Toner/Essence Formula for Sensitive, Weak Skin (Combination to Oily Skin)

For skin experiencing sensitivity, irritation, redness, thinness, and weakness, especially after laser treatment, which is currently oily with rash and inflamed acne, the expert recommends focusing on restoring and strengthening the skin barrier first before addressing clogged and inflamed acne. This approach prevents further irritation to already weakened skin.

The suggested formula for combination to oily skin, designed as a gel, includes the following components:

• Glycyrrhetinic Acid 3% Helps reduce skin irritation and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
• Telmesteine 2% (Specific product information not found)
• Allantoin 0.25% Helps reduce irritation, counter allergies, and supports the creation of new tissue.
• Ceramide Complex 5% Helps restore the damaged skin barrier, making the skin stronger, reducing allergic reactions, and preventing water loss.
• Safe-B3 3% (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) Helps reduce inflammation and redness, increases moisture by stimulating ceramide and collagen production, strengthens the skin, and helps control oiliness.
• Pro Polymer 1% Used to create a gel texture.
• Water or other base (e.g., Hydrating Floral Water) to 100%.
• Preservative (as needed).

Instructions:

To create a gel texture, disperse Pro Polymer in the desired water or base and mix until a gel is formed. Then, add other water-soluble ingredients and mix thoroughly. For ingredients soluble in Glycol (like Glycyrrhetinic Acid), dissolve them in Glycol first before adding to the main formula.

This formula will help soothe irritated skin, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce redness and rash. Once the skin is stronger, you can then consider using ingredients for acne treatment, such as BHA.
