Serum Formulation for Acne-Prone, Oily, Dry, Sensitive Skin with Anti-Aging

Hello! Thank you for consulting about your formula.

Based on your skin type (dry but oily T-zone, sensitive, prone to clogged and inflamed acne) and your goals (moisture, plumping, smoothing, anti-wrinkle, gentle, acne help), we have reviewed your proposed formula.

As the staff mentioned, the original formula could be adjusted to better address your specific concerns, particularly the acne and oiliness in the T-zone, while still providing moisture and anti-aging benefits gently.

Here is a revised formula proposal:

• Repair Activator: 20%
• Centella Asiatica Extract: 2%
• Ceramide Complex: 3%
• beta glucan: 3%
• Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release): 1%
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide): 3%
• Pro Polymer: 0.5%
• Mild Preserved Eco: 1%
• Water: 66.5%
• Total: 100%

Explanation of Key Ingredients and Benefits:

• Repair Activator (20%): Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, contributing to smoother skin.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (2%): Known for its soothing and healing properties, helps calm inflammation and supports skin repair.
• Ceramide Complex (3%): Supports the skin's natural barrier function, helping to retain moisture and reduce dryness, while keeping the concentration moderate as suggested for non-severe sensitivity.
• beta glucan (3%): Provides moisture and soothing benefits, helps strengthen the skin barrier, used at a moderate concentration.
• Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release) (1%): A gentle form of BHA that helps exfoliate within pores, addressing clogged pores and acne while being less irritating for sensitive skin.
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) (3%): A multi-functional ingredient that helps balance oil production (beneficial for the oily T-zone), improves skin barrier function (helps with dryness), reduces inflammation (good for acne), and can help with pore appearance and fine lines.
• Pro Polymer (0.5%): Acts as a thickener to give the serum its desired texture.
• Mild Preserved Eco (1%): Provides necessary preservation for the formula.
• Water: The base of the serum.

This revised formula aims to provide hydration and anti-aging benefits while actively addressing acne and balancing oiliness in a way that is gentle for sensitive skin.

Please note that this is a suggestion, and it's always recommended to patch test any new formulation.
