"D-Panthenol" from Hungarian is a drug that has earned the trust of consumers. At the beginning of 2021, “D-Panthenol” (ointment and cream) appeared on the shelves of pharmacies under a new trade name - “D-Panthenol Novatenol”
in new packaging.
The manufacturer made the packaging even brighter and more attractive, but tried to preserve the individuality and recognition of the brand for consumers. At the same time, the quality of the product remains at the same high level - the buyer receives a European quality product with an expert approach to healing damaged skin. This is an excellent opportunity to once again remind you why pharmacists and consumers should pay attention to this drug.
“D-Panthenol Novatenol” is one of the popular drugs for the treatment of diseases accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin
(according to IQVIA data on Sell In sales in rubles as of January 2020)
. Dexpanthenol contained in the drug stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, accelerates mitosis and increases the strength of collagen fibers.
What is D-panthenol
D-panthenol (dexpanthenol) is a B vitamin that is a derivative of pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is an organic acid that gets its name from the Greek word "pantothene", which means "everywhere", due to its extremely wide distribution. When it enters the body, panthenol is converted through oxidation into the form of pantothenic acid itself, which is an integral part of coenzyme A - a molecule involved in the most important biochemical processes in the body: the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
In what form is Panthenol produced?
1. Shampoos containing this product help accelerate hair growth, protect it from adverse external influences and fight hair loss. They also help well against dandruff.
2. Hair balms with panthenol help improve combing of strands.
3. Panthenol ointment is used to treat wounds, abrasions and diaper dermatitis in infants.
4. “Panthenol” spray helps well against sun and thermal burns, even with a large surface area.
5. Anti-wrinkle cream “Panthenol” is popular among women because it copes well with dryness and any damage to the skin on the face. It can be used on dry and oily skin.
6. Gel “Panthenol” for wrinkles around the eyes is very effective. It has a light structure, is easily absorbed, and does not need to be rubbed in. It is not greasy and perfectly tightens bags under the eyes. “Panthenol” for wrinkles has become popular.
The mechanism of action of D-panthenol in the body
In every living organism, D-panthenol is synthesized independently in a certain amount, but its deficiency leads to a malfunction of all body systems, especially vitamin deficiency affects lipid metabolism, which leads to a significant deterioration in the condition of the skin, hair and nails. D-panthenol is an important element in the processes of hair growth and skin regeneration. A lack of panthenol in the body can provoke premature aging of the facial skin, lead to the appearance of unwanted pigmentation, cause hair loss and early gray hair. Panthenol regulates the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins, promotes better absorption of other vitamins by the body.
The effect of panthenol on wrinkles around the eyes
As you know, this product has proven its benefits for chemical or thermal effects on the skin. Some people's skin may be over-dried by soap, while others may have dry skin itself.
So, dry skin type is characterized by peeling, itching, burning and other unpleasant sensations. That is, external factors with this type of skin increase dryness. In this situation, the skin requires rehabilitation and protection. It is necessary to restore its barrier functions as quickly as possible.
In this case, panthenol significantly accelerates tissue regeneration, stimulating the growth of new cells. As a result, the skin becomes healthier and all unpleasant sensations disappear.
For extremely dry skin, ointments are the best option. Such medicines are made on a fat basis, so they will additionally nourish the skin. In other cases, you can use a spray.
As for wrinkles around the eyes, these are age-related changes. Yes, sometimes they appear earlier. This is due to lack of sleep, stress, smoking and other unfavorable factors. In fact, wrinkles are small folds and grooves.
But panthenol is powerless here. This drug cannot smooth the skin or restore its elasticity. It only restores the epidermis under external influence. But you can’t fight internal processes. Therefore, using such a product in the fight against wrinkles under the eyes is, at a minimum, useless
Use of D-panthenol, indications and contraindications
Due to its prevalence, panthenol is widely used in medicine and cosmetology, suitable for all skin and hair types. D-panthenol is used to eliminate excessive dryness of the skin, to heal cuts, and to eliminate violations of the integrity of the skin. D-panthenol is a safe component that has almost no contraindications for use, with the exception of possible individual intolerance to the drug. However, too frequent use of the vitamin in high concentrations can lead to significant peeling of the skin, since D-panthenol significantly accelerates the process of skin cell renewal.
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.

- D-panthenol is characterized by an effective wound-healing and anti-inflammatory effect: it accelerates the rate of restoration of damaged skin after burns, cuts, cracks, as well as after traumatic cosmetic procedures.

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?
