Reduce glycerine or add some silicones

thank you. silicone can dissolved in water? can i use peg-12 dimethicone?
-
No, silicones are not soluble in water. You need to emulsify them. Dimethicone should be fine
-
Yes peg-12 dimethicone is a good option

Over the past 20+ years, I have formulated face serums (I prefer the term face oil) for various brands globally. And my approach has always been to formulate using high-quality oils that will provide the outcomes required by the client.
These formulations have been enormously successful.

is oil base serum much better than water based?

Hi Harkem,
When you ask me if “oil base serum much better than water based?” two thoughts come to mind.
(1) I’m an old scientist (in my 70s) and when you mention the word ” serum” what comes to mind is the clear liquid part of the blood that remains after blood cells and clotting proteins have been removed. At one time I worked in a serology lab where we worked with bovine serum.
(2) I listen to my clients and the specs for new products they are asking me to formulate for their brand. And based on these specs, I will tend toward formulating high-quality oils.
