Preparation method:

In two separate heat-resistant containers, add the ingredients of phases A and B. The two glasses are heated in a water bath, to 70°C, stirring from time to time.
When both phases have reached the right temperature, they are removed from the heat.
Add the contents of phase B over phase A and mix for about 3 minutes. To speed up the cooling process, place the composition over a bowl of cold water and mix for another 3 minutes.
Let the composition cool to body temperature and add the ingredients from phase C, one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each.
The cream thus obtained is transferred to the dedicated container. The consistency of the cream will be finalized the next day. pH: 5.5-6

A delicate cream with a light, non-greasy texture, suitable for normal, mixed or oily skin, useful for alleviating sunspots, age spots or post-inflammatory spots (scars, acne). The formula aims to even out skin color and brighten the skin, has a moisturizing and anti-aging effect. It can be applied on the face once a day, in the morning or in the evening, after cleansing and toning the skin. If the skincare routine also involves chemical exfoliation (with AHA/BHA), then the cream is applied 10-15 minutes after exfoliation.
The cream should be used as a treatment, for a period of 1-2 months, after which there is a break of 1-2 months. During the treatment it is necessary to photoprotect the skin during the day.

Options and explanations:

the formula contains a fairly high percentage of kojic acid, so the cream will be used as a treatment; the percentage of kojic acid can be reduced to about 0.5% in which case the cream can be used for a longer period, as needed
vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) will not be replaced by the other variant of vitamin C, ascorbic acid
instead of fragard you can also use cosgard, in which case the smell of the cream will be a little less pleasant
instead of coco-silicone - a dry emollient that adds a sensory addition to the cream - you can also use a vegetable oil of your choice (one that is resistant to heating), or you can increase the percentage of white lily oil accordingly
