Recommendations for Your Skin Concerns

Hello! I understand your skin concerns based on the information you provided and the initial advice from the staff. Based on your issues, you can focus on ingredients that help with the following:

• 1. Oily T-zone:
  For oiliness in the T-zone, I recommend ingredients that help control oil and balance the skin, such as:

  • Group of Oil-Fix™ (e.g., Oil-Fix™ O, Oil-Fix™ W), which is Silica that helps absorb oil and provides a matte, non-sticky texture.
  • Ingredients that help tighten pores, which can indirectly reduce oil production.

• 2. Dull skin, sensitive to light, and tans easily:
  For dullness and light sensitivity, you should use ingredients that help even out skin tone and brighten the complexion, along with strict sun protection. Recommended ingredients include:

  • Phenylethyl Resorcinol (equivalent to SymWhite 377) is a highly effective and safe whitening agent that inhibits melanin production, helping to fade dark spots and dullness.
  • Yeast Radiance™ is a protein extract from yeast that helps the skin look brighter and more radiant naturally, without making the skin appear pale.
  • MelaninTerminate™ is a protein extract from deep-sea pearls that helps inhibit melanin synthesis, leading to brighter-looking skin with continuous use.

  It is crucial to use sunscreen with high SPF and PA+++ regularly every day to prevent accumulated sun damage and the formation of new dark spots.

• 3. Freckles and acne scars:
  Freckles and acne scars (red/dark marks) can be treated with the same whitening ingredients mentioned in point 2. Ingredients like Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Yeast Radiance™, and MelaninTerminate™ will help these marks fade. However, for deep freckles, you might need to consider other treatments as advised by the staff.

• 4. Blackheads and whiteheads:
  For clogged pores like blackheads and whiteheads, you should use ingredients that help exfoliate and reduce pore blockage, such as:

  • Pep®-Acne (Oligopeptide-10) is a peptide with antibacterial properties that helps inhibit P. acnes bacteria, one of the causes of acne.
  • Actin AC is a 5-in-1 anti-acne ingredient that helps control oil, reduce inflammation, fade post-acne marks, reduce pore blockage, and decrease bacterial population.
  • Acne-TT™ (Standardized Tea Tree Extract) is a Tea Tree extract with high concentration of Terpinen-4-ol, which helps reduce inflammation and inhibit bacteria.

• 5. Large pores:
  Large pores are often related to oiliness and clogging. Using oil control and pore-clearing ingredients mentioned in points 1 and 4 will help pores appear smaller naturally as oiliness and blockage are reduced.

• 6. Excessive sweating:
  Excessive sweating is a physiological issue that cannot be directly resolved with typical skincare products.

• 7. Makeup wears off easily:
  To help makeup last longer, especially on the forehead and nose where you sweat and have oiliness, I recommend using products containing silicones. Silicones help create a film on the skin, allowing makeup to adhere better, such as:

  • Silicone Gel (Medium Matte, Dimethicone Base) is a silicone gel that helps products spread easily, provides a soft and smooth feel without stickiness, and gives the skin a matte look.
  • Dimethicone (Very Light/2, Volatile) is a light, volatile silicone that provides a slippery feel and can be used in formulations to adjust texture and help with makeup longevity.

Combining these ingredients in appropriate formulations will help address your skin concerns comprehensively. Remember to study the mixing instructions and precautions for each ingredient before use.
