ASCORBIC ACID RECIPE INSPIRATION
Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
10ml hyaluronic acid
tsp Vitamin C (you need very little!)
10ml distilled water
20 ml bottle
This serum is designed for a single use. Please make a fresh batch every time you want to apply it.
Dissolve the vitamin C into the water by shaking it up in the bottle, add the hyaluronic acid (it is already a 1% dilution so no need to further dilute). Using this serum once a week should be sufficient. After using the serum follow up by applying an oil based serum or a few drops of squalane on top to seal in the moisture. The Vitamin C serum might sting a little a first but should go away. View more of our luxury serums on our blog.
