Comparison of Hyaluronic Acid Types for Gel Serum

When creating a gel serum, the choice between Hyaluronic Acid (Large Molecule) and Hyaluronic Acid (Japan) will result in different textures and absorption properties.

• Hyaluronic Acid (Large Molecule):

  • Has a molecular weight of approximately 2,000,000 Daltons.
  • Primarily works on the outer layer of the skin.
  • It creates a good gel texture and coats the skin surface well.
  • Due to its large size, it is not absorbed into the skin.
  • This type is good for providing surface hydration and creating a protective film, but may feel heavier and less easily absorbed compared to smaller molecular sizes.

• Hyaluronic Acid (Japan):

  • This type is a blend of various molecular sizes, designed to act on all layers of the skin.
  • It is known for giving a very clear gel texture and a "special touch" feel.
  • It is the same grade commonly used in popular Hyaluron serums sold in Japan.
  • Because it contains a range of molecular sizes, including smaller ones, it is expected to be absorbed more easily and provide hydration at different depths.

Conclusion:

For a gel serum with a lighter, smoother, more pleasant texture and better absorption, Hyaluronic Acid (Japan) is the more suitable choice. Its blend of molecular sizes allows it to hydrate multiple layers of the skin and provides a refined feel often preferred in serums.
