Mixing Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera) for Facial Skincare
Question
I am using Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera) and find that using it pure feels sticky. If possible, could you please recommend which ingredients I should mix with it specifically for facial use?
Answer
Using Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera)
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, also known as Pitera, can be used at a concentration of 1-100% as indicated in the product information. Therefore, applying it directly at 100% is possible.
However, the product information also states that using it in high doses might feel greasy or sticky, which could be the reason you feel stickiness when using it pure.
Regarding mixing it for facial use, it depends on your skin type and needs. If you want to improve the texture for a more comfortable feel or enhance its benefits for other skin concerns, you can mix it with other ingredients such as:
- Humectants: Like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, to increase hydration and potentially reduce stickiness.
- Antioxidants: Like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, to help protect the skin.
- Other skin-benefiting ingredients: That address your specific skin issues, such as Niacinamide for redness or pores, or Peptides for reducing wrinkles.
Mixing allows you to create a formula best suited for your skin.
