Making your own will save money because many products on the market are extremely expensive because vitamin C is unstable and little amount of ascorbic acid. Stay away from products that in clear containers that destroy the effectiveness and the serum/lotion/cream that are tinted because you cannot tell if your skin care product was oxidized. However, vitamin C does not work on everyone but newer vitamin C derivatives still have anti-aging benefits. Always perform a batch test because vitamin C can be irritating to the skin.

***Apply the serum over the face and gently pat around the eyes but makes sure to do a patch test on the wrist to see you the serum stings/irritating. If so then use less vitamin C powder to mix weekly.

Recipe to make a weekly vitamin C serum that is more stable and less expensive:
-~$5 L-Ascorbic Acid Powder 1/4 tsp (Store in a cool and dry place. Do not store this in the bathroom cabinet because the moisture from taking showers can ruin the powder.) http://www.skinactives.com/Ascorbic-Acid-Vitamin-C.html or http://purebulk.com/l-ascorbic-acid-vitamin-c
-~$5 Glycerin 1 tsp but you can adjust this amount if it’s too sticky for your skin or can use personal lubricant (KY Jelly) or Monistat Chafing Relief Gel http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_product_detail.jsp?skuId=483707&productId=483707&WT.mc_id=Shopping_Feed_Products_Google_Free_Listing
-*** This is optional because some people can break-out. I have acne prone skin and the vitamin E helps increase sunscreen efficacy with no break-outs. ~$6 Vitamin E Oil 2-5 drops or pierce a capsule to squeeze the vitamin E oil out http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=16981&catid=183177&aid=337953&aparam=nature_s_bounty_natural_&CAWELAID=61264876
-~$3 Distilled Water 1 tsp at any drugstore like Rite Aid or CVS
– Measuring spoon
– Stirring spoon
– Cup
– Sealable non-clear container or amber/blue glass bottle. You can ask your local pharmacy for a empty medicine bottle they use to dispense liquid medicine. I’m sure they will provide it for free.
