Answer to your formulation question

Thank you for your question. Based on the ingredients you purchased, here is the information regarding their use for your skin type:

Mixing Plankton Artemia Extract and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate

Yes, you can mix Plankton Artemia Extract and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate together and use the mixture directly on your face as a toner (น้ำตบ). Both ingredients are water-soluble and compatible for mixing.

Benefits of Each Ingredient

• Plankton Artemia Extract: This extract is known for its ability to help protect the skin from environmental stressors. It supports skin cell metabolism, helps increase keratin levels, and can help maintain skin's natural defenses. It also shows potential in supporting collagen production and reducing UV-induced DNA damage, contributing to overall skin health and resilience.
• Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera): This ingredient is widely recognized for its ability to nourish and revitalize the skin. It helps to leave the skin feeling smooth and hydrated, improving overall skin texture and clarity.

Suitability for Your Skin Concerns

• Dehydration: Both Plankton Artemia Extract and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate are hydrating ingredients that can help address skin dehydration, which is a concern for both your dry U-zone and dehydrated T-zone. Using them as a toner can provide a layer of hydration.
• Clogged Pores and Large Pores: While these ingredients support general skin health, they are not primary treatments specifically targeted at clearing clogged pores or significantly reducing pore size. Addressing clogged pores often requires ingredients that focus on exfoliation or regulating sebum production, or adjustments to your cleansing routine.
• Dark Spots: Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate may help with overall skin clarity over time, which could potentially improve the appearance of dark spots indirectly. However, for targeted treatment of hyperpigmentation, ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are typically more effective.

Using Squalane

Adding Squalane at the end of your routine is an excellent choice. Squalane is a highly compatible moisturizer that helps to fight dryness, improve skin flexibility, and retain moisture. It is suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin, as it is non-greasy and non-comedogenic.

Further Advice

As the staff mentioned, while the mixture is possible, its overall suitability depends on your complete skin profile and routine, especially concerning clogged pores. Providing details about your age and current cleansing products/frequency will help in giving more tailored recommendations to address all your concerns effectively.
