Formula Review for Dehydrated Skin, Wrinkles, and Melasma

Hello! Thank you for sharing your formula. I've reviewed the ingredients you've listed for addressing dehydration, wrinkles, and melasma.

Your formula includes several excellent ingredients that target these concerns:

• For Melasma: Niacinamide, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, MSH White (Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine), and Tranexamic Acid are all well-known for their skin brightening and anti-pigmentation properties. This combination provides a strong approach to tackling melasma.
• For Wrinkles: Matrixyl 3000 is a key peptide blend included specifically to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Niacinamide and Myristyl Nicotinate can also contribute to improving skin texture and tone.
• For Dehydration: Niacinamide, N-Acetyl Glucosamine, Yeast Extract, Jojoba Oil, and Japanese Cedar extract can all help improve skin hydration and strengthen the skin barrier.

Overall, the selection of active ingredients is very good and well-suited for your skin concerns.

However, I noticed that the total percentage of your ingredients adds up to 105% (5+4+5+6+3+2+3+5+1+2+3+1+65 = 105%). The total percentage for any formulation must always equal 100%.

You will need to adjust the percentages of your ingredients to bring the total down to 100%. You could reduce the percentage of the water phase, or slightly reduce the percentages of some of the active ingredients. For example, the percentage of Myristyl Nicotinate (6%) is on the higher side and could potentially be reduced.

Please revise the percentages so they total exactly 100% and share the updated formula, and I can review it again for you.
