Expert Review of Cream Formula for Dry Skin, Wrinkles, and Dullness

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your formula and questions regarding a cream for dry skin, wrinkles, and dullness.

Based on your formula and the staff's response, here is the information:

1. Mixing Procedure: The staff has provided a correction to the mixing steps. The correct procedure is:

   • Combine all water phase ingredients (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11) in Part A and mix until dissolved.
   • Combine oil phase ingredients (9, 10) in Part B and heat to about 50°C to melt the shea butter. Let it cool. Dissolve Activated Resorcinol (13) in the oil phase.
   • Add Satin Mousse (12) to the water phase (Part A) and mix until a gel forms.
   • Slowly add the oil phase (Part B) to the gelled water phase (Part A) while mixing until combined.
   • Add Phenoxyethanol (14) and mix.

2. Effectiveness for Wrinkles and Dullness: This formula contains several excellent ingredients for addressing wrinkles and dullness, such as peptides (Argireline, Matrixyl 3000), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), N-Acetyl Glucosamine, and Activated Resorcinol. These ingredients work together to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and brighten the complexion. The staff recommended increasing the Vitamin B3 concentration from 2% to 5% for potentially better results on wrinkles. Please note that seeing significant improvement in wrinkles typically takes at least 6 weeks of consistent use. The formula also includes good moisturizing agents suitable for dry skin.

3. pH Adjustment: According to the staff, pH adjustment is not necessary for this formula.

4. Ingredient Compatibility: The staff confirmed that the ingredients in your formula are compatible.

In summary, the formula contains effective ingredients for your skin concerns. The mixing procedure needs to follow the corrected steps provided by the staff, and increasing Vitamin B3 may enhance the anti-wrinkle benefits.

Thank you.
