ANR-like Serum Formulation for Combination Skin

Hello,

Thank you for your question and for providing details about your skin type and goals. Based on your request to create a strengthening and revitalizing serum similar to ANR for your combination skin, the staff has provided a revised formula suggestion.

Here is the recommended formula:

Recommended Serum Formula (Gel Texture)

• Anti-Aging:
  • Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate): 10-15%
  • Soy Extract (Isoflavones Genistein): 2-3% (Reduced from your initial 10% to avoid stickiness)
• Skin Strengthening & Hydration:
  • Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3/Niacinamide): 5% (Added for barrier support and oil balance)
  • Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): 1% (Added for hydration and soothing)
  • Ceramide Complex: 5% (Reduced from your initial 10% as 5% is sufficient for skin barrier support)
• Oil Balance:
  • Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A): 1% (Added to help balance oil production for combination skin)
• Preservative:
  • Mild Preserved Eco (Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol): 0.5%
• Texture:
  • Recommended to use Pro Polymer (Acrylate Crosspolymer) to create a gel texture without needing oil, which is suitable for skin prone to clogging. Xanthan Gum could also work but Pro Polymer might offer a lighter feel.

This formula incorporates your desired key ingredients while adjusting percentages and adding complementary ingredients (B3, B5, Licorice Extract) to better suit your skin type and goal of strengthening the skin barrier and recovering from pollution, in a texture less likely to cause clogged pores.

We hope this revised formula helps you create your desired serum!
