Feedback on Your Skincare Formula for Dry, Wrinkled Skin

Thank you for sharing your formula and question about its suitability for dry, tight skin with wrinkles and achieving a "clear, youthful face".

Based on the feedback provided, here's an assessment:

While cosmetics like this formula can significantly help with moisturizing dry skin and offer limited improvement for wrinkles, achieving a truly "clear, youthful face" depends on a broader skincare approach, including protecting your skin from damaging factors like UV exposure.

Regarding your specific formula:

• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) at 2% is considered high and may result in a sticky feel. A concentration of 0.1-0.5% is generally sufficient, unless your skin is exceptionally dry.
• Water Lock (Polyquaternium-51) should not be used at more than 2%. Please verify the maximum recommended usage rate for safety. Using ingredients at concentrations higher than recommended can potentially harm the skin.

To better address very dry skin, the staff recommends adding ingredients that help coat the skin and prevent water loss. Consider incorporating:

• LipidSoft™ Film (Tridecyl Trimellitate) at 5-10% to help form a protective film on the skin.
• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) at 3% to boost skin hydration.
• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) at 5%.

In summary, your formula can be adjusted to effectively address dryness and wrinkles. However, achieving a "clear, youthful face" is a holistic goal that requires comprehensive skin care practices beyond just this formulation.
