So I read this post over a week ago and thought I’d try it out. And wow just after a few days I’ve noticed a difference in my face. anyone else tried it?
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
I posted something similar a while back. Not got around to trying it yet. Mostly because I don’t know which powder to buy. The cheaper ones apparently don’t absorb very well. I was going to buy the Philosophy one but it’s kinda expensive.
What sort of difference did you notice?

An electrologist (probably one of the best currently practising) swears by VitC and MofM masks for his clients. And he clears whole faces of clients in one sitting (even transgender), so you can imagine how much care of their skin they need afterwards.

Vitmain C serum = good stuff
I noticed an instant radient glow. Even skin tones.
I brought the one from Holland and Barrett’s. The first day I used it I couldn’t get to sleep My face was all sticky and I could feel the grains of the powder on my face. then I started using hot water to dissolve the Vitamin C powder and it worked better
Holland and Barrett - Product details for Pure Vitamin C Powder
I’ve been using this for about 4 days now and my face looks lighter and the redness is disappearing. the surface of the skin is smooth and soft. Yikes! down fall is u may feel a tingling sensation on the skin and the uncomfortableness from the stickiness. If ur on the go then just use it at night time after toning and moisturizing. I’ve been using it twice a day.
I measure my ingredients with a baby feeding spoon. and its enough to cover my face and my legs.
first I add the Vitamin C powder then the Glycerin I brake the powder down with the spoon then add the hot water and continue to break the powder down until it dissolves into the water.

^ have you or anyone tried mixing it with moisturizing lotion? ... outcome?
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
I haven't tried it, but It leaves ur face with a shiny/sticky appearance. plus I make mine as I go along. It oxidizes quickly so u couldn't just add it to ur daily moisturizer and leave it. Its something u can either make daily or keep up2 a few days max.

^According to the Philosophy site you're supposed to mix a bit of powder to your moisturiser at the time of application (in your hand or whatever).

Sounds interesting. Any precautions while looking to buy vitamin c powder. Any special ingredients to look out for (that ensure it's effective)....or to watch out for that may be harmful?
How often should it be applied. What about applying citrus (lemon, for example, which contains vit c) to your face? Would that be less effective than the powder?
where to buy glycerin?
AND is this a daily routine?
THANKS XXX

Do you leave it on ALL NIGHT??/?

hmmm this is exactly what I what I was thinking ... mix in palm as needed. no fuss with glycerin.
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
any idea where I can order vit c powder from canada or United States? I have seen the philosophy one at sephora, but I'm sure I can buy one from a specialty store online!
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
u can get vit C powder n other DIY stuff from gardenofwisdom.com. their powder is very fine n mixes easily.
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
can also get it from amazon.
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
Vitamin C powder is same as vitamin c pills?
nope vitamin C pills r not the same as they contain binding agents.
So far I’ve only followed the same recipe as the poster mentioned. haven’t tried mixing the powder with my moisturizer but I imagine the powder wont dissolve properly and will leave the grains of the powder on my skin 
will try it out tonight and let u guys know!
Nadz - Yes u leave it on all night.
RV - I have very sensitive skin. and so far this seems to work ok for me apart from a lil tingling sensation at first which is normal…I couldn’t leave lemon on my skin for more then a few minutes so no its not really the same thing.
U should be able to buy pure vitamin C powder from any health shop

CE, how long do you leave it on for? And how often should this be applied? Once a week? Once a month? And what benefits have you noticed? Has it lightened daagh/spots for you or evened skin tone?
Today is my 5th day tht I've been using it. 3/5 days I've applied it twice a day. after toning and moisturizing I apply the serum to my face and leave it on all night/day. because of the added Glycerin I wouldn't recommend u wearing it in the daytime unless ur gonna be staying indoors as the glycerin leaves ur face sticky and sweaty looking (not a nice look).
My skin feels more smoother and has a fresh look to it (peachy like). the redness has reduced and I had this one mark quite noticeable tht I got from a spot a few weeks ago. It appears to be lighter.
definitely try it out if u have any skin discolouration.
has anyone else ever tried this method?
Re: Vitamin C Serum (Does wonders to ur skin)
