Question
I would like to inquire about:
1. The water shown in the image (which I cannot provide here). Is it deionized water, and is it related to formulations where EDTA cannot be used?
2. Effective ingredients for treating acne scars. Which ingredients are considered better than others, or is it preferable to use a combination? Specifically, what are the considerations when using Copper Peptide for acne scars, including potential irritation and compatibility with other ingredients like Vitamin C?
Answer
Regarding the water in the image, I cannot see the image, so I cannot confirm if it is deionized water. However, I understand you are asking because some formulations cannot use EDTA.
Regarding the discussion about ingredients for acne scars:
- As mentioned in the replies, there isn't one single ingredient that is definitively "better" than others for acne scars.
- The effectiveness of ingredients can vary greatly from person to person.
- It is generally recommended to use a combination of different ingredients in small amounts rather than focusing on a single ingredient.
- Copper peptide was discussed; it can be helpful for scars but might cause irritation at higher concentrations and should not be used together with Vitamin C.
