Findings

After laser facial treatments, a mask with panthenol, centella asiatica, and bisabolol reduced redness and dark spots better than saline alone at days 3, 7, and 14. It also kept skin more hydrated and reduced water loss through the skin barrier. No difference in side effects between the mask and standard care.
