Hello, I would like to ask for advice on the following formula before ordering ingredients. I want a cream that reduces wrinkles, melasma, and freckles, tightens skin and pores, brightens the face, provides moisture, and does not cause irritation, suitable for sensitive skin. Here is the proposed formula: * Allantoin 0.2% * Light Cream Maker 1% * Pep-Coll 3% * Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 6% * Safe B3 3% * Wrinkle-Lax 0.4% * Japanese Cedar 1% * Repair Activator 10% * GlucoBright 3% * Mild Preserved Eco 1% * Rice bran oil 10% * DI Water 60.4% I have additional questions: 1. Could you please advise on the steps for adding each ingredient? 2. How long can the finished cream be stored at room temperature? 3. If the formula above is not suitable or has practical drawbacks, please suggest adjustments and more suitable ingredients. 4. If I hope to see results after using for about 1 month, how likely is that? And which benefits are likely to be seen first (wrinkle reduction, melasma/freckle reduction, softer skin, brighter face, etc.)?

I am developing a serum for sensitive skin, aiming for brightening, smoothness, and overall skin health. The formula should be free from oil, silicone, fragrance, color, and preservatives.

Repair Activator™: 10% 4. Rhamnose (น้ำตาลแรมโนส): 3% 5. German Chamomile Extract (Natural Bisabolol): 1% 6. Beta Glucan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract): 3% 7. Prebio-care (Skin Prebiotic): 2.8% 8. Micro Silver Porous™: 0.2% 9. Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Switzerland): 5% 10. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™: 2% 11. GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine): 3% 12. CosmoWhite™ (1-Methylhydantoin-2-Imide): 1.5% 13. Horse Placenta รกม้าสกัด: 1% 14. Ectoine (Ectoin): 1.5% 15. Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI): 3% 16.

Pro Polymer™ (Gel Maker): 0.5% 22. LipidSoft™ Lite: 3.5% 23. Phospholipid: 1.5% 24. 1,2-Hexanediol: 2.5% Based on this formula, will the serum still be excessively sticky?
