Thanks for your responses, it gives me a lot to think about. I guess the first step would be to read the patent and see what exactly is patented.

Thank you for responding.

To give more details. For example, if I use some actives that are non-patented and have research surrounding them as a potential acne solution, and then there is a patented compound that contains glycerin, an active, and one or two other ingredients, I guess I am unable to use that active from that compound and make similar claims?

What if I use the active but do not overtly advertise that active in the description, and make the other actives (non-patented) the stars of the show, so to speak?
