How to benefit from the soothing properties of provitamin B5
There is a lmarge number of creams with D-panthenol, whose moisturizing action can provide temporary comfort. However, if your skin suffers from intense dryness, has very damaged areas, or you are unable to soothe it, the use of provitamin B5 in the form of a pure active ingredient is essential.
