I make my own vitamin C serum with this stuff and it is so good for my skin. Vitamin C is involved it the stimulation and production of collagen in the skin and you can not get enough of it in the right places through diet alone. Buying high quality, designer C serum is always an option, but, it will cost you an arm and a leg and it will have preservatives in it and who knows what else? When you make your own, it is always fresh, extremely effective, you always know what is in it and it is so affordable you can use it all over if you wish. I make a fresh batch every 3 days and keep it in a dark spray bottle container. Vitamin C is extremely fragile and will turn quickly. If that happens you will actually be putting something on your skin that will CAUSE the very damage you are intending to prevent and reverse in the first place. So keep it fresh, never trust products that have vitamin C added unless they are costly and have a reputation for being good quality. Vitamin C is quite a buzz word for advertisers and marketers of products but does absolutely no good for your skin if it is not preserved properly and packaged correctly. Vitamin C serum needs to be made with purified water if you are using water as the base. Some other options are witch hazel or rose water. You can also add a drop or two of glycerin to give it a little slip and spread-ability. Always store it in an air tight container to prevent oxidation and make sure the container is a dark glass or plastic to protect it from light. Depending on how strong you want it the following guide will give you the measurements for the right formula for your needs or tolerance. 5% serum - 1/4 tsp Powder to 4 & 3/4 tsp base 10% serum - 1/4 tsp powder to 2 & 1/4 tsp base 15% serum - 1/4 tsp powder to 2 & 1/8 tsp base 20% serum - 1/4 tsp powder to 1 tsp base I jumped right into the 20% strength right away twice a day. It was a bit strong at first. Stings a little but I wanted maximum results right away. My skin responded the very first day. I woke up with brighter skin, tighter pores and a smoother feel to the touch. My skin was glowing! It keeps getting better but now I only use it every other morning as I now use Retin A at night. The spray bottle makes it easy to spray on my tummy, bum and thighs. If you use a dermaroller for stretch marks, cellulite or scars anywhere on the body, vitamin C serum is a must to aid in the repairing process. I love how the backs of my thighs are tightening up and this stuff is helping. Don't forget the under arms. I used to have issues with under arm odor even if I was freshly showered. I learned that this is a p.h. issue and as soon as I started squirting a little serum under my arms every morning it went away. I recommend a weaker strength for this so you don't sting your pits! I love this stuff. I wish I would have known of the benefits for use on skin years ago.
