Morning Cream Formulation for Combination/Oily Skin: Texture, Whitening, Oil Control, and MatteSilica Function

Based on the ingredients you've selected and your skin type and concerns, this formulation appears well-suited for a morning cream.

Here's a breakdown of how the ingredients address your needs:

• Texture (Non-sticky, suitable for makeup): The staff confirmed that most ingredients won't cause stickiness. While Aloe Vera Gel might have a brief sticky feel, it dries quickly. Importantly, MatteSilica™ is included specifically to absorb excess oil, which will help create a matte finish and ensure the cream doesn't feel heavy or interfere with your sunscreen (Anessa gold) and makeup application. Vitamin B3 can also help improve skin texture and reduce pore appearance, contributing to a smoother base for makeup.
• Whitening: N-Acetyl-D Glucosamine (GlucoBright™) and Alpha Arbutin are effective skin brightening agents that work through different mechanisms to reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve overall skin tone. Vitamin B3 also has brightening benefits.
• Oil Control: MatteSilica™ is a key ingredient for absorbing excess sebum, particularly beneficial for your oily T-zone. Vitamin B3 also helps regulate oil production over time.
• Combination Skin: The combination of oil-controlling ingredients (MatteSilica, Vitamin B3) with soothing and hydrating components like Aloe Vera Gel and Licorice Root Extract makes this formulation suitable for combination skin, addressing oiliness without overly drying other areas. Licorice Root Extract also offers anti-inflammatory benefits.

Overall, the ingredients you've chosen align well with your goals for a non-greasy, brightening, and oil-controlling morning cream that works effectively under makeup.
