DIY HA Skincare – UPDATE
Feb 19, 2025 Update – New molecular weight, why switch to Low weight when the High Weight HA makes for great skincare and best results in the long run. My personal preference, HW/HA is stable, and Low Weight HA is not for me.Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid has been found to have a pro-inflammatory effect. It does penetrate deeper to plump the skin, but it can have an adverse reaction on certain skin types. This is information I gathered from a couple of reputable sources when searching for differences between the two molecular weights, High and Low.High molecular weight hyaluronic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect and less likely to irritate, even with consistent use. The best way to hydrate your skin overall is with water. But your skin needs help, and high molecular weight HA works to keep the skin’s top layer protected and moisturized. The top layer of your skin is the most vulnerable to the elements, so my choice is High Molecular weight HA powder for my DIY skincare products. I have been very pleased with MicroIngredients and their previous versions of High Molecular Weight HA. Back to the drawing board and moving forward in search for a good quality High Molecular Weight HA Powder. Very disappointed because I do like this company and their manufacturing practices with their past products. Would be nice if MicroIngredients could manufacture both molecular weights and give their customers a choice.June 26, 2024 Update – As of today I have gone back to my usual routine using the suggested recipe by MicroIngredients for skin hydration of 1/8 tsp HA powder to 2 oz purified water, on my face and neck. In other words I’m applying the regular strength HA mix to my face and neck, arms and legs. Had given the stronger percentage a trial run on face and neck and after a couple months there did not seem to be a significant difference in moisture retention. (See my previous update below) It’s all good. The recommended percentage of HA does the job. Hope these updates help others who are using MicroIngredients as a part of their skincare routine.On June 1, 2024 – Updating to say I am now also using a 1-ounce amber glass pump bottle with double the suggested recipe by MicroIngredients (1 tiny scoop with the provided plastic 1/8 tsp measuring spoon, and I fill the bottle with filtered water close to the top allowing for a vigorous shake to mix it together. I add only 1 drop of Lavender essential oil to this mix). As with both recipes, cold filtered water works best. I put this on my face, neck and chest only. For arms and legs, I have the original recipe prepared in a 4 oz amber glass dropper bottle, and mix it according to their suggested measurement of one scoop per 2 ounces of water. It has pumped up the moisture retention on the surface of my skin and there is improvement in skin texture. This high molecular weight HA powder by MicroIngredients is top of the line and all the credit goes to their science and reliability of high quality standards.UPDATE, February 2024 – For anyone looking to consume this HA Powder as a supplement taken internally, there was at one time detailed information noted on the product description stating as such. The company also listed it as a topical application to keep skin hydrated. Based on the recent change in product description, I am under the impression MicroIngredients is now suggesting this HA Powder be used more for topical skincare. I say this because MicroIngredients has only one statement included in its features and use, for mixing it in smoothies. Everything else listed pertains to topical skincare.If you are interested in taking this internally, I advise you to contact the manufacturer by going to their website and reaching out to them directly.I am a firm believer this HA powder is the best High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Powder out there for external application. Been using it now for almost a year and the results are impressive. Read all my updates on the powder and decide for yourself.UPDATE, October 2023 – Still loving the results of this HA DIY skin serum. Use it twice daily before applying a moisturizer. Simple and real results. I hope others can benefit from it as I have.Original Review March 2023 – I decided to order a new package of this MicroIngredients HA Powder recently, and I noticed there was a recipe for making the facial serum with the tiny scoop (1/8 teaspoon) included with the order. Not sure if I missed the instructions before with the previous order, or whether this new HA powder is a better grade, maybe all of the above. I’ve got to say I agree with one reviewer who recently said how pleased she was with this powder as a facial serum. I mixed the powder exactly as noted on the directions and it formed a light serum gel easily applied to the skin and absorbed immediately. There was no film, no flaking when applying a moisturizer following application of the serum, or unusually tight feeling on my face. I’ll just leave it at that and I changed my rating from 3 to a full 5 Star review. As long as the product continues to be consistent in this high quality form, I’ll be a customer for life.

Easy to prepare and will last a long time
Easy to prepare and will last a long time. After a month of use my friends at work have noticed a change in my skin. This sure is a compliment since I am in my mid 60’s. I am such a minimalist and this works in my daily routine. Wonderful product

Easy to mix leaves a small white residue.
Large quantity. Easy to mix. Leaves a slight residue, if not mixed with a moisturizer.

Works great!
Love being able to make my own as I use it a lot. Cost saving for sure!

Best thing
