How to Dissolve 4D Hyaluronic Acid in Water (For Toner)

For 4D Hyaluronic Acid, which is a thick gel concentrate designed to dissolve easily in water, you might still encounter clumping issues. Here is a recommended mixing method to achieve a smooth, clear toner:

1. Prepare the Water Phase: Use clean water (such as distilled or RO water) at room temperature or slightly warm (not hot).
2. Add Gel Slowly: Gradually scoop or pour the 4D Hyaluronic Acid gel into the water phase little by little.
3. Stir Continuously: While slowly adding the gel, use a stirring rod or a mixer (if available) to stir the water phase continuously and evenly. This helps to disperse the gel and prevent it from clumping together.
4. Allow Time for Hydration: If small clumps still remain, don't worry too much. You can let the mixture sit for a while (e.g., 2-3 hours, or even overnight in the refrigerator) to allow the clumps to gradually absorb water and dissolve completely.
5. Stir Again: After letting it sit, stir the mixture again. Any remaining clumps should have dissolved into the water, resulting in a smooth, clear toner.

Adding the gel slowly to the water while stirring continuously is the best way to ensure good dispersion and prevent clumping. The recommended usage rate for normal or dehydrated skin in a toner is 2-5%.
