The Bepanthol Cream is the classic cream of the range, with 5% provitamin B5 (dexpanthenol), in a 100gr package. It has a double action: it hydrates and protects externally, while at the same time accelerating the natural process of skin regeneration. It is fragrance-free, dye-free and microplastic-free, dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested.
If you are looking for a restorative cream for daily use, a regenerative cream that can be used on both face and body without weighing down, the Bepanthol cream is the most recognizable product in this category in the Greek pharmacy. The same product is also circulated internationally as Bepanthen cream, which is why you may also find it written as bepanthen, panthenol or bepantol.
Dexpanthenol is the precursor form of vitamin B5. When applied to the epidermis, it is absorbed and converted into pantothenic acid, which participates in the normal metabolism of keratinocytes. In practice, this means two things at the same time: the skin retains moisture better and the natural process of skin renewal is accelerated.
Therefore, the cream does not only work as a moisturizer. It is useful precisely in those moments when the epidermal barrier has been mechanically or thermally distressed, i.e. after shaving, after hair removal, after prolonged sun exposure or after a superficial aesthetic procedure, when the skin needs time and support to recover.
The texture is light, it absorbs quickly and does not leave white residues or shine. This is not a matter of aesthetic detail: a cream that sticks or soils clothes is not one that one would reapply three times a day, and dexpanthenol requires repeated application to make sense.
The absence of fragrance and dyes limits potential irritants, which is important for already sensitive skin. The cream is suitable for dry and sensitive to irritation skin, of all ages.

Yes, in the sense that provitamin B5 accelerates the natural process of skin regeneration. It is not a medicinal product and does not replace treatment for skin conditions.
The active ingredient is the same, panthenol. The difference is in the concentration, here 5%, and in the formulation, i.e. in the base of the cream that determines how well it is absorbed and how well it is tolerated by sensitive skin. A cheap 2% panthenol gel is not the same product.
Yes, it is one of the most common uses. After superficial laser treatment, it helps restore the function of the epidermal barrier. Always follow the instructions of your dermatologist or aesthetician as to when to start.
It is not an anti-wrinkle product. It hydrates and improves skin comfort, making dehydrated fine lines less visible, but it does not target aging. If this is what you are looking for, check out the Bepanthol Anti-Wrinkle Cream for Face, Eyes and Neck.
The cream supports hydration and natural renewal of the epidermis, but it is not a product for treating scars. For old or hypertrophic scars, there are specialized silicone formulations, ask your pharmacist.
No. It is not intended for open wounds, burns, syringes or folliculitis. These conditions require medical evaluation and often a different category of product.
It is neither antifungal nor antibiotic cream. Balanitis usually has a microbial or fungal cause and requires diagnosis and targeted treatment. Consult a doctor or pharmacist.
The classic cream is daily hydration and regeneration for dry, irritated skin. The Eczema is a medical device specifically for the itching and redness of atopic dermatitis, with lipids in petaloid layers and ceramides. If the main symptom is itching, the second is closer to what you are looking for.
For targeted use on face or hands, easily several months. For daily application on large body surfaces, several weeks.
