I just posted on the Garden of Wisdom forum asking for advice about honey and it looks like 20% is the maximum % of honey without the end result being too sticky. So that's like 1 teaspoon honey, 5 teaspoons water, and however much HA you need to turn that into a HA serum.

I'm looking at the personal forumalator now, and I'm pretty sure it means 2% of the 1% solution. But that's for a moisturizer, that wouldn't be enough HA to make a serum with just water. I'm looking at lotioncrafter also, and there 1 g of HA costs 5$, so that's more evidence that the HA on the personal formulator is already in a 1% solution. According to lotioncrafter, HA is recommended to be used as .1% to 1% in formulations. And many commercial HA serums (PSF, etc) are 1% HA.

So anyway I think you can add however much of the 1% HA from personal formulator as you want. Try something like this: 1 part honey, 4 parts water, 1 part HA. This recipe would be about 20% honey and .2% HA.

Hi everyone I wonder if anyone can tell me if I mix Hyaluronic Acid powder with cold boiled water if this would be ok to inject as a filler, as I have really deep elevens, Ive try'd every cream going and nothing works.

I really hope you are trolling! If you knew anything about anatomy/ physiology/ nursing/ dermatology you would know why that is a crazy idea. Boiling does not sterilise water nor the HA, you don't know what molecular weight HA you need, your house is not a class 1 clean room, you don't have the skills to ensure there are no tiny bubbles in your syringe, you don't have access to sterile needles and syringes, you don't know how deep to inject ..... etc.

If you want instant enduring results try Botox. If you want cheaper read the threads on Safetox gadget, dermarolling and facial exercise. Also look at how hydrating your entire skincare routine and diet are. I highly doubt you have tried every cream going: options alongside the techniques listed above include Retin-A with a vit C serum, a cream combining lanolin with a humectant, Cellese AnteAGE.
