Ultra Fine Cosmetic Grade Vitamin C Powder | DISSOLVES INSTANTLY IN WATER | Make fresh & effective Vitamin C serum | Vitamin C for Face, Body Skin Care

I use vitamin c powder to make my own cosmetic serums. Vitamin C is pretty much the best thing you can do for your skin, it increases collagen, reduces wrinkles and makes it look younger and brighter. Most vitamin c powders come in granular form which is really difficult to dissolve in water. Even most of the vitamin c powders that are marketed for cosmetic use are too grainy for proper absorption. This vitamin c powder really is an ultra fine powder. It absorbs instantly when mixed with water and creates facial serums that are smooth and effective.I used this in conjunction with the Bos Essentials hyaluronic acid powder in a recipe that I found on that listing which I am copying here:1 tbsp Bos Essentials vitamin c powder4 tbsp waterA pinch of baking soda (optional – to raise the PH)1-2 drops ferulic acid powder that has been dissolved in an alcohol base (I use vodka) (optional but good to help stabilize vitamin c)A small squirt of glycerin (optional)½ tsp Bos Essentials hyaluronic acid powderWhat you do is you add the vitamin c powder to the water, then you add the ferulic acid powder paste and the glycerin. When all of these ingredients are fully incorporated, add the hyaluronic acid powder, shake it and put it in the refrigerator overnight to gel (hyaluronic acid will make the mixture grainy at first which is why you add it last). And voila! A cheap, effective anti-aging serum that’s better than anything you can buy at the store. This makes about a 10% vitamin c solution so feel free to add more vitamin c as your skin builds up tolerance to it. Attached are a few pictures so you can see the finished product.

I've been using this for 3 weeks, yesterday when i looked in the mirror, i did i double take... IT'S WORKING, IT'S WORKING!Whenever i buy new products I'm optimistic at first, then after several weeks and no changes, I'm left disappointed. I'm so happy that I finally get the excitement of something actually working! My dull skin is brightening, sun spots are starting to disappear, tighter, smoother skin, even the hallows under my eyes seem to be thickening up. I always drop out too much, so I also use all over my hands, they are looking much younger. And I use on my neck and decollete, skin is much brighter and smoother.Recipe:*1 tablespoon vitamin c powder*4 tablespoons water*A few small drops of ferulic acid powder dissolved in an alcohol base. This is optional and will help stabilize the vitamin c and add additional antioxidant properties.*A small squirt of glycerin*½ tsp hyaluronic acid powderAdd the vitamin c, ferulic acid and glycerin to the water first and once everything else is dissolved, add the hyaluronic acid powder. This will make about a 10% vitamin c solution.It will chunk up at first. You must leave it in the fridge overnight to disolve and settle.I mix my serum in a small plastic container, then after it settles over night in the fridge, i transfer everything into an old, cleaned out, glass serum bottle with a dropper. I don't want to keep it in the plastic container and dip my fingers in and contaminate the serum. I leave my bottle in the fridge after every use.Based off the reciped I'm using, it makes about 2 weeks worth of serum when using a generous amount twice a day.I wear the serum alone during the day and a retinol moisture on top at night.This stuff is amazing! I'm so excited to see more improvement!Photos are from day one and after 3 weeks.

Pro: you can save moneyCons:1.to save money by making diy serum, you have to get the whole set to start. Vit c powder+ ferulic acid powder+ HA powder+ optional vitamin e oil. That will cost 50-80 bucks. HA powder is a must (trust me I made my first batch w/o HA powder and it was so runny), vitamin e oil and ferulic acid powder are optional but since it is DIY, I think I’d better add those boosters to raise the maximum DIY power.3. Short shelf life. It is recommended to use the diy serum within 2 weeks. Can you really use all 2oz serum in 2 weeks? Well I can’t even though I use it for my body too. If you are using it for only face, make a smaller portion like 1 oz or so. Back to money saving story, if you can’t use all the serum and have to make it every 2 weeks, is it really money saving as you thought?2. I have experience with 20% vitamin c serum but Bos DIY version of 20% stings!!! I went down to 10% but it still gives me those tingling sensation, somewhat tolerable though. If you get a scratch or acne, this is not for you. Also stings on eyes as well.3. Sour on lips. You can taste sour vitamin c on lips.4. Sticky. I use it for my face and body, but super sticky that you might want to use less HA powder…? But then it would be runny. Anyway, some light non-oily body lotion would be helpful.I think I will continue to use it if this really works, because I already got what I needed, but do your math and read reviews and think about other facts than money saving.

I think it’s great that people use this to create their own serums. But, I would like to point out that the ascorbic acid is most stable in it’s powdered form. The moment it is exposed to water or light, it begins to oxidize. Homemade serums also don’t last long. I don’t have a mini serum/makeup fridge and to be honest, I don’t want to walk out to my kitchen fridge every time I do my morning skincare routine. So I actually put a small amount of this vitamin C powder in my palm, mix with one of the serums I already use or drops of filtered water, and apply directly to my face! It works great and dissolves instantly. I don’t know if this would work well for those with sensitive skin (try it on the inside of your elbow to test first), but it works great for me and I know I’m getting the most potent form and the most benefit each time I use it!
