Night Cream Formulation for Acne Scars & Brightening: Cream Maker Compatibility with AHA

Based on your proposed formula for a night cream targeting acne scars, dullness, and skin plumpness, and the feedback from the staff, here is a summary:

Your formula includes AHA (5%), Vitamin B3 (5%), Vitamin B5 (3%), Preservative (1%), Light Cream Maker™ (3%), and water.

Key points from the feedback:

• Active Acne: It is highly recommended to manage active acne first. Continuous breakouts will lead to new scars, counteracting the effects of scar treatment.
• Cream Maker Compatibility: Light Cream Maker™ is not suitable for this formula due to the low pH caused by 5% AHA. It will not properly create a cream or gel texture.
• Recommended Alternatives: The staff suggests using Pro Polymer or AnyGel instead of Light Cream Maker™ to achieve a stable gel texture at the required low pH.
• Ingredient Compatibility: The combination of AHA, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, and preservative is compatible.
• Effectiveness: With the appropriate cream maker change, this formula can effectively help with reducing acne scars and brightening the skin. It may contribute to a plumper feel and potentially improve the appearance of minor pitted scars over time through skin renewal, but it will not significantly help reduce new acne or physically "fill" pitted scars.

Therefore, your formula is viable for its intended goals (scar reduction, brightening, plumpness) provided you replace Light Cream Maker™ with a suitable alternative like Pro Polymer or AnyGel and ideally address any ongoing active acne issues first for better long-term results.
