Adjusting Serum Formula for Whitening & Anti-Aging: Texture & Stability

Based on the staff's recommendations, here is a suggested revision to your serum formula to enhance anti-wrinkle and whitening effects while addressing the texture.

The staff advised against adding all the new ingredients you listed, as it could make the formula too heavy and potentially unstable. Instead, they proposed optimizing your existing formula by adjusting the concentrations of certain ingredients and replacing/removing others.

Here is the staff's suggested revised formula:

• Water: Adjust to 100% total
• GlucoBright™ (N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine): 2%
• Safe-B3™ (Niacinamide): 5% (Increased from 2.5% for enhanced whitening)
• Tranexamic Acid: 3% (Increased from 1.5% for enhanced whitening)
• Double Hyaluron Liquid: 1%
• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): 1%
• Azelaic Acid (Liquid Azelaic™): Removed (To improve formula stability and reduce potential irritation with increased actives)
• DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid: 5-7% (Increased from 2% for enhanced wrinkle reduction and lifting)
• Wrinkle-Fill™ (L-Tyrosine): 2g
• Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera): 8.5%
• Shea Butter (Ultra Soft): 5%
• Cocoa Butter: Removed (To reduce stickiness)
• Satin Cream Maker: 2.0% (Replaces Light Cream Maker™ at 1% for better electrolyte tolerance with higher DMAE)
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Madecassoside 7.7%): 1%
• Mild Preserved Eco™ (Ethylhexylglycerin): 0.5%
• Ethoxydiglycol: 1.5%
• Fragrance: 0.001%
• Sym-White™ (Phenylethyl Resorcinol): 0.5% (Optional addition from your list for extra whitening)

Summary of Changes and Reasoning:

• Increased Actives: Niacinamide (Safe-B3™), Tranexamic Acid, and DMAE (SkinTight MD™) were increased to boost whitening, dark spot reduction, and anti-wrinkle/lifting effects.
• Removed/Replaced for Texture & Stability: Cocoa Butter was removed to reduce stickiness. Azelaic Acid was removed to prevent potential separation and reduce irritation risk when combined with higher concentrations of other actives. Light Cream Maker™ was replaced with Satin Cream Maker because the latter is more tolerant of electrolytes, which are present in higher amounts with increased DMAE.
• Optional Addition: Sym-White™ was suggested as an optional addition if you require even stronger whitening results.

Regarding the speed of results, the staff mentioned that whitening effects from the adjusted formula might be visible within 2 weeks. However, wrinkle reduction typically takes longer, usually starting to show results after about 1 month or more.

This revised formula aims to provide the enhanced whitening and anti-wrinkle benefits you seek while managing the texture and stability of the serum, using primarily ingredients you already have or adjusting their proportions.
