Face Cream Formulation: Benefits, Skin Type, Usage & Mixing Procedure

Question

I have a face cream formulation and would like more details regarding:

The primary benefits of this formulation (e.g., whitening, moisturizing, anti-aging).
The most suitable skin types for this cream (e.g., normal, oily, dry, combination).
Whether it can be used both day and night.
Clarification on the concentration of Activated Resorcinol (it appears twice in my list).
How to adjust the formulation if I want to remove Rose Hip Oil to reduce oiliness, specifically how to compensate with Light Cream Maker and how to dissolve the Activated Resorcinol in this modified formula.
Detailed step-by-step instructions for mixing the cream formulation, including the order of adding ingredients and any specific procedures (like heating or mixing methods).

The formulation includes ingredients such as:

Distilled Water
Disodium EDTA
Alpha Arbutin
Oxyresveratrol extract
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine
Light Cream Maker
Rose Hip Oil
Activated Resorcinol
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera)
Repair Activator
Phenonip

Regarding the face cream formulation you provided and your questions about adjustments, usage, skin type, and mixing procedure:

The staff previously advised that this formula is primarily focused on whitening, followed by moisturizing and anti-aging benefits. It is best suited for normal to dry skin types and may feel too rich or sticky for oily or combination skin, especially during the day, although it can be used both day and night.

The staff also noted that Activated Resorcinol was listed twice; the recommended concentration is 1% to avoid potential irritation. If you wish to remove Rose Hip Oil to reduce oiliness, the staff suggested increasing Light Cream Maker to 2% and dissolving the Activated Resorcinol in it first.

Here are the general steps for mixing this cream formulation:

Water Phase: In a clean container, combine Distilled Water and Disodium EDTA. Add Alpha Arbutin, Oxyresveratrol extract, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), and N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine. Stir well until all powders are dissolved. Gentle warming (e.g., up to 40-50°C) can help dissolve some ingredients faster, but avoid high heat.
Oil Phase: In a separate container, combine Light Cream Maker and Rose Hip Oil (if you are including it at 5%). Add Activated Resorcinol (1%) and stir until it is fully dissolved in the oil/emulsifier mixture. If you choose to remove Rose Hip Oil, use 2% Light Cream Maker and dissolve the 1% Activated Resorcinol directly into the Light Cream Maker. Gentle warming might be needed to help dissolution.
Emulsification: Slowly pour the Oil Phase into the Water Phase while stirring continuously and vigorously. Use a whisk, hand mixer, or homogenizer to create a stable emulsion. Continue mixing until the cream is uniform and smooth.
Cooling Phase: Continue stirring as the cream cools down. When the temperature drops below 40°C, add Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera), Repair Activator, and Phenonip. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of these ingredients.
Final Check: Once the cream is fully cooled, check the consistency. You may check the pH if you have a pH meter, but it's often not strictly necessary for this type of formulation unless specific pH requirements are mentioned for the ingredients.
