Formulation Advice

Your chosen ingredients, including HyaCoat, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Coenzyme Q10, Repair Activator, DMAE, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, create a potent formula targeting moisturizing, anti-aging, and antioxidant benefits.

• Moisturizing: Pure Aloe Vera Gel provides a soothing base. HyaCoat (Cationic Hyaluronic Acid) offers long-lasting hydration by adhering to the skin, and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) enhances moisture retention and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Reduction: Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate) helps repair DNA damage caused by UV exposure. DMAE works to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) helps relax facial muscles to reduce expression lines. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) also complements DMAE for improved tightening effects.
• Antioxidant: Coenzyme Q10 is a strong antioxidant that helps repair skin damage and reduce wrinkles caused by UV light.

The staff's suggestions of adding Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3) and Phospholipid are excellent.

• Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3): This ingredient is highly beneficial for combination skin with wrinkles. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone and hyperpigmentation, and can also help regulate oiliness. Using it alongside Panthenol (Vitamin B5) further supports overall skin health.
• Phospholipid: This acts as a penetration enhancer, helping the other active ingredients absorb better into the skin layers. It also provides additional moisturizing benefits and supports the skin's natural barrier, which can help reduce potential irritation from potent actives like DMAE.

Adding Safe-B3 and Phospholipid will enhance the effectiveness and skin-benefiting properties of your formulation. The current list of ingredients is comprehensive for addressing your concerns of wrinkles and combination skin.

Usage: Morning vs. Night

The staff correctly noted that Coenzyme Q10 has a distinct yellow color. While beneficial for its antioxidant properties, this color can make the cream unsuitable for daytime use, especially under makeup.

• For Nighttime: The full formulation including Pure Aloe Vera Gel, HyaCoat, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Coenzyme Q10, Repair Activator, DMAE, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Safe-B3, and Phospholipid is ideal for your nighttime routine. The rich blend of actives can work overnight to repair and rejuvenate the skin.
• For Daytime: If you wish to use a similar cream during the day, it is recommended to create a separate version without Coenzyme Q10 to avoid the yellow tint. The daytime formula could include Pure Aloe Vera Gel, HyaCoat, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Repair Activator, DMAE, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Safe-B3, and Phospholipid. This version still provides significant moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-strengthening benefits without the color issue.

Using appropriate formulations both morning and night will provide continuous care for your skin concerns.
