Hi Laura, In theory, hyaluronic acid HMW can be replaced with hyaluronic acid LMW or Oligo. In this case, as the latter do not have a gelling effect, add 0.07-0.1% xanthan gum to the formula.

Hello Mariana, For enlarged pores, we recommend formulas with fruit acids, serums and toners, as well as purifying and pore-cleansing masks. Have a sunny day!

Hello Laura, Instead of glycerin you can use another humectant such as sodium PCA or propanediol.

Hello Adriana, If you use the serum in a relatively short time, then it is not mandatory to add the chelator.

Hello Aida, Although toner, especially in fall-winter it is okay to use it in the morning, if you have a sensitive complexion, we recommend using a sunscreen during the day. Have a peaceful day!

Hello Dorina, 1. Yes, you can add xanthan gum 0.1-0.2% to phase B. In this case we recommend pipette instead of spray pump. 2. Yes, you can make the suggested substitutions. Measure the pH of the product at the end and adjust if necessary.

Hello Could we make a few modifications to get more of a serum from this recipe? 1. Could we add xanthan gum, to gel it a bit? If so, in phase A, or after mixing with phase B? 2. Can we substitute distilled water for the imortelle and witch hazel water (so we have equal amounts), 45.5% of each? Thanks for the wonderful recipes!
