Looking at everything, the various elixirs from the cultivation side are the easiest to replicate in this world. The only difference is the lack of essence of the sun and moon and spiritual energy, which are easy to obtain. However, the specific formulas still need to be adjusted.
After careful comparison and consideration, the technology side was ruled out due to the high level of technology required, making it difficult to explain. The magic and sorcery side lacked raw materials, leaving only the elixirs from the cultivation side.
With readily available ingredients and the ability to explain them with esoteric ancient formulas, Ding Yun quickly began researching repair products for ordinary people based on various cultivation elixirs, using herself as the test subject.
After all, she had plenty of elixirs and other good things from different sides. Even if she were disfigured, she could recover quickly. She had absolutely no fear.
During the experiments, apart from Zhu Yunying who visited periodically to take things and required a wisp of Ding Yun's mental power to carry more items, nothing else could interrupt Ding Yun's experiments.
Such diligent and focused research naturally yielded results quickly.
After multiple experiments, Ding Yun, using the powder of Replenishing Spring Elixir, Meridian Soothing Elixir, and a very small amount of Diamond Body Tempering Elixir powder, combined with Jade Visage Cream and Iron Shirt Secret Medicine, and Iron Sand Palm Secret Medicine, mixed them in different proportions.
She formulated a cream that, theoretically, should be effective for over 99% of patients with skin damage.
The reason for not stating 100% effectiveness was that some people had extremely peculiar allergies, and the world was full of wonders. It was best not to speak too definitively.
However, this was the original formula, with relatively moderate functions. The formula could be adjusted according to each person's specific condition later.
For example, for those with prominent redness on their face, congenital redness not caused by a thin skin barrier, more Meridian Soothing Elixir powder could be added. For redness caused by incorrect skincare leading to a thinned skin barrier, in addition to more Meridian Soothing Elixir powder, Diamond Body Tempering Elixir powder should also be added. Diamond Body Tempering Elixir could make human skin indestructible, so strengthening the skin barrier would be effortless.
For scars on the face, minor ones could be treated by adding more Iron Shirt and Iron Sand Palm Secret Medicine. These two secret medicines were specifically designed for injuries to the body and skin sustained during the practice of Iron Shirt and Iron Sand Palm. As long as they were not old scars accumulated over years, they could be easily removed.
For old and severe scars, more Replenishing Spring Elixir powder and Jade Visage Cream needed to be added appropriately.
The Replenishing Spring Elixir, needless to say, could heal broken limbs and internal injuries in a short period. Combined with the Jade Visage Cream, originally used by cultivators for scar removal, it could be said without exaggeration that scars as large as one meter long and half a meter deep could be removed.
However, the formula formulated this time was mainly for skin problems, not beauty and skincare, so the beauty-enhancing effects would be relatively weaker. But even with weaker effects, they would definitely be better than those high-end skincare products.
The results would be more immediate. After all, Ding Yun had used cultivation elixirs.
Even if the total amount of elixirs in a portion of cream was less than one milligram, it was still an elixir. It was nothing compared to elixirs concocted by mortals.
However, even though the product was ready, promotion and marketing were still a major issue. In this era, even good wine feared a deep alley. Without promotion, no one would know, let alone use it.
To attract attention and increase buzz, Ding Yun first prepared a batch of scar removal cream with the primary purpose of treating scars. Then, using her newly registered skincare and cosmeceutical company, she publicly recruited trial users. Anyone who livestreamed the use of the scar removal cream for a week would receive a reward of ten thousand yuan.
If the damage worsened due to improper use according to the requirements, the company would compensate one million yuan.
The more severe the facial scars, the better, especially those reaching the level of disfigurement. Considering the potential psychological pressure of livestreaming, the corresponding reward would be doubled to twenty thousand yuan.
As for the money, it would naturally come from the original body's assets first. Once profits were made, it would be repaid.
While other businesses might suffer losses, Ding Yun had even brought out elixirs. If she still failed, it would be unreasonable. She wouldn't lose money and didn't need to worry about not being able to repay Zhu Yunying or others for using the funds now.
With Ding Yun's investment in promotion and the temptation of earning ten to twenty thousand yuan in a week, people soon began to sign up. The number of applicants even quickly exceeded the limit. Ding Yun had to quickly close applications and reject those with less severe scars from the remaining pool.
It was a joke. Ding Yun was not a merchant who lacked confidence in her products. She was very confident in the scar removal cream she had made. Therefore, the more severe the scars on the users' faces, the more it would showcase the effectiveness of her cream. A small scar less than a centimeter on the face would not show a significant contrast.
It had to be said that spending money on advertising was indeed effective.
Not to mention that Ding Yun had specifically targeted people who had searched for scar removal products.
Therefore, soon after the twenty people she hired to test the scar removal cream began their livestreams, people gradually started to enter the livestreams to watch. They watched over twenty streamers, who did not use any beauty filters and had facial damage that could be described as disfigurement, livestreaming their use of the scar removal cream.
Their livestream process was basically the same: first, they showed everyone their diagnostic reports from skin clinics. Some who had undergone skin grafts even showed their corresponding surgical orders, before and after photos, and more. After showing these contents, they didn't stop there. They also publicly used various facial cleansing and makeup remover products, and pinched their faces and noses to let everyone confirm that they were not wearing disfigurement makeup or masks.
Only after completing these steps did they begin to apply the scar removal cream, thickly.
During the process, some remained silent, some cried and recounted why they were disfigured, and some directly chatted with the audience in the livestream.
A few minutes later, some began to feel a slight tingling and itching on their faces, not a painful tingling, but a pleasant, effervescent sensation.
Ding Yun had informed them of this in advance, so they did not panic, but merely described their feelings truthfully.
In reality, the scar removal cream Ding Yun had formulated for the best effect could achieve complete healing in one application. However, because the healing was too fast, the rapid regeneration of the skin would cause the scar removal cream to feel extremely painful and itchy on the face, making it unbearable. At this point, most people would think the product was problematic and wash it off.
To prevent such a situation, Ding Yun had diluted the scar removal cream to some extent.
Instead of complete healing in one application, it now required three applications per day for seven days to achieve perfect recovery. However, even so, the medicinal effect was still quite potent. After all, the normal skin metabolism cycle was over twenty-eight days.
The healing period for scars would only be longer.
Now, shortened to seven days, and only causing slight tingling and itching on the face, was the result of Ding Yun adding a considerable amount of soothing elixir powder.
In the future, during mass production, with further dilution and extending the treatment period to one month, there should be no noticeable sensation.
Half an hour later, the scar removal cream had been largely absorbed and digested by their skin. The remaining unabsorbed ingredients had also turned transparent. Through this layer of transparent paste, everyone who watched from beginning to end could basically see that the scars on the streamers' faces had indeed faded considerably.
Of course, compared to the audience, the streamers themselves were more sensitive to the changes in their skin condition. They were basically screaming with excitement.
Then, they hurried to get water to wash their faces and examine themselves closely in the mirror.
Some even cried while looking.
Choked with emotion, they said they never expected that the scars on their faces could actually be completely healed.
The doctors who performed skin grafts had said it was basically impossible.
Ding Yun specifically left a message for each of the livestreams, which displayed genuine emotions, reminding them to follow the normal livestream procedure and not to apply more on their own.
Although applying more would not be poisonous, it would definitely intensify the tingling sensation.
Moreover, she had paid for seven days of use. If it was healed in three to five days, what would they do for the remaining days? Chat and fool around?
