PURITO - TasTheStuff review for B5 Panthenol Re-Barrier Cream

*I’m aware that this is slightly different but I believe this is a reformulation or a very similar product! I had high expectations for this, especially since it’s been hyped all over my socials. Panthenol is one of the latest buzzwords in Korean skincare, and I’m all in for it—I actually love it for my sensitive, acne-prone, oily-combination skin. Purito Seoul’s Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream contains 100,000 PPM of panthenol (which translates to 10%), much higher than the typical market standard of 1-5%. As we’re shifting into the colder season where I live, I’ve become more selective with hydrating and moisturizing creams that truly benefit my skin. I’m happy to say I’ve taken a liking to this cream, but one drawback keeps me from completely loving it. Here are the reasons why I rate this a solid 4/5: 🎋 The ingredient concentration is exactly what’s advertised—10% panthenol base, much higher than the market average. It’s soothing, and leaves your skin looking glowy and hydrated, with that coveted glass-like skin effect. 🎋 It’s genuinely fragrance-free! Perfect for all skin types, especially for those with acne-prone and oily-combination skin like mine. No pore-clogging at all. 🎋 I love how it initially settles into my skin—it has a semi-dewy finish. With moisturizing stars like squalane and sodium hyaluronate, you can expect your skin’s moisture barrier to strengthen over time. 🎋 The texture is a rich, semi-opaque gel that feels luxurious without being too heavy. Application feels so good! 🎋 The one downside? The slightly tacky after-feel that sticks around for more than 10 minutes. I’m not sure if it’s just the batch I received, but it’s a bit bothersome. It takes longer than I’d like for that feeling to disappear, and honestly, I’d rather not deal with it. Overall, I’d still rate this a solid 4/5! *Gifted by Purito Seoul @purito_official.
