Formulation for Reducing Stretch Marks and Smoothing Skin

To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and achieve smoother skin, a formulation should focus on improving skin elasticity, promoting collagen and elastin production, enhancing hydration, and gentle exfoliation.

Here are some types of ingredients that can be beneficial:

• Ingredients that support collagen and elastin: Look for ingredients like Hydrolyzed Elastin (From Fish), HRC-4000™ (Human Type III Recombinant Collagen), and Pep-Marine Placenta™ (Salmon Ovary Peptide). These can help improve skin's structure and elasticity, which is key to reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
• Exfoliating ingredients: Gentle exfoliants help remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal, leading to a smoother texture. Examples include FruitPeel™ and Pumpkin Renew™. These are milder alternatives to traditional AHAs.
• Hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients: Maintaining skin hydration and a healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health and can improve the appearance of stretch marks. Ingredients like Bifida Ferment Lysate (found in Repair Activator™ and Bifida Repair Complex™) can help repair skin DNA and strengthen the skin barrier.

A comprehensive formula could combine ingredients from these categories to address multiple aspects of stretch mark reduction and skin smoothing.
