Ingredient callouts
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.40% - 2.10% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.50% - 1.15%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (arginine 1.00% - 1.50%, panthenol 1.40% - 2.10% and glycerin 3.60% - 5.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Moisturizing
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”: these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses
moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels
less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: panthenol
An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
