Question
Please review the following formula:
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka. Pitera) 84%
- Plankton GP4G™ 5%
- Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) 3%
- GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine) 4%
- Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) 4%
I would like the texture to be non-sticky, suitable for use both morning and evening, and usable for soaking face masks. My skin is combination with dark spots.
Answer
Here is a review of the formula you provided:
Ingredients and Percentages:
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera): 84%
- Plankton GP4G™: 5%
- Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride): 3%
- GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine): 4%
- Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): 4%
The percentages add up to 100%, which is correct.
Analysis:
Based on the ingredients and their percentages, this formulation appears to be a lightweight serum or liquid, which aligns with your preference for a non-sticky texture.
The combination of Niacinamide (Safe-B3™) and Acetyl Glucosamine (GlucoBright™) at 4% each is excellent for targeting dark spots and improving overall skin tone. These two ingredients work synergistically to enhance brightening effects.
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate at a high concentration (84%) serves as a great base, offering skin conditioning and potentially improving texture and radiance.
Plankton GP4G™ adds benefits for skin vitality and protection, while Vitamin B6 can help with sebum regulation, which is beneficial for combination skin.
Suitability for your needs:
- Non-sticky texture: Likely yes, given the high percentage of liquid ingredients.
- Morning and Evening use: Yes, the ingredients are generally suitable for both times. Remember to use sunscreen in the morning.
- Face mask soaking: Yes, the liquid nature of the formula makes it ideal for this purpose.
- Skin type (Combination) and concerns (Dark spots): The ingredients, particularly Niacinamide, Acetyl Glucosamine, and Vitamin B6, are well-suited to address these.
Overall, this looks like a promising formulation for combination skin with dark spots, aiming for a lightweight feel.
