Confirming Liquid Texture for Oily/Acne Serum Formula

Hello,

Based on the revised formula discussed, here are the steps to mix your serum for oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin:

Revised Serum Formula Ingredients:

• Water: 81.6%
• N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine: 4%
• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): 4%
• Licorice Extract: 1%
• Zinc PCA: 1%
• MSM: 3%
• Salicylic Acid EZ™: 5%
• Phenoxyethanol: 0.4%
• (Total: 100%)*

Mixing Instructions:

1. Measure the required amount of Water.
2. Add N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine to the water and stir until fully dissolved.
3. Add Vitamin B3 and stir until fully dissolved.
4. Add Zinc PCA and stir until fully dissolved.
5. Add MSM and stir until fully dissolved.
6. Add Salicylic Acid EZ™ and stir until fully dissolved. (Gentle heating up to 40-50°C might help dissolve some powders faster, but ensure it's not too hot for sensitive ingredients).
7. Add Licorice Extract and stir to combine.
8. Add Phenoxyethanol and stir to combine.
9. Mix the final serum thoroughly.

The resulting texture of this formula will be a liquid serum, which is typical for this type of formulation designed to address oiliness and acne concerns with water-soluble active ingredients.

This formula incorporates ingredients known to help with oil control (Zinc PCA, MSM), reduce inflammation and soothe skin (Licorice Extract, Vitamin B3, MSM), brighten (N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine, Vitamin B3), and exfoliate/clear pores (Salicylic Acid EZ™), making it suitable for your skin type.

Hope this helps!
