Description
The No. 1 Pantothenic B5 Active Soothing Serum is a high-performance, multi-function serum designed to soothe stressed or breakout-prone skin, regulate excess oil, and reinforce the skin’s barrier. It features pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) microspheres as the star ingredient, paired with niacinamide, beta-glucan, Soothing Booster 12 Complex (including licorice root extract, Sophora angustifolia root extract), and hydrating ingredients like trehalose and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid.
This lightweight serum offers quick-absorbing hydration, calming relief, and formulation aimed at reducing oil-driven breakouts or irritation, making it ideal for skin that’s oily, combination, or prone to blemishes and barrier disruption.
Size: 50ML
Skin Type
Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin — especially where excess sebum, clogged pores or breakout marks are present.
Skin that is sensitive or barrier-challenged: the formula includes multiple soothing and calming agents to support recovery.
Users looking for a serum that targets oil regulation + soothing rather than heavy occlusion or rich emollient finish.
Key Benefits
Soothes irritation & strengthens the barrier — With panthenol, beta-glucan, licorice root extract and the Soothing Booster 12 Complex, the serum helps calm redness, irritation and support skin recovery.
Regulates excess oil & minimizes breakouts — Pantothenic acid helps balance sebum production, which can reduce clogged pores and subsequent breakouts.
Hydrates quickly and efficiently — Trehalose, hyaluronic acid derivatives and glycerin make the serum absorb fast (claims “moisture in 7 seconds”) and deliver hydration without heaviness.
Brightens & refines skin tone and texture — Niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, licorice root and other botanical extracts support visible clarity and smoother surface.
Lightweight, non-sticky finish — Good for layering under moisturiser or for skin that dislikes heavy textures.
Key Ingredients
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) — core functional ingredient aimed at oil regulation, barrier support and calming skin.
Niacinamide — supports barrier lipids, refines texture, brightens tone and regulates sebum.
Beta-Glucan — soothing, hydrative polysaccharide that helps visibly calm stressed skin.
Soothing Booster 12 Complex — composed of botanicals like licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza Uralensis), Sophora angustifolia root extract, and other calming extracts to reduce irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid & derivatives (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, etc.) — multi-layer hydration for plumper, comfortable skin.
Zinc PCA — helps regulate sebum and support clearer skin

Pregnancy and Nursing Safe
YES
While the product contains safe ingredients, we recommend you consult your healthcare professional before introducing new skincare products as every pregnancy is unique.
How to use
After cleansing and applying your toner/essence, dispense two to three drops of the serum onto your face (and neck if desired).
Gently smooth the serum across your skin and pat lightly until absorbed — especially important for your areas of flaky dry skin to avoid friction.
Follow immediately with your barrier-repair cream or rich moisturiser (which you prioritise) to lock in the actives and strengthen your skin.
Frequency recommendation for your skin:
Start with 2–3 times per week at night until you confirm your skin tolerates it with no irritation.
Once your barrier is more stable, you may use it nightly or morning and night depending on your routine.
On mornings when you use the serum (if you choose to), follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen (because even though this serum isn’t a heavy exfoliant, skin with active/sebum-prone issues still benefits from solid sun protection).
On nights when your skin is feeling particularly flaky, raw or you’ve used strong treatments/exfoliants: skip other heavy actives, use this serum + your rich barrier cream.
Tip for your condition: Because your skin has flaky dry patches + occasional cystic acne, you may apply this serum primarily on areas prone to oil/excess sebum (e.g., T-zone/jawline) and on drier zones layer a richer cream or use a dedicated repair cream on those nights.
