Question

I would like to order a ready-to-use cream with an Aloe Vera Jel base and the following ingredients:

  • Glucosamine
  • Vit B3
  • Vit B5
  • Centella Asiatica
  • Sea Kelp
  • Allantoin
  • Phenoxyethanol

Is this formula suitable for my combination skin type, which is very dry and flaky on the cheekbones but oily on the T-zone with clogged pores and redness? Also, what is the correct order to use this cream if I am already using Differin + BHA?

Answer

Okay, I have received the information and the formula you wish to order for the ready-to-use cream.

The formula you provided, using Aloe Vera Jel as a base with Glucosamine, Vit B3, Vit B5, Centella Asiatica, Sea Kelp, Allantoin, and Phenoxyethanol, seems like an interesting formula and suitable for your combination skin type.

The ingredients in this formula have several good properties for the skin, such as:

  • Vit B3 (Niacinamide): Helps control oil, reduce clogged pores, strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and can help fade redness.
  • Vit B5 (Panthenol): Provides moisture to the skin, helps soothe, and supports skin barrier repair.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract: Helps soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and promotes collagen synthesis.
  • Glucosamine, Sea Kelp, Allantoin: Help enhance hydration, soothing, and overall skin nourishment.

This formula will help provide moisture, soothe the skin, and address concerns like pores and oiliness in the T-zone effectively.

However, as the previous staff member mentioned, something to observe is the level of moisture for the cheekbone area which is very dry and flaky. Although many ingredients in the formula help with hydration, the Aloe Vera Jel base might not provide the same occlusive or moisture-locking feel as a traditional cream base. If you use it and find that the dry areas still feel dry, you might consider adding a more moisturizing product or incorporating ingredients that help boost hydration and reduce water loss later on.

Regarding the order of use, you can apply this cream after using Differin + BHA.

Please try this formula first and observe the results on your skin. If you have any questions or wish to make further adjustments, feel free to let us know.
