Recommended Ingredients for Facial Cream

To create a facial cream that provides the benefits you desire, including skin brightening, reducing acne marks, melasma, freckles, and dark spots, tightening pores, reducing acne and inflammation, gentle exfoliation, and reducing irritation, you can consider incorporating these key active ingredients:

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that helps reduce redness and dark spots from acne, reduces acne inflammation, controls oiliness, minimizes the appearance of pores, strengthens the skin barrier, and contributes to overall skin radiance.
• Alpha Arbutin: Specifically targets skin brightening by inhibiting the enzyme Tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production. It is effective in reducing melasma, freckles, dark spots, and other hyperpigmentation.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): Ideal for acne and pore concerns. BHA can penetrate pores to help exfoliate clogged cells and reduce inflammation. It helps prevent acne breakouts and makes pores appear smoother. Choose a form of Salicylic Acid suitable for leave-on products.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica): Known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-healing properties. It can help reduce redness, calm irritated skin, and support skin repair, which is beneficial for acne-prone skin and reducing acne scars. It also stimulates collagen production.
• Gluconolactone (PHA): A Poly Hydroxy Acid that offers gentler exfoliation compared to AHAs. Its larger molecular size allows it to penetrate the skin more slowly, reducing the potential for irritation. It helps smooth skin texture, improve radiance, and also provides hydration.

Combining these ingredients in a suitable cream base (consisting of base ingredients like oils/emollients, emulsifiers, thickeners, preservatives, etc.) can help you achieve a product with the desired properties. However, developing a stable and highly effective formula requires knowledge and experience in selecting appropriate concentrations for each ingredient and ensuring compatibility among all components.

You can find more detailed information about these ingredients in the product descriptions on the website or look for basic formulations in the recipe section as suggested by the staff.
