PURITO Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream (100ml)

The formula is built around a few hardworking ingredients:

• Panthenol (10%): a form of vitamin B5 that draws moisture into the skin and supports barrier repair
• Squalane: a lightweight oil that softens and smooths without feeling heavy
• Niacinamide: helps even out skin tone and brighten dullness
• Bamboo extract: rich in minerals and silica to help lock in moisture and improve firmness
• Hydrolysed jojoba esters: reduces dryness and flakiness, improves elasticity
• Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate): pulls water into the skin for a plump, dewy feel
• Centella asiatica derivatives: soothe redness and help repair sensitive or irritated skin
• Copper tripeptide-1: supports skin repair and offers some antioxidant protection

A few things worth knowing before you buy:

• It's a medium-weight moisturiser, so if you have very dry skin or you're heading into winter, you may find it works better as a first layer with a richer cream on top.
• It's built around barrier repair and soothing rather than actives, so it won't do much for acne or pigmentation on its own.

Panthenol works on hydration in a few ways:

• As a humectant, it draws moisture into the skin and helps hold it there.
• It reinforces the skin barrier, reducing water loss so hydration lasts longer.
• It has soothing and repair properties, which helps a compromised barrier recover and retain moisture more effectively.

Bamboo extract (Bambusa Vulgaris Extract) is rich in natural silica and does a few things at once:

• Helps lock in moisture
• Supports collagen production for a plumper appearance
• Improves blood circulation for a healthier, more even complexion

Overall it contributes to the cream's hydrating and barrier-supporting effect.

It suits all skin types, including sensitive and barrier-compromised skin. It's especially useful if your skin is prone to redness, irritation, or feels dry and depleted. The texture is on the richer side, so oily skin types may prefer it as a night cream rather than a daytime moisturiser.

PURITO don't make a formal non-comedogenic claim for this cream, but it's lightweight, fragrance-free, and formulated to suit all skin types including oily and sensitive. If you're prone to clogged pores, a patch test before committing is always a good idea.

It's not a medical treatment for rosacea, but it does have several qualities that tend to suit rosacea-prone skin:

• Fragrance-free and gentle
• Helps soothe redness and inflammation
• Suitable for sensitive skin types

Patch-test first and introduce it slowly if your skin is reactive.
