I am developing a serum formulation and plan to use 30% water and 20% distilled Witch Hazel in the 50% water phase of the formula. Is this ratio suitable, and will it be effective for pore tightening?

Answer

Formulation Advice for Serum with Witch Hazel

Regarding your question about using 30% water and 20% witch hazel in the 50% water phase for your serum formulation:

  • Based on the provided discussion, it is possible to use this split, but it is considered too weak for significant effect.
  • The recommendation is to use distilled witch hazel for the entire 50% water phase instead of splitting with water, as using only 20% witch hazel will be too weak.
  • Additionally, if the goal is pore tightening, it is suggested to include active ingredients such as MSM, Vitamin B3, and Zinc PCA for better results.
