Composition and properties of panthenol spray
Panthenol has regenerative functions due to vitamin B, its main active ingredient is dexpanthenol, which, when applied to the skin, becomes pantothenic acid. She is building material coenzyme A, and also participates in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Its participation in the synthesis of acetylcholine and corticosteroid hormones promotes rapid tissue regeneration.
Of the additional ingredients in the spray add:
- alcohol;
- wax;
- mineral oil;
- peracetic acid;
- purified water;
- propane;
- butane;
- isobutane.
Application of panthenol spray
The method of application of panthenol spray is the same for all areas of the skin: holding the spray in a vertical position, evenly spray the foam, shaking the bottle well before that.
Panthenol hair spray
To make hair stronger, stop splitting and grow faster, spray on hair and scalp for 1 hour, and then rinse. You can make such a mask from pure panthenol no more than 1 time per week, because. panthenol accumulates in the body.
Panthenol burn spray
In order for the skin to recover faster, use the spray 4 times a day, in the first few days after the onset of burns, and then it is enough to apply it to the skin 2 times a day.
Panthenol facial spray
This remedy can be used undiluted for acne, wounds and severe dry skin daily at night, however, be aware that it contains mineral oil and wax, which can contribute to acne, despite the antibacterial and healing properties of panthenol itself. Also, panthenol foam can be added to various masks, and it does not matter what the ratio of panthenol to the rest of the ingredients is, since it can be used undiluted, and therefore it is impossible to overdose as part of the mask.

On the hair, the product can be kept up to 3 hours, if not allergic reactions.
Panthenol spray analogues
There are several analogues of panthenol spray containing the same active substance:
- D-panthenol spray from Medicprogress.
- Panthenol aerosol from Charvin Ankerpharm.
The remaining analogues are represented by other forms of the drug: ointments and creams.
Important information. It is undesirable to constantly use panthenol: you need to give the skin time to wean from this remedy, especially since it is involved in the formation of corticosteroids - adrenal hormones that quickly respond to excess steroids in the body. It is desirable to intervene in the chain of hormone synthesis only in extreme cases.

Panthenol- a drug that can be used for many injuries of the skin - cracks, non-healing wounds and ulcers, bedsores, diaper rash, dermatitis. However, it is most effective in the treatment of burns of various origins - solar, chemical, thermal, electrical.
Possessing pronounced healing properties, Panthenol promotes faster and faster recovery of damaged tissues, protecting them from scarring.
The use of Panthenol for burns
Limited by the severity of the resulting burn. The drug is used for burns of the 1st and 2nd degree, which are often obtained at home or with, and which can be treated at home. With such burns, Panthenol is used for external use in the form of an ointment, cream or spray. In general, any of these forms helps to effectively cope with the burn, however, the spray is more convenient to use, they can treat the affected area without touching the painful areas.
The active ingredient of the drug is dexpanthenol. In the body, it is converted into pantothenic acid, which is found in all tissues, and actually stimulates the restoration of the skin, accelerates the growth of the epithelium, and increases the strength of collagen fibers. The tissue affected by the burn is deficient in pantothenic acid, which is replenished with Panthenol. The drug, in addition to regenerating properties, has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Ointment Panthenol 5% contains in 1 gram 50 mg of dexpanthenol and excipients (white petrolatum, lanolin, liquid paraffin), due to which it is the most fatty form of the drug. The ointment has a softening effect, stays on the skin longer, it is used to heal local burns.
Cream Panthenol 5% contains 50 mg of dexpanthenol in 1 gram and excipients, thanks to which it has a light texture, penetrates the skin faster, moisturizing it and not leaving a greasy film. It is convenient to apply it on the skin with sunburn, when you need to restore large surfaces.
Panthenol ointment or cream is applied topically in a thin layer, directly to the affected area of the skin, rubbing lightly. Apply the drug 2-4 times a day, which is determined by the severity of the burn. If necessary, the drug can be applied more often. A sterile dressing is not required. When applying an ointment or cream to an infected area of the skin, it is pre-treated with any antiseptic solution.
Usually, the drug is applied the first two days after the burn at least 4 times a day, and then 2 times a day until the skin is completely restored.
Spray Panthenol 4.63% contains 4.63 grams of dexpanthenol per 100 grams. The spray is applied to the affected areas of the skin for several seconds, evenly distributing over the surface. It has a cooling effect, and after the appearance of foam, it forms a thin film at the burn site with a dermatoprotective effect that prevents fluid loss. The spray is applied several times a day, depending on the severity of local changes.
The drug is most effective when applied the first hours after the burn. It is well tolerated, very rarely causing allergic reactions, and is contraindicated in case of intolerance.

Our whole family uses panthenol spray for sunburn. We always take it with us to nature. Especially at sea, since you can’t kick children out of the water, and they burn badly in the sun. We spray red skin, so it heals very well. Only when I buy a spray, I always pay attention to the smiley face, as this is an original spray, not a fake.
Evgenia Berezovskaya
I also like Panthenol SPRAY more with a smile on the logo. Very good. High European quality. It relieves pain, and, when applied, there is a slight coolness. But in general, of course, it is more hygienic to treat wounds with contactless treatment with just the same spray, rather than creams or ointments ... especially sensitive skin child.

