How to make a Skin Brightening Serum | Effective + Hydrating!

[@johanna5844]

I have already made this twice and it is my all-time favourite serum of yours. It's amazing stuff. It's so far the only serum that has helped with stubborn hyperpigmentation I've had on my eyelids and on cheeks - I apply it around eyes and on eyebrows but not directly on lids (if that makes sense). I made another one with no thickener & emollient and another one with HEC & lamesoft po65. They're both really lovely (scented with rose hydrosol). I think I like the thinner one more as I can easily layer it. Both have 50 kda HA that I typically use. Love how easy this is to make. You have done amazing work again - hopefully you're enjoying your summer. ❤️

When you say "stubborn hyperpigmentation" what do you mean exactly?

[@johanna5844]

@@robertamichaels4504 Dark eyelids occur when the skin surrounding the upper eye region darkens in colour. Hyperpigmentation on cheek bones is another, separate issue. Hyperpigmentation is generally caused by an increase in melanin. With stubborn I refer to the fact that I've had these two issues for very long time. Hopefully this helps!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Welcome!! ❤️ Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on KZbin since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!

Is there any way to replace the PEG Dimethicone for coco caprylate caprate since it works as a silicone replacement?

[@radhikanagdev5937]

Lovely formulation ❤️thanks for sharing ❤️

[@adaobiazuka4253]

This is beautiful. I love how your allantoin dont get cloudy.each time i use allantoin in my formula even after dissolving in heat phase after a while it start to recrystalize

[@kajolgolchha1326]

Greatly explained and enjoyed the way . I have request please do a deep dive about hyaluronic acid because it has different molecular weight so confused how to choose so it will be useful if u come with a deep dive in hyaluronic acid. Loved the video . thankyou mam

[@karenleslie7058]

I’m actually going to try this with all the scary ingredients!! Would love you to formulate Moor Spa Herbal Toner all skin types” I love it. Bought from my my daughter-in/laws private spa. It’s light, moisturizing and smell is light but gorgeous. Cheers Karen Ottawa

[@pamcotterman7073]

That looks delicious - so many ingredients 🙃

[@jupiter7107]

I thought water bath would be required as there’s gum used, and heating will give a better coalescence of the ingredients, please correct me if I’m wrong 😊 I’m just a newbie and here to learn thank you ❤

I wish you formulate a serum with alpha arbutin or kojic acid both suits me but not niacinamide sadly 😢

Hi Marie - can polyquaternium 7 be used in place of polyquaterium 10? Many thanks Sandra

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I've had issues with polyquaternium 7 globbing up and settling out in formulations like this. You can try it, but watch for that :)

[@kpoonsawad1]

I love love this video ❤️❤️ so just gather the ingredients and made it. It’s been like 2 hours and the serum is still cloudy. But the ph is good the feeling is great. What should I do? 😅

There an alternative to peg-8 dimethicone? Can dimethicone 500 work?

[@MaiTran-pi6nn]

Hi, thank for your video, however I have use 2% NAG and 4% Niacinamide in my serum and cream only, not the same ratio as yours

Is this night use?

[@monikaykataria3838]

Very nice mam, can i replace isoamyl laurate2% for dimethicone to cut the stickyness.... ur suggestion means a lot, thank u so much in advance mam.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

HI Monika! Have you read the free partner blog post yet? It discusses alternatives & substitutions. You cannot replace the PEG dimethicone with an ingredient that is not PEG because it will separate. Happy making!

Hello. I just tried for the 3 rd time. I finally got soft xanthan gum. When I mixed everything together. The mixture still seems not dissolving into clear serum. It’s been like an hour. At the stage some ingredients floats on the surface. I hope it would be ok in a few hours later. I wonder what went wrong. Thank you. 🥺

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hi! It's not going to be totally clear-you can see it's a wee bit hazy in the video :) You shouldn't get any splitting, though. Are you sure your dimethicone is PEG'd?

[@kpoonsawad1]

@@HumblebeeAndMe hii so glad to hear from you! I am sure I used peg 8. Tried 3 times it came out like some frosting floats on top. So I made some research which with my limited knowledge came out I tweaked to heat up water n hydrosol with allontoin n Panthenol. Wait to cool down then mixing the rest together. It came out beautiful but yet not as clear as yours. Now my only concern is how do I know if I control the heat with Panthenol not to be too long..?? By the way, I’m so very I love with your formula. Which made me kick my Dior serum into the bin. Yes I did that to Dior. It was horrible so not worth it the super expensive price. It was tacky n greasy. Since I’ve been using your formula my skin say yessss thank you!!!! Super skin food!! Thank you for answering me ❤️❤️❤️

[@sarine6237]

Not sure where you can get pure betaine - and have never used it... also not on your encyclopedia. Not in the regular places either.
