JAKARTA – Various formulas for facial or skin care products offer manufacturing technology. Starting from being formulated from one type of material to a combination of ingredients to get optimal treatment results.

Skin care products that are formulated from one ingredient and are only suitable for one skin type are called single ingredient skincare.

Reported by Vogue, Monday, September 27, single ingredients make a product look very specific. According to Ghazal Alagh, Founder of The Derma Co., a single type of active ingredient can be chosen for those of you who have skin problems.

Treatments with these active ingredients need to be used to get specific targets. For example, dealing with acne prone skin, pigmentation, open pores, and overcoming dry skin.

After the target works optimally and overcomes certain complaints on the skin, product users can move on to the next stage of the product. Still with the single ingredient claim, after overcoming acne, the user needs to go to the next stage, namely removing acne scars with active ingredients whose formulation is also gradual.

Alagh said, because it is specifically formulated, users also need to recognize the condition of their skin. For someone with sensitive skin conditions, skin care products with single ingredient formulations are recommended because they minimize allergies and adverse reactions to certain ingredients.

In contrast to products that claim to be all-in-one. This product does not have a specific formula, but it can be used to treat several skin problems at once. According to Prudvi Kaka, chief scientist at parent company Deciem, one can use multi-ingredient products as a maintenance measure.

This means that the all-in-one formula can generally be used for daily maintenance. While single ingredient products can be used to address specific skin problems. These differences affect the price. The majority of single ingredient products are more expensive than all-in-one products.

Which one is most effectively used? Because they have different purposes, before choosing one it is necessary to identify the problem with your skin. Ideally, before choosing which one is the most appropriate, consult with a skin care expert so that you get the right direction.
