Why Provitamin B5 Matters Here
Panthenol converts to vitamin B5 in the skin. It draws moisture in and holds it close, supporting the barrier throughout the day. This keeps irritants out and comfort in, even when skin feels stressed. Korean brands pair panthenol with calming botanicals like centella and ceramides. The result is steady hydration that builds gently with each layer. Your skin stays soft, calm, and protected all day long.
