Answer

Based on your request and the previous discussion with the staff, the proposed gel serum formula for very oily skin, large pores, and dullness, incorporating your desired whitening agents, is viable. Please find the confirmed formula and mixing instructions below.

Confirmed Formula:

  • Safe-B3 (Niacinamide): 5%
  • Licorice Extract: 1%
  • Rice Vitamin (Inositol): 2%
  • Vitamin B6: 2%
  • L-Carnitine: 3%
  • Zinc PCA: 1%
  • AcneBee: 2%
  • Reservoir-Tech: 3%
  • AnyGel (Dehydroxanthan Gum): 1.0-1.5% (for gel texture)
  • Mild Preserved Eco: 1% (preservative)
  • GlucoBright (N-Acetyl Glucosamine): 4%
  • Activated Resorcinol S: 3%
  • Water: Remaining percentage (approx. 71.5% - 72%)

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Combine the Water with all the water-soluble ingredients: Safe-B3, Licorice Extract, Rice Vitamin, Vitamin B6, L-Carnitine, Zinc PCA, AcneBee, Reservoir-Tech, and GlucoBright. Stir until all powders are dissolved and liquids are uniformly dispersed.
  2. Add AnyGel to the mixture from step 1. Stir or blend well until a gel is formed and the texture is uniform.
  3. Add the oil-soluble ingredient, Activated Resorcinol S, to the gel base. Stir or blend thoroughly until the ingredient is fully dispersed and the mixture is uniform (the texture may become milky or cloudy).
  4. Add Mild Preserved Eco and stir or blend until fully incorporated.

As previously discussed with the staff, severe oiliness at your age might be related to hormones and could potentially benefit from medical consultation. However, this topical formula is designed to help manage oiliness, improve pore appearance, and brighten the skin.
