About this concentrate
Collagen XG+ brings shiitake mushroom extract into a hyaluronic-acid-based concentrate for practitioner-directed facial skincare. It is the dry-skin-focused option discussed in the AcuMicro-sponsored workshops, with an emphasis on a smooth, supple, well-moisturized appearance.
Choose it when dryness, a rough feel, or fine lines made more noticeable by dehydration are the main cosmetic concerns. The concentrated format lets the practitioner adjust the final texture within a suitable formulation protocol.
When to choose it
- Dry-feeling or dehydrated-looking skin
- A rough feel or fine lines associated with dryness
- Facial routines focused on a smoother, more supple appearance
Preparation & use
Why dilute?
Our serums are supplied in concentrated form. Dilution helps you tailor the strength and texture, make each vial go further, and reduce concentrate costs per application. Use a compatible base and follow the preparation guidance below.
Dilution at a glance
The standard preparation range is 10–20% concentrate in the finished blend. Choose the strength and compatible base for your formulation protocol.
| Final blend | 10 mL batch | Using one 15 mL vial |
|---|---|---|
| 20% concentrate | 2 mL concentrate + 8 mL base | 15 mL concentrate + 60 mL base = 75 mL |
| 10% concentrate | 1 mL concentrate + 9 mL base | 15 mL concentrate + 135 mL base = 150 mL |
These percentages describe the bottled concentrate as a share of the finished blend, not the percentage of pure botanical ingredient.
Base selection: The workshop materials discuss hyaluronic acid, vegetable glycerin, and purified water as blending mediums. Use these only within a compatible, verified cosmetic formulation; the finished blend needs appropriate preservation and stability.
Apply the prepared formulation to clean skin as part of the skincare plan selected by the practitioner.
Prepare with care
- Use clean hands, a sanitized work area, and clean measuring tools and containers. Measure accurately and mix thoroughly.
- Use a compatible cosmetic base and a verified formulation protocol. Adding water or other ingredients changes preservation and stability; a dilution ratio alone does not establish a safe shelf life.
- Keep the original vial tightly closed. Follow its label for storage and expiry. Do not assign the original expiry date to a diluted or blended product without appropriate formulation testing.
Care & precautions
- For external topical use. Do not ingest.
- Patch test the finished formulation on a small area before wider use. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Stop use if irritation occurs.
- Use professional judgment when selecting the formulation, application method, and timing for each client.
- Use caution during pregnancy and seek appropriate professional guidance before use. Check the complete ingredient list for known sensitivities.
