Science & Benefits

A chiral humectant and a precursor/byproduct of Panthenol. It acts as a conditioning agent that increases the water-holding capacity of the skin. It is zero-comedogenic. Its logic in an acne database is its synergistic effect with Vitamin B5, helping to mitigate the 'tightness' and flaking caused by active treatments like Benzoyl Peroxide or Adapalene.
