Question
I have a skincare formulation with ingredients including Niacinamide and Licorice Extract. The total weight of the formulation is 100 grams.
I would like to ask the following questions about this formula:
1. Is the calculation for a total of 100 grams correct?
2. Is this formulation suitable for sensitive skin?
3. How effective is this formulation for pore tightening and controlling skin oiliness?
Answer
Based on the reply provided:
- Regarding the calculation in grams: If the total weight of the formulation is 100 grams, then the calculation is correct. (Your listed ingredients sum up to 100g).
- Regarding suitability for sensitive skin: The concept of "sensitive skin" is complex; it's more about what specific substances the skin reacts to. However, if you are referring to skin that is thin and easily irritated, the reply states that this formula does not contain irritating ingredients.
- Regarding pore tightening: The Niacinamide and Licorice Extract in the formula can help with pore appearance. However, addressing pores and skin oiliness effectively often requires combining multiple products for faster results. If this is a primary concern, you might consider exploring other relevant products. If not, this formula is considered acceptable.
