Question

I am looking for a serum that focuses on skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, increasing moisture, and brightening.

My skin type is combination with some freckles.

I would like the serum texture to be neither too thick nor too thin.

Can the following formula be mixed?

  • Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka. Pitera) 40%
  • Repair Activator 10%
  • Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) 5%
  • GlucoBright (Acetyl glucosamine) 4%
  • Activated Resorcinol 1%
  • Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) 3%
  • Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq. Matrixyl 3000) 5%
  • MOIST24 5%
  • Allantoin 0.5%
  • Odor-Kill 1%
  • Satin Cream Maker 1.5%
  • Distilled water 24%

Answer

This formulation appears well-designed to address your goals of skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, moisture increase, and brightening for combination skin with freckles.

The ingredients you've selected are suitable for these concerns:

  • Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), and Matrixyl 3000 target skin rejuvenation and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Niacinamide, Acetyl Glucosamine, and Activated Resorcinol work together for brightening the skin and reducing freckles/dark spots.
  • Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, MOIST24, and Allantoin provide hydration and soothing benefits.
  • Niacinamide can also help balance oil production, which is beneficial for combination skin.

Regarding the texture, the inclusion of Satin Cream Maker at 1.5% is intended to create a serum consistency. Combined with the high percentage of liquid ingredients (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and water), this should result in a texture that is neither too thick nor too thin, aligning with your preference for a serum.

The ingredients listed are generally compatible for mixing. However, it's always a good practice to check the specific usage instructions and compatibility notes for each raw material you purchase, especially for ingredients used at high concentrations like Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate at 40%.

Overall, this looks like a promising formulation for your skin type and goals.
