Sleeping Gel Mask Formula for Oily Skin to Reduce Acne, Melasma, Freckles, and Dark Spots

For skin concerns like acne, melasma, freckles, dark spots, and oiliness, you can choose ingredients with properties that address these issues in a Sleeping Gel Mask format. This provides a lightweight, non-greasy feel suitable for oily skin. Here are some interesting ingredients:

  • Acne Reduction, Oil Control, and Anti-Inflammation:

    • Pep®-Acne (Oligopeptide-10 Anti-microbial Peptide): A peptide that helps inhibit P.acnes bacteria, one of the causes of acne.
    • Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 1%, Water-Soluble): Licorice extract helps reduce inflammation, reduce redness from acne, reduce irritation, and helps control facial oiliness.
    • QD-365 Anti-Acne Complex: An ingredient that helps reduce acne inflammation, inhibits various types of bacteria, reduces acne scars, and helps brighten the skin.
    • Pro Acne Solution Post-Acne Marks Reduction (Compare Eucerin): A gel base containing Salicylic Acid, which helps exfoliate skin cells, reduce clogged pores, control oiliness, and also contains ingredients that effectively reduce acne marks. It can be used as a primary component in the formula.
  • Melasma, Freckle, Dark Spot, and Scar Reduction:

    • Hexylresorcinol AF (e.q. Hentowhite): Helps reduce dark spots, melasma, freckles, and brightens skin tone by inhibiting the Tyrosinase enzyme in the melanin production process.
    • B3-Boost™ (Picolinamide): Research shows it can help reduce blemishes/dark spots.
    • QD-365 Anti-Acne Complex: In addition to helping with acne, it also helps reduce acne scars and makes the skin look brighter.
    • Pro Acne Solution Post-Acne Marks Reduction (Compare Eucerin): Helps reduce scars and dark spots caused by acne.

When developing a Sleeping Gel Mask formula for oily skin, a lightweight, easily absorbed gel base should be chosen, focusing primarily on water-soluble ingredients. Some ingredients soluble in Glycol, such as B3-Boost™, can be dissolved in Butylene Glycol before being incorporated into the formula.
