Frequently asked questions
Can I use Panthenol and Tranexamic Acid together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Panthenol and Tranexamic Acid, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (redness), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Panthenol or Tranexamic Acid?
Apply Tranexamic Acid first, then Panthenol. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Panthenol in the morning or at night?
Panthenol: works morning or night. Use daily. It is especially useful after over-exfoliation or sunburn.
Should I use Tranexamic Acid in the morning or at night?
Tranexamic Acid: works morning or night. Use once or twice daily for at least 8–12 weeks. It works best alongside a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.
