I've been using a sample of the Vivier Vit C 10 serum and really like it. I'm wondering if others find their diy one compares to commercially made ones? Do you find you get the same effects?

Thanks Smile

I actually get better results with my DIY version. I can make frequent batches so oxidation is not a problem. I've used Cellex-C, SKinceuticals, Jan Marini, Jason and some others can't think of right now.

I like the DIY one better than those commercial ones I've used. The most important thing is it's cheap enough to use on the body. Very Happy

Thanks karmicarchitect and CK Smile

I think I had a problem with the PG in the Vivier C serum that I been using (sample) and was thinking about buying. So I will be giving the DIY route a go. Good to know you are happy with the results you're getting. And yes, it will allow me to use it more liberally!

Now, I hope I can make it successfully. I will be using glycerin. Maybe I'll try adding the pectin like Mary(?)uses.
