Skincare Formulation Advice for Different Skin Concerns (Acne, Aging, Clogged Pores)

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out! I understand you'd like to make homemade creams for your family members with different skin concerns. Based on the information you provided and the staff's recommendations, here is a summary and some suggestions:

For the 23, 34, and 36-year-olds (Acne, Clogged Pores, Scars, Pores, early Wrinkles):

The staff advised that for skin prone to acne and clogged pores, it's best to avoid oil-based formulas as they can worsen clogged pores. Water-based gel formulas are recommended instead.

• Salicylic Acid Gel (2%): The staff specifically recommended a 2% Salicylic Acid Gel to help dissolve clogged pores and prevent new ones. This can be applied all over the face.
• Staff's Recommended Gel Formula: The staff also provided a sample gel formula suitable for combination skin that helps balance oil without heavy moisturization. This formula includes:
  • Disodium EDTA 0.20%
  • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 5%
  • Glucosamine 4%
  • Mild Preserved Eco 1%
  • Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 1%) 1.00%
  • Pitera 30.00%
  • L-Carnitine 3%
  • Pro Polymer 1%
  • Water to 100%
  • Mixing Instructions: Add ingredients to water, stir until dissolved. Add Pro Polymer last and stir for 10-15 minutes until gel forms.

For the 34 and 36-year-olds, it's recommended to focus on treating acne and clogged pores first before addressing wrinkles, as you mentioned.

Your initial proposed cream formulas contain oil phases, which the staff advised against for acne-prone skin. Therefore, these formulas are not suitable for the 23, 34, and 36-year-olds.

For the 60-year-old (Normal Skin, Wrinkles, Melasma, Freckles):

This individual has different concerns (aging and pigmentation) and needs a different formula than the acne-prone group. Since her skin is normal (not dry), a formula targeting wrinkles and melasma/freckles would be suitable. Would you like me to suggest a formula for her?

Regarding the Hybrid Sunscreen Formula from YouTube:

Without knowing the specific ingredients and formulation of the YouTube hybrid sunscreen, it's difficult to say if it's suitable for everyone in your family. Sunscreen suitability depends on individual skin type, concerns, and sensitivity. It's best to review the ingredients list and texture to see if it aligns with each person's needs (e.g., lightweight for oily/combination skin, suitable filters for sensitive skin).

I hope this helps! Let me know if you'd like a formula suggestion for the 60-year-old.
