Cream Formulation for Acne, Inflammation, and Skin Barrier Repair (Dry Skin)

Subject: Cream Formulation for Acne, Inflammation, and Skin Strengthening (Dry Skin)

Thank you for your inquiry regarding a cream formulation for acne, inflammation from chemical damage (mercury, steroids), and strengthening the skin barrier, specifically for dry and red skin.

You proposed a formula including Ceramide Complex, Licorice Extract, Vitamin B12, Safe-B3, Zinc PCA, beta glucan, SKIN-DEFENSE, Atopic-Telmesteine, nano silver, and Light Cream Maker.

Based on your skin condition being dry and red, the staff has provided valuable feedback and suggested adjustments to enhance the formula's effectiveness for your specific needs. The recommended adjustments are:

• Remove Zinc PCA: This ingredient is generally more suitable for oily, acne-prone skin. While it has some benefits for skin strength, other ingredients are more appropriate for dry skin.
• Add MOIST24 (5%) and Shea Butter (10%): These ingredients are added to significantly boost hydration and moisturization, addressing the dryness of your skin.
• Reduce Ceramide Complex to 5%: While Ceramide Complex is excellent for barrier repair, reducing its percentage allows for the inclusion of other beneficial ingredients that are crucial for dry, inflamed skin, providing a more balanced approach.
• Add Phyto Glycyrrhetinic Acid (2%): This ingredient is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which will help calm the redness and inflammation caused by chemical damage.

The adjusted formula, tailored for dry, red, acne-prone, and chemically damaged skin, is as follows:

• Ceramide Complex (CeraTouch™): 5%
• Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A): 2%
• Vitamin B12: 5%
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide): 2%
• beta glucan: 5%
• SKIN-DEFENSE (beta-sitosterol): 2%
• Atopic-Telmesteine: 2%
• nano silver Pure: 1%
• Light Cream Maker: 1%
• MOIST24: 5%
• shea butter: 10%
• Phyto Glycyrrhetinic Acid: 2%
• Water: 58%

This revised formula combines ingredients to address acne and inflammation (Licorice Extract, Nano Silver, Phyto Glycyrrhetinic Acid), strengthen the skin barrier and repair damage (Ceramide Complex, Safe-B3, beta glucan, SKIN-DEFENSE, Atopic-Telmesteine), and provide essential hydration and nourishment for dry skin (Vitamin B12, MOIST24, Shea Butter).
