What the community says

What the science says
Panthenol, the main ingredient here, has some evidence for supporting the skin barrier, with studies showing it helps skin hold more water and lose less through the skin 1. Its effects on dehydrated skin also have some evidence, with reports of better moisture, smoother texture and less redness 2. In radiation-treated skin it slowed barrier damage, though it helped less than a steroid cream 1. Overall, the findings about skin barrier and dehydration have some evidence behind them 12.
