The Bepanthol Derma Restoring Daily Body Lotion for Dry Sensitive Skin is available here in a 200ml bottle. Its texture is light and it absorbs within seconds without leaving a greasy film, so you can dress immediately afterward. The formula includes panthenol, niacinamide, glycerin and plant lipids, while the manufacturer claims hydration lasting up to 48 hours.
This size meets two different needs. It acts as a moisturizing body lotion for travel, in your suitcase, in the office drawer or in the gym bag, and at the same time it is the most reasonable way for someone to try the Derma series before investing in the larger package. It is aimed at dry sensitive skin and skin with atopic predisposition.
Niacinamide, i.e. the amide form of vitamin B3, is included in the formula and appears as such in the INCI list published by the manufacturer. In the skin, it acts as a precursor molecule of the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are involved in the energy economy of the skin cells. That is why it is increasingly found in body products and not just in facial care.
In dry skin, its focus is on two points. It is related to the synthesis of ceramides and other intercellular lipids, i.e. the same material that is missing when the skin pulls and peels, and at the same time it has a soothing profile that helps reduce the sensation of tension. The manufacturer describes it as the soothing ingredient of the series that calms itchy dry skin.
Actives: panthenol, niacinamide, glycerin, squalane, butyrospermum parkii butter and argan oil.

Practical advice for the small size: keep it where the need arises, next to the office sink or in the car glove compartment, so that no hours of dryness go by without application. It is intended only for external use, it is not applied to mucous membranes or to injured skin and if irritation occurs, use is discontinued.
The formula is the same, but only the volume and packaging change. The 400ml bottle has a pump and serves full family use, while the 200ml is portable and convenient for travel or for first try of the series.
It is vitamin B3 and in this particular formula it is linked to soothing dry skin with a tendency to itch. It is not a whitening or depigmenting agent in the dosage of a body lotion.
The 200ml exceeds the 100ml limit that applies to liquids in carry-on luggage on most flights, so it practically travels in the checked baggage you check in. For car or train travel there is no restriction.
No, it is a cosmetic. It does not contain antibiotic, antifungal or cortisone and is not intended to treat infections.
