Question

What kind of base gel is typically used in products marketed as "White Skin Opening Serum Concentrate" (หัวเชื้อเซรั่มเปิดผิวขาว), and what ingredients help achieve the "white skin opening" effect?

Answer

Understanding "White Skin Opening Serum Concentrate"

Regarding your question about the base gel used in a "white skin opening serum concentrate" (หัวเชื้อเซรั่มเปิดผิวขาว), the term "เปิดผิวขาว" (white skin opening) is not a standard technical term in cosmetic formulation. It might refer to products that aim to:

  • Exfoliate the skin: Removing dead skin cells to reveal brighter skin.
  • Enhance absorption: Preparing the skin to better absorb subsequent brightening ingredients.
  • A general marketing term for skin brightening products.

Without seeing the specific product you mentioned, it's difficult to identify the exact base gel used. However, based on common serum formulations and products available, the base could be one of several types:

  • Silicone-based serum base: Like Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye), which provides a light, smooth, and fast-absorbing texture. These bases are often made with silicones such as Cyclomethicone and Dimethicone.
  • Water-based gel base: Such as Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base, which focuses on providing hydration with a light, non-greasy feel. These typically use gelling agents and humectants like Hyaluronic Acid.
  • Serum bases with pre-added actives: Some bases, like Specialist B3 Serum, already contain a blend of active ingredients aimed at brightening and improving skin texture, such as Niacinamide, Glycolic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, and Ascorbyl Glucoside.

To achieve a "white skin opening" or brightening effect, various active ingredients can be added to a suitable serum base. Some examples of brightening ingredients include:

  • Yeast Radiance™: A protein extract from yeast that helps brighten and increase skin radiance.
  • Pep®-Radiance (Nonapeptide-1): A peptide that helps inhibit melanin synthesis.
  • MelaninTerminate™: A protein extracted from pearls that works by blocking the endothelin receptor to prevent melanin formation.
  • Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™): An ingredient derived from fermented lemon peel known for its tyrosinase inhibiting properties, which helps suppress skin pigmentation.

Therefore, the base gel in the product you saw could be a simple serum base (like silicone or hyaluronic acid based) combined with one or more of these or other brightening active ingredients, or it could be a base that already contains some active components.
