Skincare Formulation for Sensitive, Acne-Prone Teenage Skin

Recommendations for Teenage Skin Care (Age 14, Sensitive, Easily Irritated, Relatively Dry with T-zone Acne)

For 14-year-old skin that is sensitive, easily irritated, relatively dry, and has acne in the T-zone area, the focus should be on gentle care, providing hydration, soothing the skin, and addressing acne concerns specifically. I would like to suggest guidelines for selecting ingredients for both product types:

1) Daytime Face Gel

For a daytime face gel, the texture should be light, easily absorbed, and non-greasy for comfort throughout the day. It should focus on ingredients that provide moisture, reduce inflammation, and help strengthen the skin barrier.

• Gel Base: You can use Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base as a foundation. It has a light texture and focuses on providing hydration.
• Key Ingredients:
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Such as Safe-B3™ or Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Switzerland) helps reduce acne inflammation, control oil in the T-zone, and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: You might add Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule) or Hyaluronic Acid (Super Low Molecule, 7000daltons) to enhance water-binding capacity and provide moisture to relatively dry skin.
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Such as PreB5™ helps soothe the skin, reduce irritation, and provide hydration.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract: Such as Pure-TECA™ Centella Asiatica Extract helps reduce inflammation and soothe sensitive, easily irritated skin.

2) Nighttime Face Cream

A nighttime face cream can have a slightly richer texture than the daytime gel to help repair and strengthen the skin while sleeping. It should focus on ingredients that help reinforce the skin barrier and provide intense hydration.

• Key Ingredients:
  • Ceramides: Such as Ceramide 3 (Ceramide NP) or Ceracare™ Liposome-3 are crucial for building a stronger skin barrier, helping reduce water loss, making the skin strong and hydrated, and decreasing the chance of irritation.
  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Such as Safe-B3™ or Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Switzerland) is still beneficial for managing acne and strengthening the skin barrier at night.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: You can use Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule) or Hyaluronic Acid (Large Molecule) to help retain moisture in the skin.
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Such as PreB5™ helps soothe and restore the skin.

Using these ingredients at appropriate concentrations (according to the usage recommendations for each ingredient) and choosing a gentle product base will help effectively care for your teenage skin, Cherry.
