Additional Recommendations:

• This formula contains ingredients that address melasma, dark spots, and clogged pores in a single product.
• The ingredient percentages are suitable for addressing these concerns in combination skin.
• If the cream texture becomes too thin after adding Willow Bark Extract, consider increasing Satin Cream Maker™ or adding a gel-forming agent like Pro Polymer at 0.5-1.0%.
• Always perform a patch test before use and consistently use effective sunscreen during the day to prevent melasma recurrence.

We hope this formula is helpful. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
