What it is
What it is
numbuzin No.1 Pantothenic B5 Active Soothing Serum is a 50ml serum with separate Pantothenic Acid and Panthenol entries. Niacinamide and Zinc PCA also give you comparison points with other hydrating serums. It is useful to start with those distinctions instead of treating the headline ingredient as the whole formula.
Similar names, different entries
Pantothenic Acid and Panthenol each appear in the list. Do not report only one or use Panthenol's position to infer the amount of Pantothenic Acid. The formula begins with Water, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide and Glycerin, giving context beyond a single name.
Betaine, Allantoin, Heartleaf, Centella and Licorice Root Extracts are listed alongside Alpha-Arbutin and Zinc PCA. Each is a formula comparison point, not a prediction of your personal oil output or breakout changes. A Pantothenic serum is not an oral vitamin supplement or an acne medicine.
Choose the serum within the No.1 range
Toners, creams and powders carrying the same number do not share this serum's formula and application method. The directions describe spreading along the skin and patting gently. The Korean notice mentions functional-cosmetic review or reporting without specifying the type in that field, so we do not infer a category from it. Check the 50ml bottle separately from a larger set.
Even if Pantothenic Acid is your main interest, check Jojoba Oil, Green Tea and Centella Leaf entries and any ingredient you have previously found unsuitable.
A label detail to check
No. Pantothenic Acid and Panthenol are separate ingredient entries; do not merge them based on the name.
Application and alternatives
Spread an appropriate amount gently along the skin. Pat lightly to help absorption.
WELLAGE Cica offers Madecassoside, Salicylic Acid and Gluconolactone entries; Torriden compares hyaluronic ingredients with Panthenol.

Key ingredients
- PanthenolEWG 1
A precursor to vitamin B5 that converts to pantothenic acid once absorbed. It works in two directions at once, holding water and helping settle the skin barrier, which is why it appears in both calming skincare and hair care. Its low irritation profile makes it a regular in sensitive-skin formulas.
The sodium salt of the compound that makes up the largest share of the skin's natural moisturising factor. It works by the same mechanism the stratum corneum uses to hold its own water, making it a foundation of hydration formulas. It feels light with virtually no tack.
- NiacinamideEWG 1
A form of vitamin B3 that acts on the step where melanin transfers into skin cells, which is the basis for its use in tone-evening products. Research also covers barrier lipid production and oil control, giving it unusually broad application. In Korea it is a listed brightening functional ingredient, commonly at 2 to 5 percent.
- AllantoinEWG 1
Sourced from comfrey root or made synthetically, it softens rough surface texture while calming the skin. It is well tolerated enough for baby and sensitive-skin products, where it has a long history. Poor water solubility keeps its usable concentration fairly low.
