Hyaluronic Acid Powder Low Molecular Weight 10g

Wow .I love this! It has A LOT more in it than you think. No funny smells, colorless, and its easy to make a serum. I have been mixing with purified water and a little coconut milk.it gives my face almost a satin sheen and can feel it being absorbed. I plan to try some other mixtures and the wonderful thing about the pure powders is you can customize them to suit your own needs. No more one size fits all skin care ! This one is made for me. I can see how it plumps the fine lines out and I can see a big change around my lips and one the tops of my cheeks Ill be fan for life. Love it. I Will be buying every month. andit s fun to see what else I can do with it. Im giving you a 5 star thumbs up

I had been using High Molecular Weight HA for a couple of weeks on my face/ hair with nice moisturizing results. But at some point I read on beauty blogs and publications that since Low Molecular Weight HA is better absorbed through the skin, that it was a much better option for the face. Made sense to me. Because of this I bought a LMW HA serum to put on my skin. This serum felt differently, watery yet more drying that the HMW HA (HMW can initially feel a bit drying on the skin). My face also felt irritated ( I have acne-prone skin) after the first days of using it. I still decided to buy this powder and the results very similar to the serum I bought.So I decided to do some research on the difference between both, the HMW and the LMW, because I could not understand why the LMW, which is supposed to be a far better option for the skin (according to the beauty industry) , did not give me the good results I have with the HMW. Interestingly enough I found this: "Transepidermal water loss increased by 55.5% with low-molecular weight , and was reduced by 28% with crosslinked resilient , and by 16% with HMW". So more water loss with LMW? Not good.I also noted this: "There is abundant experimental evidence from the human physiology and biochemistry literature to support the basic notion that LMW-HA is inflammatory, pro-fibrotic, and associated with adult scarring phenotypes rather than fetus-like, scar-free, truly regenerative healing. The latter is what we want in an any aesthetic procedure, or topical adjunct to a procedure, or just for topical use." This part here may explain why my face felt irritated and even got a mild breakout after using the LMW HA. More info on this on Barefacedtruth. They have detailed explanation and comments on this.I did give this product a 3-star because it is nicely packaged, has the detailed info on the product, etc. 2 stars down for being marketed as a potent moisturizer.

I am redoing my review for this as things have changed. I complained about it being watery before, but I must not have put quite enough powder in the water to form a gel. it is definitely a gel now and I am pleased. I still find I cannot use it with just water or something else wet on my face because it still dries me out if I don't put a moisturizer on top. But that's okay. I use it and then after it dries I immediately put on another moisturizer. I also use it now with my derma roller to get the best results for increasing the collagen and elastin in my skin. I would never buy a pre-made serum again as it is so much more expensive that way and so easy to make otherwise. I would recommend this to others.

Yesterday I tried making a serum. I used 1 level tsp of the hyaluronic acid and 3.4 oz of water, this is a recipe I have used in the past. It was only liquid, so I added a little more LMWHA to the mixture, it is still liquid today. The water was right out of the fridge, and it was shaken in a bottle and I waited for the bubbles to go away. Today I will try the recipe given in the answered questions. If it is any better I will change my stars. Made another batch this morning. It also is just water, no viscosity to it

Make my own creams. It's fun!! And cheaper and I can add lots instead of store bought where they skimp and you have to buy 10 creams before you get all the things in a cream you want.

I followed the directions and it did not take. It turned out just like water, it did not gel up at all. I think it was a bi waste of my money.

I make my own face cream with this and a few other necessary ingredients. It's emollient qualities are silken. Daily care of your skin with this and your skin will be too.

It turned out like water...I will not buy it again....
