Evaluation of Your Proposed Formula

The formula you proposed includes excellent ingredients for nourishing the skin, reducing wrinkles, and soothing the skin, which aligns with your needs for sensitive skin with wrinkles and acne scars, and concerns about clogged pores. However, there are a few points to consider:

• Base (Pure Aloe Vera Gel): Using Aloe Vera Gel as a base is a good choice for sensitive and oily skin, as it has soothing and moisturizing properties without being heavy. There are two types: Heavy (ID 188) and Lite (ID 864). The Lite version provides a lighter feel and absorbs faster, which might be more suitable for your slightly oily skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid Nano 1%: Nano-sized Hyaluronic Acid (ID 35933, ID 35934) helps with moisture and wrinkle reduction. However, the 1% concentration is higher than the recommended rate (0.1-0.5%), and importantly, Aloe Vera Gel Lite (ID 864) is incompatible with Hyaluronic Acid Nano. Mixing them might lead to instability or separation. Furthermore, as suggested by user cosmeceutical7, Hyaluronic Acid might not be necessary for slightly oily skin, especially if you are already focusing on anti-aging and skin repair with other ingredients.
• Beta Glucan 10%: Beta Glucan (ID 221, ID 31742, ID 31743) is an excellent ingredient for sensitive skin, helping to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce irritation, and also has anti-aging properties. The recommended usage rate for Beta Glucan from yeast (ID 221) is 1-10% (recommended 3% for healthy skin, 5% for irritated/sensitive skin). Using 10% is at the upper limit of the recommended range, which might affect the gel's texture but is generally considered safe for sensitive skin.
• Pep-Coll 3%: Pep-Coll (Palmitoyl tripeptide-5) (ID 50) is a peptide that helps stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles. The 3% usage rate is recommended and effective.
• Matrixyl™ 3000 8%: Matrixyl™ 3000 (ID 51) is another peptide blend that stimulates collagen and reduces wrinkles. The recommended usage rate is 3-5%. Using 8% is higher than the maximum recommended rate. Using a higher concentration than recommended may not necessarily provide significantly better results and could potentially increase the risk of irritation or formulation stability issues. It is recommended to use within the 3-5% range.
• Complex: Snail Secretion 4%: Snail Secretion (ID 255, ID 7783) has properties that help regenerate skin, reduce irritation, moisturize, and can help with acne scars. The 4% usage rate is within the recommended range (1-8%, recommended 3-5%) and is suitable.

Suggested Formula Adjustments

Based on the information, your proposed formula contains good ingredients, but adjustments should be made for better efficacy and compatibility, especially for sensitive and acne-prone skin:

1. Consider Hyaluronic Acid Nano: Due to the incompatibility with Aloe Vera Gel Lite and your slightly oily skin, you might consider omitting Hyaluronic Acid Nano from the formula, or reduce the concentration to 0.1-0.5% and check compatibility with your chosen gel base. Beta Glucan and Snail Secretion also provide hydration.
2. Adjust Matrixyl™ 3000 Concentration: Reduce the concentration of Matrixyl™ 3000 to the recommended range of 3-5% for optimal efficacy without using an unnecessarily high amount.
3. Adjust Beta Glucan Concentration: If you prefer a lighter texture, you could try reducing Beta Glucan to 5%, which will still provide good soothing and skin-strengthening benefits.
4. Choose Aloe Vera Gel Base: If you prefer a light and fast-absorbing texture, choose Aloe Vera Gel Lite (ID 864), but be aware of the incompatibility with Hyaluronic Acid Nano. If you decide to keep Hyaluronic Acid Nano, you might need to consider a different compatible gel base or use Aloe Vera Gel Heavy (ID 188) instead, which is not listed as incompatible with Hyaluronic Acid Nano, but has a heavier texture.

Suggested Formula (Example):

• Pure Aloe Vera Gel (Choose Lite or Heavy)
• Beta Glucan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract) 5%
• Pep-Coll 3%
• Matrixyl™ 3000 5%
• Snail Secretion 4%

This formula still focuses on wrinkle reduction with Pep-Coll and Matrixyl™ 3000 at appropriate concentrations, supplemented with Beta Glucan and Snail Secretion to soothe, reduce irritation, and help with acne scars, while reducing the risks from excessively high concentrations and ingredient incompatibility.

If you want to focus more on acne scars, you could consider adding other ingredients like Niacinamide at an appropriate concentration, but always patch test first for sensitive skin.
