Question

I want to mix Double Hyaluron Liquid with Pep®-Eye (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5) to make a serum for the under-eye area to reduce eye bags. What is the recommended concentration for Pep®-Eye, and is mixing 10g of Pep®-Eye with 120g of Double Hyaluron Liquid appropriate?

Answer

Mixing Double Hyaluron Liquid with Pep®-Eye for Under-Eye Bags

Yes, you can mix Double Hyaluron Liquid with Pep®-Eye (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5) to create a serum for the under-eye area to help with eye bags. Double Hyaluron Liquid serves as a suitable base, and Pep®-Eye is an active ingredient specifically designed to address concerns like eye bags and dark circles.

You mentioned mixing 10g of Eyeseryl (Pep®-Eye) with 120g of the Double Hyaluron base. This results in a concentration of approximately 7.7% Pep®-Eye in the final mixture (10g / (120g + 10g) = 10/130 ≈ 0.0769 or 7.69%).

However, the recommended usage rate for Pep®-Eye (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5) is typically 1-5%, with 3% being the recommended concentration for optimal results and safety. While 7.7% is within a broader range sometimes mentioned for this peptide, it is higher than the specific recommendation for this product.

Using a concentration higher than recommended, especially in the delicate eye area, might increase the risk of irritation without necessarily providing significantly better results. It is generally advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommended usage rate for active ingredients.

Recommendation:

To ensure safety and efficacy, it is recommended to adjust the amount of Pep®-Eye to fall within the 1-5% range. For a 120g base, adding approximately 3.7g to 6.3g of Pep®-Eye would result in a concentration between 3% and 5% in the final mixture (120g base + 3.7-6.3g Pep®-Eye ≈ 123.7-126.3g total).

Using Pep®-Eye at the recommended concentration (e.g., 3-5%) should still be effective in helping to reduce the appearance of under-eye bags within the expected timeframe (typically 4-6 weeks with consistent use).
