I just finished the 'Functional Ingredients in Skincare Products' course and I'm really happy with what I learned. The course was super helpful in giving me a better understanding of how to choose the right ingredients for different skin types and concerns. I liked that the course included a lot of practical examples and case studies, which made it easier to understand the concepts. The instructors were also really knowledgeable and responsive to questions. One thing that I found really useful was the module on natural and organic ingredients - it's a big trend in the Mexican market right now and I feel like I have a good handle on how to formulate products that meet those standards. The course materials were good, but sometimes I felt like they could be more detailed. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to improve their skincare product development skills.
