Question

I am looking for ingredients to formulate a product for oily skin and pore tightening. What ingredients are recommended to help reduce oiliness and improve the appearance of enlarged pores over time? I am considering options like Vitamin B6. What other effective ingredients, such as AminoMatte™ (Sarcosine), PoreNin™ (Natural Extracted Tannic Acid), FlashTenser™, or Marine Plankton, would you suggest?

Answer

Ingredients for Oily Skin and Pore Tightening

For oily skin, managing excess oil is a key factor in improving the appearance of enlarged pores. As discussed previously, balancing skin oil can help pores return to their natural size.

While you mentioned Vitamin B6, it is indeed beneficial for oily skin. It helps balance oiliness by reducing excess oil production, which in turn can help tighten pores that appear larger due to this excess oil. Its effect on pore tightening is primarily through this oil control mechanism.

In addition to Vitamin B6, here are other ingredients that can help address oily skin and pore appearance:

  • AminoMatte™ (Sarcosine): This ingredient is effective in reducing skin oil by inhibiting an enzyme involved in oil production. It is specifically used in products aimed at reducing skin oiliness.
  • PoreNin™ (Natural Extracted Tannic Acid): Extracted from green tea, PoreNin™ is specifically designed for tightening pores. It also offers antioxidant benefits.

Some ingredients provide a temporary tightening or lifting effect, which can visually reduce the appearance of pores:

  • FlashTenser™: Provides an instant skin tightening effect that lasts for several hours or until washed off. It can help reduce the appearance of small wrinkles and pores temporarily.
  • Marine Plankton: Contains polymers that offer an immediate tightening effect. For longer-lasting results on lifting and reducing wrinkles, continuous use is needed, but it can provide a temporary visual improvement for pores as well.

Combining ingredients that help control oil production with those that offer tightening effects can be a comprehensive approach for managing oily skin and minimizing the look of enlarged pores.
