Question

I need a cream formulation suitable for very oily skin with large pores, acne, and redness. I would like to incorporate SKIN-DEFENSE® V and use Light Cream Maker™ as the emulsifier. Please provide a detailed formula and mixing instructions.

Answer

Based on your skin type (very oily, large pores, acne, redness) and the discussion with the staff, here is a recommended cream formulation (50ml) incorporating the suggested changes and adding a preservative:

Recommended Formula:

  • Safe-B3: 5%
  • Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A): 1%
  • AcneBee™ Extra: 2%
  • Ichthammol (High Purity): 1%
  • Snail Secretion: 5%
  • SKIN-DEFENSE® V: 1%
  • Repair Activator™: 10%
  • Willow Bark Extract: 3%
  • Light Cream Maker™: 1%
  • Mild Preserved Eco: 1%
  • Distilled Water: 70% (q.s. to 100%)

Notes:

  • This formula is more suitable for night use due to the color and strong smell of Ichthammol. If you want to use it during the day, you should remove Ichthammol.
  • Willow Bark Extract can help with clogged pores, but if you have severe or persistent clogged pores, this formula might not be sufficient. You may need ingredients specifically for dissolving clogged pores.
  • A preservative (Mild Preserved Eco 1%) has been added as recommended by the staff to prevent spoilage.

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Mix water-soluble ingredients (all except SKIN-DEFENSE® V and Light Cream Maker™ initially) with distilled water until dissolved.
  2. Add Light Cream Maker™ and mix or blend until a gel-cream texture is formed.
  3. Add the oil-based ingredients, including SKIN-DEFENSE® V, to the gel-cream base. Mix or blend until fully combined to get the final cream texture.
