There are many DIY recipes available, each with different degrees of difficulty. Most important is quality and ingredient combinations, which will ultimately affect the effectiveness and range of benefits for your particular skin type.
You should also know that using a preservative is important to maintain the shelf life of your product and prevent the early growth of harmful bacteria. To avoid this, you can simply add a broad-spectrum preservative (such as Germall Plus or Optiphen) to any of the following recipes.
Hyaluronic acid serums should be applied to clean, moist skin. Allow the serum to be fully absorbed, then continue with your preferred skincare routine. If not applied to wet skin, this acid can have the opposite effect and dehydrate the skin.
Water-based serums are absorbed more quickly into the skin. Oil-free serums have the added benefit of not clogging pores, making them ideal for people with oily or acne-prone skin.
1/4 cup distilled water
1/2 teaspoon hyaluronic acid powder
1/4 teaspoon glycerin (optional)
1/4 teaspoon liquid preservative (optional)
Addresses:
In a glass jar, combine the hyaluronic acid powder with water and glycerin or preservative (if used)
Cover the jar and shake well
Store in the refrigerator for several hours until it thickens; consistency should be smooth as hyaluronic acid absorbs water.
Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C are often combined together. Vitamin C has been shown to have an anti-aging effect when used in concentrations between 5 and 15%. Vitamin C can fight free radicals, reduce inflammation, lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. These benefits complement the hydrating and anti-aging properties of hyaluronic acid.
1 teaspoon of pure L-ascorbic acid vitamin C powder
3 teaspoons of distilled water
1 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid powder
Addresses:
Combine all the ingredients in a glass container.
Channeled into an opaque glass bottle that has a pump or dropper
Rosewater is a popular ingredient in skin care due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Combining your DIY serum with rose water can help reduce acne and inflammation while offering the benefits of the powerful effects of hyaluronic acid.
Glycerin adds moisture, and hydrosol (a liquid distilled from flowers and other plants) provides a smooth texture and a fresh scent.
1 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid powder
1/2 cup of hydrosol (pink or regular)
1/2 teaspoon of food-grade glycerin
2 drops of rose essential oil
A glass dropper bottle
Addresses:
Combine the hyaluronic acid powder and the hydrosol in a glass jar.
Add glycerin and rose essential oil; mix well
Close the jar and refrigerate for 4 hours to allow the ingredients to combine.
Keep the serum refrigerated
Preservatives keep the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast that thrive in water-based skincare products at bay. Some preservatives prevent these irritants individually, but broad-spectrum preservatives like Germall Plus and Otiphenwork can prevent all three.
If you choose to incorporate a broad-spectrum preservative, your serum can have a shelf life of up to three months when stored at room temperature.
If you forgo a preservative, you would need to store your homemade whey in the refrigerator for a shelf life of up to a week.
You should also keep your product in a tightly closed opaque container to prevent oxidation, which can reduce the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid and some other ingredients like vitamin C.
