Reviews
Before drawing a conclusion about the effectiveness of Panthenol, I carefully studied all the reviews. I want to share some of them with you.
Caroline : I have very dry skin. I tried different creams and masks. Nothing helped. I decided to apply panthenol “at random”. I was amazed at the effect: my skin immediately became soft, and the dryness went away over time.
Svetik : I have a terrible allergy to this drug. After applying it, the skin becomes covered with red spots, swells and itches. I used panthenol after peeling as a restorative agent. It was terrible on my skin! This remedy is definitely contraindicated for me.
Anastasia : A cosmetologist recommended Panthenol to me. I applied the cream at night and I am delighted with the results. The expensive products used before did not help as much as pentenol.
Inna : I wouldn’t want to clog my pores and get pimples. I think it's better to use cosmetic creams.
Lyudmila : With the onset of winter, the skin becomes terribly chapped and flaky. I apply panthenol before going outside. He is my salvation.
Yaroslava : I don’t mind applying Panthenol a couple of times as a nourishing mask. But nothing more. Whatever you say, it is still a medicine.
special instructions
The drug should be stored out of the reach of children at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees. Sold in pharmacies without a prescription, the shelf life of the ointment is 2 years, and the cream - 1.5 years. It is strictly not recommended to use the product after the expiration date, especially if its consistency, color or smell has changed.
D-Panthenol is not recommended for use on wet or open wound surfaces, and treatment of trophic ulcers and poorly healing skin grafts is carried out under medical supervision. The substance can be applied either under a bandage or without it at any time of the day. Drug interactions of D-Panthenol with other local or oral agents have not been established. At the same time, it has the ability to enhance or reduce the effect of other medications, so if complex therapy is necessary, you should consult your doctor.
How does panthenol work?
The main substance in this drug is dexpanthenol (vitamin B). Upon contact with the skin, it turns into pantothenic acid and actively plays its role of protecting our skin from external influences. This medicine has excellent anti-inflammatory and restorative properties.
Prescribed for the following problems:
- burns;
- diaper rash;
- boils;
- dermatitis;
- bedsores;
- cracked nipples during breastfeeding;
- other damage to the skin and mucous membrane.
This drug is really effective in all these listed cases. Therefore, if you don’t already have it in your medicine cabinet, be sure to buy it. I understood from my own experience how it restored my skin after a terrible burn. Last year we went island hopping in Thailand. Four islands in one day. Of course, I used sunscreen. But after I swam a couple of times, the cream was completely washed off.
How burned I was that day! It was terrible. My skin became the same color as my hot pink T-shirt. Panthenol just saved me. It causes skin regeneration quite quickly and new cells grow rapidly.
Characteristics of medicines
To compare drugs, you need to study their properties.
Panthenol and D-Panthenol are analogues of each other. The drugs are classified as healing drugs. The active component of the medicine is dexpanthenol. Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid, which is necessary for the processes of oxidation, acetylation, formation and processing of protein and fat molecules. Dexpanthenol accelerates the restoration and formation of cells of the skin, mucous membranes and other tissues of the body. The substance can reduce the inflammatory response. According to the instructions, medications are necessary for inflammatory pathologies of the oral, nasal cavity, larynx, and bronchial mucosa. Medicines in the form of ointments can be prescribed for intestinal atony and malabsorption. For external use, medications are prescribed for the treatment of wound and burn surfaces, abscess formation of the skin, cracked nipples and anus. Medicines can be used in infants to treat diaper dermatitis. Analogues of healing agents are Bepanten, Pantoderm.
Varieties of panthenol
A huge variety of drugs based on dexpanthenol have been produced. It is added to hand creams, lubricants, hygienic lipsticks and baby diaper rash creams.
I will give analogues of medicines: D Panthenol, Bepanten, Panthenol-Ratiopharm, Dexpanthenol and others.
It is produced in different forms:
- Cream and ointment . These drugs usually contain 5% of the active substance. Ointments are made on a fat basis, and creams are made on an emulsion basis. That is why the latter are used on open areas of the body. But ointments have a more pronounced softening effect.
- Spray . This is the easiest option to use. When applying the drug, you do not have to make unnecessary contact with your hands on the affected surface of the wound. The composition contained inside the can forms foam when sprayed. This substance, light in texture, penetrates deeply into the skin.
The price of these drugs usually depends on the dosage form and brand. Ointments and creams are considered the cheapest: the price varies from 120 to 200 rubles. The spray will cost a little more than 180-300 rubles.

Indications for use
What is Panthenol ointment used for? Indications for the use of D-Panthenol ointment include violations of the integrity of the skin caused by various factors, including:
- scratches, abrasions and wounds caused by mechanical damage;
- burns of various origins - from exposure to boiling water, sunlight, chemicals;
- dermatitis - atopic, diaper rash, etc.;
- skin irritations caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation or low temperatures;

- trophic ulcers, bedsores, diaper rash;
- postoperative wounds, skin grafts, especially those that take poorly;

- damage to the anal canal and cervical pathology.
The drug is used both to eliminate the above problems and to prevent them. For mild to moderate damage to the epidermis, D-Panthenol can be used without additional funds. For deep lesions, the drug is used as part of complex therapy under the supervision of a physician.
Panthenol in cosmetology
Reviews from cosmetologists about panthenol as a restorative agent are quite good. This drug is usually used for complex rehabilitation after peeling, tattooing and hair removal.
In this case, it is simply a magic wand that helps restore the skin. But for some reason cosmetologists do not know about the use of panthenol to combat wrinkles.
Before using panthenol for facial care, be aware that this drug contains auxiliary components:
- liquid paraffin;
- petrolatum;
- anhydrous lanolin.
If you have dry skin, then everything is fine. You can safely use this facial product a couple of times a week. This product is perfect for nourishing dry skin. It is especially good for flaky skin in the autumn-winter period. By the way, according to reviews, it was the owners of dry skin who sang the praises of panthenol. It is this that creates a protective barrier and perfectly maintains the necessary level of moisture in the skin.
And if you have normal or oily skin, clogged pores and “luxurious” acne are guaranteed. It is a bit heavy due to the auxiliary components. Do you want to look like kitten Musty, covered in pimples?
