This recipe features a 10% solution of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) that can be used as a serum or incorporated into various skincare formulations. Ascorbic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that offers a range of skin benefits.
When applied topically, Ascorbic Acid helps to brighten the complexion, reduce hyperpigmentation, and promote a more even skin tone. It also aids in collagen synthesis, which can improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
To use the solution as a serum, apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and gently massage it in. Allow it to absorb fully before following with moisturizer or sunscreen. When incorporating it into skincare formulations, ensure proper measuring and mixing to maintain the desired concentration. Store the solution in a cool, dark place to prevent oxidation and preserve its effectiveness. Regular use will help reveal a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion.
To make a 5% solution just halve the Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid powder (2.5g)
To make a 2% solution use 1g Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid powder
