Formulating a Cream for Acne Treatment and Bouncy, Clear Skin

Recommendations for an Acne Treatment and Bouncy, Clear Skin Cream

Regarding your issues with recurring clogged and inflamed acne, and your desire to formulate a cream for clear and bouncy skin without focusing on whitening, you can select specific ingredients that target these concerns and nourish the skin effectively.

The ingredients in your current serum, such as Niacinamide, Betaine, Raffinose, Green tea extract, Cucumber extract, Gotu Kola Extract, Urea, and Allantoin, are generally beneficial for the skin. They offer soothing and moisturizing properties, and Niacinamide is also known for oil control and anti-inflammatory effects. However, as the staff mentioned, skin problems can stem from various causes, or there might be other ingredients not fully listed.

For formulating your own cream to address these goals, here are some key ingredient recommendations:

Recommended Ingredients for Acne Treatment and Bouncy Skin

• Ingredients for Treating Clogged and Inflamed Acne:

  • Salicylic Acid (BHA): This ingredient helps exfoliate dead skin cells and dissolve oil within pores, effectively reducing clogging and preventing new acne breakouts. It is particularly good for clogged pores.
  • Zinc PCA: Helps reduce facial oiliness, a contributing factor to acne, and also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce acne redness and speed up healing.
  • BioSulphur™ EQ or Acne-TT™ (Standardized Tea Tree Extract For Acne): Both ingredients help inhibit the P.acnes bacteria, a cause of inflamed acne, and reduce skin inflammation. BioSulphur™ EQ is good for oil control, while Acne-TT™ is a highly concentrated Tea Tree extract with potent active compounds.

• Ingredients for Bouncy, Clear Skin, Improving Elasticity and Hydration:

  • 4D Hyaluronic Acid: This is a multi-molecular weight Hyaluron that helps replenish and retain moisture deep within all layers of the skin. This makes the skin plump, bouncy, and smoother.
  • Skin-Barrier™ (Skin Mimic Ceramides Liposome): Helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier, reducing water loss, keeping the skin moisturized, and reducing irritation. A strong skin barrier is crucial for acne-prone skin.
  • Pep®-Coll (Palmitoyl tripeptide-5): This peptide stimulates collagen production in the skin, improving elasticity and firmness, and helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, resulting in smoother, bouncier skin.
  • Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C Ethyl Ether): A highly stable form of Vitamin C that helps improve overall skin clarity (not necessarily whitening) and acts as an antioxidant to protect the skin. It may also offer mild anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): A high-purity Vitamin B3 that helps control oil, reduce acne inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and fade red/dark marks left by acne, leading to smoother and clearer skin overall.

Choosing these ingredients in appropriate concentrations and selecting a suitable cream base will help you create a customized cream that addresses your acne concerns and helps achieve clear, bouncy skin. It is important to research the recommended usage rates and mixing instructions for each ingredient before incorporating them into your formulation.
