What are the
BENEFITS OF DEXPANTHENOL?
- Hydration:Dexpanthenol is known for its moisturising abilities. This ingredient can improve your skin’s hydration by attracting and retaining water, leaving your skin feeling softer, smoother and more supple.
- Skin barrier support:This ingredient reinforces your skin’s natural barrier, which is essential for protection against environmental stressors and for preventing moisture loss.
- Anti-inflammatory:Dexpanthenol has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in calming and soothing irritated or sensitive skin.
- Wound healing:It can promote skin healing by accelerating cell turnover and tissue repair, which can be beneficial for minor cuts, burns, or everyday skin irritations.
- Anti-aging:Dexpanthenol contributes to a more youthful appearance by reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting a smoother skin texture.
- Dry skin:Dexpanthenol’s exceptional moisturising properties make it an excellent choice for helping with dryness. It deeply hydrates your skin, helping to restore its natural moisture balance.
- Sensitive skin:If you have sensitive skin that’s prone to redness and irritation, Dexpanthenol’s soothing qualities can provide relief and promote everyday skin comfort.
- Oily skin:Despite having hydrating properties, Dexpanthenol is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. This makes it suitable for oily skin types, as it adds hydration without increasing oiliness or heaviness.
- Acne-prone skin:
Dexpanthenol’s anti-inflammatory properties can help calm skin inflammation associated with acne, making it a valuable addition to acne-fighting skincare routines.
- Aging skin:Dexpanthenol contributes to a more youthful-looking complexion by helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Panthenol vs
DEXPANTHENOL
Panthenol and Dexpanthenol are closely related compounds often used in skincare products. Panthenol, also known as Provitamin B5, is converted to Dexpanthenol (Vitamin B5) when it comes into contact with your skin, providing benefits such as hydrating the skin and supporting the skin’s barrier.
The key difference lies in their chemical structure; Dexpanthenol is a form of Panthenol and tends to be more readily absorbed by the skin, making it a preferred choice for many skincare formulations.
Ultimately, whether you choose Panthenol or Dexpanthenol in your skincare products, each option will provide the moisturising and skin-soothing benefits associated with Vitamin B5 once they come into contact with your skin. NIVEA’s Nivea Creme 75ml contains Panthenol, which provides instant freshness and hydration.
