Dexpanthenol-Vertex, 5% ointment 100 g

Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin and is a part of coenzyme A.

Stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cell metabolism, increases the strength of collagen fibers. The increased demand for pantothenic acid is observed when the skin or tissues are damaged, and its deficiency can be compensated by local application of dexpanthenol.

Optimal molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity allow its penetration into all skin layers. It has a regenerating, slightly anti-inflammatory effect.
