkles, while others say that this is just another myth. Experience shows that the product will not work against deep wrinkles, but it will remove small expression wrinkles. In addition, Panthenol will help prevent the appearance of new wrinkles and slow down the aging process of the skin.

A mask will also be effective against wrinkles. To prepare it, dilute a few drops of camphor and tea tree oil with a small amount of Panthenol. Before using the mask, cleanse your skin, preferably with a scrub. Apply the mask in a thin layer on your face and leave for 20 minutes. It is best to do the mask at night so that the skin has time to rest. To achieve the effect, it is enough to carry out 1-2 procedures per week.

The mask nourishes the skin well, tightens it and gives a healthy glow. After just a couple of uses, you can notice how the skin changes. And thanks to its healing and anti-inflammatory properties, the mask helps get rid of skin irritation and heal all wounds.

• If unpleasant sensations (burning, pain) occur, the composition must be washed off immediately;
• Before starting a cosmetic procedure, you should make sure that there is no allergic reaction to the ingredients included in the mask.

How to use: instructions for use

Panthenol as a facial and body care product must be used with extreme caution. An excess of vitamin B5, which is listed as the main component in the composition of the product, is also undesirable for the skin, as is its deficiency.

Before applying Panthenol, it is necessary to conduct an allergy test, then select the appropriate form of the drug:

• cream or ointment for dry skin;
• spray - for combination, oily skin.

Apply to dry, make-up-free skin in the evening. Leave for 30 minutes, then remove any remaining residue with a paper towel.

Panthenol is not a universal magic remedy for wrinkles, acne and other skin problems, but it is effective in the presence of wounds, burns, redness, and cracks. Cosmetologists recommend having this product in your home medicine cabinet so that, when necessary, you can use it for the intended purpose indicated in the instructions.
