Frequently asked questions
Can I use Panthenol and Vitamin E together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Panthenol and Vitamin E, and neither makes the other less effective. They share a goal (barrier and hydration), so together they reinforce each other.
Which goes first, Panthenol or Vitamin E?
Apply Panthenol first, then Vitamin E. 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 Vitamin E in the morning or at night?
Vitamin E: works morning or night. Look for it combined with vitamin C and ferulic acid. Very oily or acne-prone skin should avoid pure vitamin E oil.
