The Bepanthol Intensive Face and Eye Cream is a 50ml cosmetic face cream with a rich but non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly and leaves no shine. Its formula is based on provitamin B5 (panthenol) and madecassoside, supplemented with karite butter, sunflower oil, squalane, ceramides and cholesterol. It is a 2-in-1 product: the same formula covers the face and the sensitive area around the eyes, without the need for a separate eye cream.
It is aimed at those looking for cream for very dry face, intensive hydration for face and eyes or eye cream with panthenol, for skin that tightens after cleansing, peels on the cheekbones or looks tired and dehydrated by cold, air conditioning and frequent sun exposure. According to the manufacturer, the formula is non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types.
Panthenol is the provitamin form of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). In the skin it is converted to pantothenic acid and works in two ways: it retains water in the keratin layer because it is a strong hygroscopic molecule, and it supports the natural process of epidermis regeneration. That is why panthenol is the common active ingredient of all Bepanthol series, from the classic body cream to face products.
However, very dry skin not only lacks water, but also lipids. The epidermal barrier works like a wall: keratinocytes are the bricks and lipids, namely ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids, are the mortar. When the mortar thins, water escapes (transepidermal water loss) and the skin becomes rough, sensitive and prone to irritation. The formula contains three types of ceramides (Ceramide NP, AP and EOP), cholesterol, phytosphingosine and sphingosine, which are the building materials of this mortar, along with urea, sodium PCA, lactate, inositol and glycine that belong to the natural moisturizing factor of the skin.
Madecassoside is an active ingredient derived from the plant Centella asiatica. In the cosmetic literature it is described as a soothing and antioxidant ingredient that, according to the manufacturer, enhances collagen synthesis and improves the sense of elasticity and suppleness. In a self-assessment of 20 women over 14 days, as published by the manufacturer, 95% reported hydrated skin on the face and eye area and 91% smoother and softer skin.
Actives: provitamin B5 (panthenol), madecassoside, natural lipids and ceramides, sunflower oil.

Warning for contact allergens: the formula contains lanolin (Lanolin) and BHT. If you have known sensitivity to lanolin, consult your pharmacist or dermatologist before use.
Form: face and eye cream, 50ml.
Application: apply evenly to the face with gentle circular motions, once or more times a day. In the eye area, apply dabbing, starting from the inner corner to the outer and on the upper eyelid, with light circular motions. It can be used daily on the face, neck and décolleté, as well as a makeup base.
Practical advice: apply it on slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing, because this way more moisture is trapped. In the evening you can use a slightly larger amount on the peeling areas. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and rinse with plenty of water if it happens. Stop use in case of irritation. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and do not use on open wounds.
The Hydrating Face Cream has a lighter texture, based on 5% provitamin B5 with vitamins A, C and E in liposomes and is intended for daily hydration of the face. The Intensive is richer, adds ceramides, karite butter and madecassoside and covers the eye area. For very dry or distressed skin choose the Intensive, for normal daily hydration choose the Hydrating.
The Anti-Wrinkle has a different target: peptides and vitamin A for the appearance of wrinkles and suppleness. The Intensive aims at hydration and restoration of the feeling of comfort in very dry skin. If your main concern is dryness, start with the Intensive.
