CLINICAL TRIAL DETAILS
Panthenol reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and improved barrier function in multiple trials:
0.1% hyaluronic acid + 2% panthenol accelerated corneal wound healing in mice, with 87% less epithelial defect after 24 hours vs. control.
A 14-day study found improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced TEWL with a panthenol + hyaluronic acid serum.
