Question

I am using the pre-made product "Hyaluron Serum Preservative-Free". If I want to make it more watery, do I need to create a new formula myself?

Answer

I understand you're looking to make the Hyaluron Serum more watery. The pre-made formula is designed with a specific consistency and composition. Diluting it by adding more water is generally not recommended as it can affect the product's stability, efficacy, and safety, especially since it's a preservative-free formula (adding water could introduce contamination risks). To achieve a significantly different, more watery consistency while maintaining control over the formulation's properties and stability, creating a new formula from scratch is indeed the standard and recommended approach. This allows you to adjust the concentration of ingredients, including the thickening agent (like Hyaluronic Acid) and the amount of water, to get the exact texture you desire.
