Recommended Serum Formula

This formula uses a pre-made base for easier mixing and includes ingredients targeting oil control, soothing, and potentially brightening and anti-aging benefits.

• Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye): 10%
• Active Resveratrol™: 10%
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Asiaticoside): 5%
• Methylsulfonylmethane (Pure MSM™): 3%
• Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): 5% (Recommended addition by the expert for oil control, synergy with MSM, and whitening)
• Phenoxyethanol: 1%
• Water: Remaining percentage (adjust to reach 100%)

Ingredient Benefits:

• Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye): Provides a light, soft, smooth texture that absorbs quickly, suitable for normal to oily skin.
• Active Resveratrol™: Known for antioxidant properties, potential anti-aging benefits by stimulating collagen, UV protection, anti-inflammatory effects, and helping reduce wrinkles.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Asiaticoside): Supports wound healing, has anti-aging properties by encouraging collagen, provides hydration, helps repair the skin barrier, and has anti-inflammatory effects, useful for soothing irritation and potentially reducing acne scars.
• Methylsulfonylmethane (Pure MSM™): Helps control oil production and can aid in collagen synthesis for skin flexibility. Note from product description: Not suitable for use with Vitamin C in the same formula as it may cause Vitamin C to oxidize faster.
• Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): Beneficial for reducing wrinkles, reducing redness/hyperpigmentation, adding moisture by stimulating collagen and ceramide production, strengthening the skin barrier, fighting irritations, and reducing oiliness. Can be used up to 10% without causing flushing.
• Phenoxyethanol: Acts as a preservative to protect the product.

Mixing Instructions:

1. Combine the water and all water-soluble ingredients (Active Resveratrol™, Centella Asiatica Extract, Pure MSM™, Safe-B3™, Phenoxyethanol).
2. Gradually add the water mixture to the Silky Serum Base, stirring continuously until a serum texture is achieved. Adding the water slowly in parts and stirring well before adding more is crucial for proper emulsification.

Addressing Your Specific Questions:

• Active Resveratrol™ vs Vitamin C for whitening: The expert did not provide a comment on the comparison between Active Resveratrol™ and Vitamin C for skin brightening, as they have not personally used Resveratrol.
• SiliSolve™ vs Warp Cream Maker™: The expert's recommended approach uses a pre-made base (Silky Serum Base) and water to form the serum texture, rather than comparing SiliSolve™ and Warp Cream Maker™ directly.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Asiaticoside) for soothing: Yes, you are correct. Centella Asiatica Extract is known for its soothing properties and is included in the recommended formula for this benefit, among others.
