Review of Gel Formulation for Acne-Prone, Sensitive Skin

The gel formulation you provided looks interesting and should be suitable for your skin type, which is oily, sensitive, acne-prone, and currently using acne medications that can cause dryness and peeling.

Here is an analysis of the ingredients in your formula:

• Texture: The formula has a high percentage of water and uses Pro Polymer as a gelling agent, resulting in a lightweight, easily absorbed gel texture that is not sticky. This is very suitable for oily skin and is unlikely to cause clogged pores easily.
• Hydration and Soothing: WaterLock (Polyquaternium-51) is an excellent moisturizer that helps form a thin film on the skin to prevent water loss. Cucumber Extract also provides good hydration and soothes the skin. These ingredients will help alleviate the dryness and peeling that may occur from using Differin and Benzac, without feeling heavy on the skin.
• Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant: This formula is rich in natural extracts with prominent soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, including French Pine Bark (Pycnogenol), Active Resveratrol, Calendula Extract, and Hi-EGCG (Green tea extract). These ingredients are very beneficial for sensitive skin, helping to reduce redness, itching, and various irritations. They also help protect the skin from free radicals, which is beneficial for overall skin health.
• Preservative: Mild Preserved (Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol) is a relatively gentle preservative system, suitable for sensitive skin.

Conclusion:

This gel formulation focuses on providing lightweight hydration, soothing the skin, and reducing inflammation. This meets your need for a nighttime gel to use alongside your acne treatments. The lightweight gel texture is suitable for oily skin, and the various ingredients help reduce sensitivity, irritation, and redness. It appears to be a suitable formula for your skin type.
