Question

I would like to create a light gel formula for normal to dry, sensitive skin. The formula should focus on pore tightening, wrinkle reduction, and plumping. My current base includes Aloe Vera Gel, Safe-B3, GlucoBright, and Double Hyaluron Liquid. I'm seeking advice on how to adjust or enhance this formula to achieve these specific benefits.

Answer

Light Gel Formula for Pore Tightening, Wrinkle Reduction, and Plumping

Based on your goal to create a light gel formula focusing on pore tightening, wrinkle reduction, and plumping for normal to dry, sensitive skin, and considering your current formula and the staff's suggestions, here is a revised approach.

Your current formula using Aloe Vera Gel, Safe-B3, GlucoBright, and Double Hyaluron Liquid is a good base. The staff's recommendation to increase Safe-B3 to 5% and Double Hyaluron Liquid to 3% is excellent. Increasing Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) helps with multiple concerns including pore appearance, fine lines, and strengthening the skin barrier, which is beneficial for sensitive skin. Increasing Double Hyaluron Liquid will provide more hydration, plumping the skin and potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness.

To further target pore tightening, wrinkle reduction, and lifting, you can incorporate additional active ingredients. Here are some suggestions based on their properties:

  • For Pore Tightening:

    • PoreNin™ (Natural Extracted Tannic Acid): This ingredient is effective for tightening pores and also offers antioxidant benefits.
  • For Wrinkle Reduction and Lifting:

    • Pep®-PP4 (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4): A peptide known to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin elasticity over time.
    • Lift-Now™: Provides an immediate skin tightening effect, which can help with the appearance of lifting and reducing wrinkles temporarily. It is also noted to work well under makeup.

Here is a sample revised formula incorporating these suggestions. Remember that the total percentage must add up to 100%.

Sample Revised Gel Formula:

  • Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy): 77%
  • Safe-B3™: 5% (Increased as per staff suggestion)
  • GlucoBright™: 4%
  • Double Hyaluron Liquid: 3% (Increased as per staff suggestion)
  • PoreNin™: 2%
  • Pep®-PP4: 5%
  • Lift-Now™: 4%

Total: 100%

Notes:

  • This formula increases the concentration of Safe-B3 and Double Hyaluron Liquid as recommended by the staff for enhanced hydration and overall skin benefits.
  • PoreNin™ is added to specifically target pore tightening.
  • Pep®-PP4 is included for its long-term effects on wrinkles and elasticity.
  • Lift-Now™ provides an instant lifting and tightening effect.
  • All suggested additional ingredients are water-soluble and suitable for a gel base.
  • Since you have sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test with the final formula before applying it to your entire face.
  • You can adjust the percentages of the added active ingredients within their recommended usage rates based on your desired efficacy and how your skin responds.

This revised formula builds upon your original idea and the staff's advice to create a comprehensive gel targeting your specific concerns.
