Eye Cream Formulation for Oily Skin with Fine Lines
Question
I have oily skin and fine lines under my eyes.
I would like to formulate an eye cream myself that helps reduce fine lines under the eyes.
Could you please provide guidance?
Answer
Eye Cream Formulation for Oily Skin with Fine Lines
For oily skin with fine lines under the eyes, focusing on ingredients that stimulate collagen and elastin production while being lightweight is key. Here are some ingredients that can help:
- AHC-Pep™ (Acetyl Tripeptide-1): This peptide helps stimulate collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
- Pep®-Mican (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9): Works by stimulating collagen type 1 and strengthening the skin's structure, contributing to wrinkle reduction.
- REGU®-AGE: While primarily targeting dark circles and puffiness, healthier and stronger skin around the eyes can also help minimize the appearance of fine lines.
- Pep®-Eye (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5): Focuses on reducing dark circles and under-eye bags, which can make the eye area look more refreshed and less prone to emphasizing fine lines.
When formulating your eye cream, consider using a lightweight base suitable for oily skin. You can incorporate these active ingredients in the final step of your formulation, ensuring the temperature is below 40°C.
Combining peptides like AHC-Pep™ and Pep®-Mican directly targets the fine lines by boosting collagen and elastin. Adding REGU®-AGE or Pep®-Eye can provide a more comprehensive treatment by addressing other common under-eye concerns.
Remember to follow the recommended usage rates for each ingredient (typically 1-5% for these peptides and actives) and perform patch testing.
