Water-Soluble Skincare Ingredients for Facial Device Use

Based on your facial device's requirement for water-soluble skincare and your skin concerns (dry, sensitive, easily reddened, occasional acne, seeking moisture, firmness, wrinkle reduction, and brightening), here are some recommended water-soluble ingredients you can incorporate into a suitable formulation, such as a gel or serum.

To create a water-based formula, you would typically combine water with a water-soluble thickener to achieve a gel or serum consistency, and add a water-soluble preservative.

Key Water-Soluble Ingredients for Your Skin Concerns

• For Moisture and Hydration:

  • Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule) and Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule): These work at different depths of the skin to provide surface and deeper hydration, helping to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness.
  • Advanced Moisture Complex: This is a blend of moisturizing ingredients designed to provide immediate and long-lasting hydration, improving skin softness and barrier function.

• For Sensitivity, Redness, and Soothing:

  • Extreme-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Highest Purity): A highly pure form of Niacinamide that is gentle on sensitive skin. It helps reduce redness and irritation, strengthens the skin barrier, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Allantoin: Known for its soothing and anti-irritating properties, helping to calm sensitive and easily reddened skin.
  • Pep-Calm™ (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8): A peptide specifically effective in reducing skin redness and combating irritation.

• For Anti-Aging, Firmness, and Wrinkle Reduction:

  • Pep®-Max12 (12 Peptides Mixture, 2200ppm): A comprehensive blend of peptides that work together to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity and firmness, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Pep®-Synthe6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38): A peptide specifically developed to help reduce the depth of wrinkles.

• For Brightening:

  • Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, Vitamin C Ethyl Ether): A stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C that helps brighten the skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.
  • Extreme-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Highest Purity): Also contributes to brightening by reducing dark spots.

• For Occasional Acne:

  • Extreme-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide, Highest Purity): Helps regulate oil production, which can be beneficial for acne-prone skin.
  • Pep®-Acne (Oligopeptide-10 Anti-microbial Peptide): An anti-microbial peptide that can help control acne-causing bacteria.

By combining a selection of these water-soluble ingredients in a simple water-based gel or serum formulation, you can create a product suitable for use with your facial massage device that addresses your specific skin concerns.
