How it works
Panthenol leads the ingredient panel on this serum. Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Bambusa Vulgaris Extract and Allantoin. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key actives
Panthenol
Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Bambusa Vulgaris Extract
Bamboo extract. Bamboo concentrates silica as it grows, so the extract is used as a hydrating, mineral-bearing ingredient.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
Purito Seoul Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Serum
What does Panthenol do in this formula?
Panthenol is provitamin B5, a humectant and soothing ingredient used across toners, serums and creams. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits high on the ingredient list, among the formula's main working ingredients.
Is this the Korean-market formula or a US version?
This is the Korean-market formula Purito Seoul sells on shelves in Korea, not a version reformulated for the US shelf.
What step does this serum or ampoule go in a routine?
Apply a small amount to cleansed, toned skin, pat in gently, then follow with a moisturizer.
Can I use this with other actives in my routine?
Panthenol generally layers well alongside a normal routine; introduce any new active gradually and watch how your skin responds over the first week or two.

How to use
- Use it in the serum slot after toner, morning and night, on skin that has not yet dried.
- Three or four drops for the face and neck, pressed in with flat palms in one pass.
- Follow with a moisturizer to hold it in, and sunscreen last thing in the morning.
- Twice a day for a month. Do not add a new active in the same fortnight, or you will not know which one did what.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.

Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
