Simple Serum Recipe for Post-Laser Skin

Based on the previous discussion, mixing liquid active ingredients into a pre-made base like Aloe Vera Gel is indeed a simple and effective way to create a soothing serum for post-laser skin.

Here's how you can easily mix the recommended ingredients:

1. Start with a base: Use a pre-made Aloe Vera Gel, such as Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy).
2. Add the actives: Add the liquid Beta Glucan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract) and Calendula Extract (Water Soluble) directly into the Aloe Vera Gel base.
3. Mix: Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly dispersed.

This method, as suggested by the staff and cosmeceutical7, is straightforward and doesn't require precise weighing or complex equipment. While the final concentration of Beta Glucan and Calendula Extract might be slightly lower than the initial recommendation (10% and 5% respectively) when added to a larger volume of Aloe Vera Gel, it is still effective and suitable for soothing skin after laser treatment.

Benefits of the ingredients:

• Aloe Vera Gel: Provides moisturizing properties, helps condition the skin, and reduces inflammation and irritation. It also aids in wound healing.
• Beta Glucan (Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract): Helps strengthen the skin's immune system, reduces allergic reactions and irritation, and can help restore weak or irritated skin.
• Calendula Extract (Water Soluble): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and inflammation. It also moisturizes and helps accelerate skin layer formation, which is beneficial for healing.

This simple serum can help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and support the healing process after Q-Switched laser treatments.