That year, they treated sunburn more than once, since the summer was hot, and we often went on vacation. So I can say that the skin is restored so that even traces of them do not remain. True, I take not only which one, but only the original one with a smiley face on the packaging and bottle, and the “Made in Europe” sign, which appeared not so long ago.
During the summer holidays, pharmacies increase sales of not only activated carbon, but also Panthenol, because the active sun can make any vacation not only pleasant, but also painful.

pharmachologic effect
Dermatoprotective , local anti-inflammatory . The drug compensates for the deficiency of pantothenic acid and stimulates regenerative processes.
Dexpanthenol - what is it?
Dexpanthenol is an alcoholic analogue pantothenic acid , which, biotransforming in the body, provides the same effects as pantothenic acid ( pantothenate or vitamin B5 ).
Upon contact with the skin, the substance is rapidly absorbed into the tissues, while turning into an active form - vitamin B5 (water soluble in group B vitamin ).
The latter, in turn, is part of the specific coenzyme CoA, which is the main regulator of metabolic processes (the Krebs cycle, the metabolism of fatty acids, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, phospholipids, etc.), provides acetylation of choline and the formation of corticosteroids.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Pantothenate , dexpanthenol and their anhydrous salts are water soluble vitamins . They are actively involved in fat, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, and also perform an important function in the processes of oxidation and acetylation.
During metabolic processes interacts with B-group vitamins . Participates in the formation of epithelial tissue and ensures its normal functioning, reduces itching and exhibits weak anti-inflammatory activity.
When applied topically, the drug allows you to compensate for the increased need for damaged skin and / or mucous membranes in pantothenic acid.
The active substance is absorbed by the skin.
Bioavailability ingested with food pantothenate - fifty%. In the body, the substance is transported due to the formation of bonds with plasma proteins (mainly And β-globulins ).
In healthy adults, the concentration of pantothenic acid in the blood when applied topically is 0.5-1 mg / ml, in the blood serum - 0.1 mg / ml.
The active substance is not metabolized in the body (except for inclusion in Co-A). About ⅔ of pantothenic acid that enters the body unchanged (about 70%) is excreted by the kidneys, the remaining amount is excreted with feces.

Panthenol for the face
One of important properties dexpanthenol is its hygroscopicity. A substance, like a sponge, attracts water molecules to itself and holds them. The tiny size of the molecules itself dexpanthenol allows it to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, transporting water there as well.
The substance is a precursor vitamin B5 who, like everyone else B vitamins , contributes to the elimination skin hypovitaminosis , its excessive dryness, sagging and roughness, heals acne.

Ointment for facial skin care is not suitable. The use of Pantexol in this form can cause clogging of pores and oxygen starvation of skin cells.
From acne, a mask with Panthenol cream helps well, and camphor oils And tea tree (Melaleuki ). Camphor disinfects, deodorizes, cleanses and whitens the skin, reduces its fat content and improves elasticity. Melaleuca oil relieves inflammation well, has antifungal , antibacterial And antiseptic action .

Bepanthen or Panthenol - which is better?
Bepanthen , like D-Panthenol, is synonymous with Panthenol. The drug is produced by the German company Bayer (BCC AG) in the form of a 5% cream and 5% ointment. The benefits of Panthenol are more dosage forms and lower than the analogue price.
The clinical efficacy of drugs, according to consumer reviews, is comparable.
Which is better - Panthenol or Olazol?
The active ingredients of the drug Olazol are chloramphenicol, boric acid, and sea buckthorn fruit oil.
Thanks to this composition, Olazol renders antibacterial And local anesthetic action promotes the regeneration of damaged tissues, reduces exudation and accelerates epithelization wounds.
Antibacterial activity drug appears in relation to Pseudomonas aeruginosa , coli , staphylococci , protea and a number of other pathogenic microorganisms often found in wounds.
Therapeutic effect Olazol provided by the high dispersion of its constituent substances.
In dermatology, the agent is used to activate sluggish granulation, improve the survival rate of skin grafts during skin transplantation on burnt body surfaces, remove necrotic masses and purulent discharge from wounds and ulcers, reduce the separation of exudate from non-healing trophic ulcers in patients with venous and arterial insufficiency lower extremities, accelerating the healing of long-term non-healing chemical and thermal burns (Panthenol is more suitable for the treatment of thermal burns), treatment of post-traumatic wound infection, pruritic dermatitis, microbial eczema, infectious dermatitis.
Olazol unlike Panthenol, it has a wider therapeutic profile, due to the presence in its composition anesthesin And antibiotic . Besides, Olazol can be used to treat profusely weeping wounds.
The disadvantages of this drug are the lack of different dosage forms (the product is available only in the form of an aerosol), as well as the inability to use during pregnancy, in nursing women and in children. Part Olazol includes many more components than Panthenol, so the likelihood of development allergic reactions against the background of its use is higher than in the case of Panthenol.
