Topical cosmetic only. Panthenol/dexpanthenol is used at roughly 1-5% in moisturizers, soothing creams, and after-procedure ointments, applied to the skin as directed. There is no oral, injectable, or systemic dose in this context — oral vitamin B5 is separate. This library does not provide an ingestion protocol.

Split-area trial (n=38) after fractional CO2 laser: dexpanthenol ointment vs petroleum jelly
Based on limited meta-analysis (n=12) showing improved skin hydration. Oral bioavailability is questionable and most dermatological studies used topical/injectable forms. Low molecular weight forms may have better absorption.
