SO WORTH IT
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 powder
Add 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.
