Gel formulations for wrinkle reduction and skin brightening for different skin types

Subject: Gel for reducing wrinkles and brightening skin

Regarding your question about the gel formulation for reducing wrinkles and brightening skin for your husband and mother, the staff has reviewed your request.

Since your husband has slightly oily skin and your mother has dry skin, the staff recommended creating two separate formulas tailored to each skin type, as one formula might not be ideal for both.

Here are the recommended formulas from the staff:

For your mother (dry skin):

• Vitamin B5 (ID 111): 3%
• DMAE (ID 637): 5%
• Pep®-Coll (ID 50): 3%
• Argireline (ID 45): 10%
• Alpha Arbutin (ID 68): 2%
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) (ID 74): 5%
• PE1-Aqua (Penetration Enhancer) (ID 856): 3%
• MOIST24 (Humectant) (ID 1053): 5%
• Phenoxyethanol SA (Preservative) (ID 928): 1%
• Pro Polymer™ (Thickener) (ID 234): 1.5%
• Distilled Water (ID 838): Remaining (approx. 61%)

• Mixing Instructions for Mother's Formula:*
  Mix ingredients #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #9, and #11 together until clear. Then add ingredient #10 and mix or stir until a gel texture is formed. Gradually add ingredient #2 into the gel, stirring after each small addition until fully incorporated. (The texture may become slightly thinner).

For your husband (slightly oily skin):

• Licorice Extract (Oil Balancing) (ID 69): 1%
• DMAE (ID 637): 5%
• Pep®-Coll (ID 50): 3%
• Argireline (ID 45): 10%
• Alpha Arbutin (ID 68): 2%
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) (ID 74): 5%
• PE1-Aqua (Penetration Enhancer) (ID 856): 3%
• Phenoxyethanol SA (Preservative) (ID 928): 1%
• Pro Polymer™ (Thickener) (ID 234): 1.5%
• Distilled Water (ID 838): Remaining (approx. 68%)

• Mixing Instructions for Husband's Formula:*
  Mix ingredients #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, and #10 together until clear. Then add ingredient #9 and mix or stir until a gel texture is formed. Gradually add ingredient #2 into the gel, stirring after each small addition until fully incorporated. (The texture may become slightly thinner).

Compared to your original formula, the staff's recommendations adjust the percentage of Vitamin B5 for dry skin, add ingredients like Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) and PE1-Aqua (Penetration Enhancer) to both formulas, include MOIST24 (Humectant) for dry skin, and add Licorice Extract (Oil Balancing) for oily skin. They also recommend using Phenoxyethanol SA as the preservative.
