Hello Alexandra, Although the formula is designed for the over 30s, the serum contains no ingredients that are contraindicated for younger skin. If the complexion demands, the serum can be used with peace of mind for younger adults. Have a sunny day!

I have some questions, if you could help me... Is it possible to apply this serum, intermixed with AHA&BHA, to a 23 year old male with a history of acne? How about in the same combination for a 17 year old teenager with mild acne? I had read among the comments that you recommend using this serum after the age of 30, so I'd like to know if there could be any negative effects in applying to younger people. Thanks in advance!

Hello Ana, At 5% the 5% concentration comes out. The manufacturer's data sheet mentions the recommended dosage. In the case of professional formulations the dosage may be different from the proposed safety margin. Have a sunny day!

Hello! I would like to make a serum with 10% Niacinamide and possibly 1% Hyaluronic Acid LMW. How do I modify the rest of the ingredients to make a stable serum. I want it more concentrated. Thanks!

Hello! Marine-Z or Pure-polis (propolis extract) would be suitable additions.

Hello! It can be removed, it is not an indispensable ingredient, possibly replace with silk protein, vegetable collagen, glycerin. Good luck!

Hello! Another preservative we can't indicate, unfortunately. Softdermo complex would be a gentle alternative, but it is not effective in the specific pH of this formula.

Dear Anita, the lactic acid is very small in the recipe and is used to regulate the pH, it is not harmful to the skin with rosacea. Have a nice day!

Dear Elemental Team! I would like to make this recipe, but I would like to ask for your help and opinion on one thing. Because of my rusty skin, can AHA lactic acid be included in the preparation? Thank you very much for your reply. Anita

Hello! The problem may be in the dosage of the xanthan gum, being a very small amount, it can easily be wrong; a higher dosage of about 2% panthenol is not a problem. If the xanthan has been dosed correctly and therefore the serum has been prepared according to the recipe, try applying a smaller amount to the complexion, spreading it well with circular movements.

Please help me, why does the serum go down after it dries on my face, as if it was an egg white remains on my face, and if I touch it again it goes down like a clay mask after it is dried.. where am I wrong? I added all the Ingredients as in the recipe, only the Pantheon dropped 2 drops and the scale shows me 0,7g. Could that be the problem?

Instead of still water, can distilled water be used?
