Double Hyaluron Liquid and Gel Formation

Regarding your question about using Double Hyaluron Liquid at 1% to create a gel texture:

• Gel Formation at 1%: Based on the product description, Double Hyaluron Liquid contains a blend of Nano and Standard molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The Nano size does not create a gel, and the Standard size only forms "a little gel". The recommended usage rate for normal skin hydration is 3-5%. Therefore, using it at only 1% is unlikely to create a significant gel-like consistency. Higher concentrations or hyaluronic acid types with larger molecular weights are generally needed to achieve a thick gel texture. Products like 4D Hyaluronic Acid are formulated as thick gels and might be more suitable if your primary goal is gel formation.
• Compatibility with Electrolytes: Hyaluronic acid polymers are generally sensitive to electrolytes (salts). Adding ingredients that contain electrolytes can disrupt the polymer structure, leading to a decrease in viscosity or a loss of the gel consistency, causing the solution to become more liquid. While the product description doesn't specifically mention electrolyte compatibility, it's a common characteristic of hyaluronic acid.

In summary, 1% Double Hyaluron Liquid is unlikely to form a strong gel, and its viscosity is likely to be reduced by the presence of electrolytes.
