Hi Chris, the Japanese n-gram data is unfortunately not 
publicly available. Using google hits (or preferably bing, 
as it seems to fudge the numbers less) for the word/phrase 
(in quotation marks) is an acceptable and sometimes even 
preferable substitute (the n-gram data is from 2007).
As for references, you can use free dictionary sites like 
weblio.jp, kotobank.jp and alc.co.jp, etc. for access to 
dictionaries like daijisen (daijs), daijirin (daijr), 
progressive ei-wa chujiten (prog), kenkyusha shin-ei-wa 
chujiten, eijiro (eij), etc. 
There's some more in the editorial policy, if you haven't 
seen it already. 
http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Editorial_policy

Thanks Rene. Sorry, for the lack of references, I'm still kind of new at this and not 
quite sure of the process you guys are expecting. Looking at those dictionaries 
you're are referencing, they seem pretty expensive. Is it OK to just invest in one, 
and then use that as a reference when I have something I'd like to submit? 

I've also seen "google n-grams" and "mainichi" referenced before. Is that just a 
matter of searching for the word on the relevant site, and seeing the number of 
hits it get? Or is there something more sophisticated to it than that? I ask because 
as far as I can tell Google's n-gram viewer doesn't include a Japanese corpus 
(https://books.google.com/ngrams).

I don't think the suffix sense needs to go first just because it's more common.
If a person is looking up "学", it's unlikely they're confused by words like 数学, 地理学, etc.

"A buzzword for lotion in the cosmetics market"

I question whether "serum" is an English word that can refer to liquid cosmetics.
I suspect it's Japlish.
In OED, I don't think there is a sense of "serum" that is similar to 美容液:
.
serum
1a. Watery animal fluid, normal or morbid; spec. blood-serum, the greenish yellow liquid which separates from the clot when blood coagulates.
b. Therapeutics. The blood serum of an animal used as a therapeutic or diagnostic agent.
2a. attrib. (of 1), as serum albumin (cf. seralbumen n.), serum-globulin.
b. Used attrib. (with or without a following hyphen) to denote (the concentration of) substances in the serum.
.
In Japanese, the word セラム is used, and it often seems to mean much the same thing as 美容液.
But I don't think セラム means "serum" when used in the context of cosmetics.

Google Translate gives the following alternatives for 美容液:
- essence
- serum
- liquid cosmetics
- beauty essence
- beauty care liquid
and indeed I see that "serum" is in the EDICT definition of 美容液.
But is "serum" is an English word that can refer to liquid cosmetics, or is it Japlish?
In OED, I don't think there is a sense that is similar to 美容液:
.
serum
1a. Watery animal fluid, normal or morbid; spec. blood-serum, the greenish yellow liquid which separates from the clot when blood coagulates.
b. Therapeutics. The blood serum of an animal used as a therapeutic or diagnostic agent.
2a. attrib. (of 1), as serum albumin (cf. seralbumen n.), serum-globulin.
b. Used attrib. (with or without a following hyphen) to denote (the concentration of) substances in the serum.

One more example:
セラムという言葉を初めて聞きました。トリートメント剤ということかな。使用前使用後がイラストっぽく変わりましたね。

Examples:
- 髪の根元のための洗い流さないセラム。根元から再生し、年齢を感じさせない髪へ。
- 使用感はゆるーいセラムで顔全体に広げてもとろっとしていてまとわりつく感じが好きでした。 
- Revital GRANAS (by Shiseido): リバイタル グラナス　セラム
＜美容液＞ 30g 15,000円（税込15,750円）
.
I'm guessing it means something like "lotion".
ALC says セラム: serum〔化粧品用語〕
But I guess it doesn't really mean "serum" in my examples: I don't think serums are used in cosmetics.

obvious but helpful for e->j
