Hyaluronic Acid Plumping Serum
Superior Hydration + Skin-Friendly Hyaluronic Acid + Radish Root
A Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum can plump fine lines and wrinkles. It uses naturally occurring glucosamine, an essential amino acid for a smoother, fuller, more youthful appearance.
A plumping serum combining low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (NASHA gel) with Argireline. It holds water in the skin so lines look softer and the surface looks fuller. Oil-free and non-comedogenic.
If your skin is dry, crepey or looking thin, this draws and holds water where it is needed. Apply a pea-sized amount to damp skin and follow with moisturiser if you use one.
- Low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (NASHA gel) — surface and deeper hydration
- Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) for the look of softened expression lines
- Paraben-free, cruelty-free, made in the USA
- Oil-free, non-comedogenic gel
- Suits all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry and combination
Why two molecular weights
They do different jobs. High molecular weight HA sits nearer the surface and gives the immediate plumped look. Low molecular weight HA travels further down and holds water at depth, which is what softens the look of fine lines over time.
Single-weight formulas give you one or the other. This gives you both.
Hyaluronic acid works like a sponge — it is a humectant, which means it draws moisture in and expands. That expansion is the plumping effect.
Serum or moisturiser — you probably want both
People get these confused because both say they hydrate. The difference matters.
A hyaluronic acid serum holds water inside the skin. A moisturiser has a heavier cream or oil base that slows evaporation from the surface. One works from within, the other seals the top.
If your skin is chronically dry, use both. Serum first onto damp skin, moisturiser over it.
Why hyaluronic acid specifically
Because your body already makes it. It is present in your eyes and your joints, and skin recognises it. That is why it is so well tolerated — sensitivity to hyaluronic acid is rare.
Massage a pea-sized amount onto damp skin. It works immediately on how the surface looks and feels, and more gradually on the look of fine lines with continued use.
What is in it
The serum also carries Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), the peptide used for the look of expression lines — forehead creases, the 11s, and crow's feet. So the formula covers two things at once: how full the skin looks, and how settled the lines look.
Want to add more, or something different? This serum is also the base most of our customers use for blending. See the serum booster chart for rates, or start with Argireline or Matrixyl 3000.

Questions & Answers
Here is the recipe and instructions:
1 Ounce Hyaluronic Acid
72 Drops of Matrixyl 3000
.33 grams of GHK-Cu Powder
90 Drops Argireline
Add Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline to the 1 ounce of Hyaluronic Acid. Mix until well blended. Then add the .33 grams of GHK Copper Peptide Powder. Mix again. If the GHK has not dissolved, let set for about 10-15 minutes or until all crystals disappeared. Your formula will turn a shade of blue with the Copper Peptide powder added to it.
Preservative Considerations:
- If the hyaluronic acid serum you are using already contains a preservative system, you might not need to add additional preservatives. However, this depends on how much serum booster you are adding and the nature of the booster.
- **When you may need to add a preservative:**
- If you are significantly diluting the original serum with boosters or other ingredients.
- If the booster itself does not contain preservatives and you are concerned about the stability of the final mixture.
- In general, a well-preserved serum should maintain its stability, but if you are making a large batch or significantly altering the formula, adding an antimicrobial like Leucidal SF Complete (which is commonly used in skincare) might be advisable.
The Ultra Hyaluronic Acid can be used as a base for making skincare. You can add up to 40% water-based peptides, hydrosols, botanicals, and other anti-aging ingredients without having to add an additional preservative.
Our regular Hyaluronic Acid uses Leucidal Liquid for additional moisturizing properties.
