Usage and Compatibility of Aloe Vera Gel Tester Formulation

Asked by: gashbell_7918 On: October 09, 2017 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

Regarding the Pure Aloe Vera Gel Tester formulation with the following ingredients:

  • Alpha Arbutin
  • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
  • Coenzyme Q10
  • Centella Asiatica Extract
  • Apple Stem Cell Extract
  • AcneBee™ Extra
  • AminoSilk™
  • Phospholipid

I have the following questions:

  1. Can this formulation be applied both morning and evening?
  2. Can it be used together with other products like sunscreen or night cream?
  3. Will it pill or flake ('เป็นขุย') when applied, similar to some general aloe vera gels that form a film and flake when other products are layered on top?

Answer

Regarding the formulation you ordered, here are the details you requested:

  1. Can this formulation be applied both morning and evening?
    Yes, the ingredients in your formulation, including Alpha Arbutin, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Coenzyme Q10, Centella Asiatica Extract, Apple Stem Cell Extract, AcneBee™ Extra, AminoSilk™, and Phospholipid, are generally suitable for use both in the morning and evening. There are no ingredients listed that would typically restrict its application to only one time of day.

  2. Can it be used with other products like sunscreen or night cream?
    While we cannot definitively guarantee compatibility with all other products without knowing their specific ingredients, the components in your formulation are generally compatible with common skincare products such as sunscreens and night creams. You can typically incorporate this formulation into your routine by applying it after cleansing and before applying heavier creams or sunscreen.

  3. Will it pill or flake like some general aloe vera gels when other products are applied on top?
    Pilling (forming small flakes or "khui") can occur due to various factors, including product layering, ingredient interactions, or the formulation itself. While the Pure Aloe Vera Gel base is formulated to minimize pilling when used alone, the addition of multiple active ingredients and subsequent layering with other products could potentially contribute to pilling in some cases. However, ingredients like AminoSilk™ and Phospholipid are included to help improve texture and absorption, which should reduce the likelihood of pilling compared to a simple, unformulated aloe gel. If you experience pilling, try applying a thinner layer or allowing each layer to absorb completely before applying the next product.

Please note that this formulation is a tester formula intended for evaluating the performance of the ingredients, not for use as a finished cosmetic product.
