Sleeping Mask Formula for Dry and Aging Skin

Here is a review of your proposed sleeping mask formula and suggestions for enhancement, focusing on hydration and lifting/firming for dry and aging skin.

Your current formula includes several beneficial ingredients:

• Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate): Known for skin repair benefits.
• Safe B3 (Niacinamide): Helps with skin barrier function, hydration, reducing redness, and improving skin tone. The staff suggestion to increase its concentration up to 5% or even 10% (given the high purity of Safe-B3) is a good way to boost its efficacy for dryness and overall skin health.
• GlucoBright (N-Acetyl Glucosamine): Works well with Niacinamide for brightening and also helps stimulate hyaluronic acid production for hydration.
• Double Hyaluron Liquid: Provides multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid for surface and deeper hydration.
• Reshape Gel: Acts as the gel-forming agent, providing a unique texture.
• Mild Preserved Eco: Provides preservation.

To further address dryness and add significant lifting and firming benefits, consider incorporating the following ingredients:

• Ceramide Complex: Ceramides are essential lipids in the skin barrier. Adding Ceramide Complex helps replenish these lipids, significantly improving skin hydration, reducing dryness, and strengthening the skin barrier, which is crucial for dry and aging skin.
• Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening): This ingredient provides both an immediate tightening effect and long-term lifting benefits with continuous use, targeting the lifting and firming goal.
• Pep®-Replex: A peptide blend specifically shown in studies to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and deep lines, directly addressing the aging and lifting concerns.
• Advanced Moisture Complex: A blend of humectants and skin-identical ingredients that provides intense and long-lasting hydration, perfect for very dry skin.

Here is a suggested revised formula incorporating these ingredients:

• Water: 60.2%
• Repair Activator: 10%
• Reshape Gel: 5%

3. Once the mixture has cooled below 40°C, add Repair Activator, Ceramide Complex, Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening), Pep®-Replex, and Mild Preserved Eco. Stir gently until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed.
