General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
soothing
The world's most overclaimed soothing ingredient — genuinely helpful for sunburn, mostly filler for everything else.
humectant
Panthenol is vitamin B5's topical form, and it's one of the most reliable barrier-repair ingredients available. It penetrates the skin and converts to pantothenic acid, enhancing hydration, accelerating wound healing, and reducing inflammation. It's boring, effective, and in more products than you'd think.
