I recently began taking liposomal vitamin C internally (brand is Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C by LivOn Labs if anyone is interested). Because the vitamin C has been treated to be encapsulated in phospholipids, it's supposed to orders of magnitude more bioavailable than regular vitamin C. (I'm not here to defend it, only to share my personal experience in case it might interest others, so if you're interested in the science of it, please research it). At any rate, I've been hearing for several years about lipid encapsulation for increased bioavailable delivery of drugs and other substances, and probably many of us have, as well.
Anyways, taking the Lypo-spheric C got me thinking...what about putting the liposomal C on skin? Wouldn't that be orders of magnitude more bioavailable to skin, too?
After looking at the ingredients in the Lypospheric C I decided I didn't want to put it on my face (it has ethyl alcohol and some other stuff in it), so I started doing some research to see if there was a brand out there I could put on my face.
That led me to this website with for cancer patients with a DIY recipe for making liposomal C.
http://www.pdazzler.com/archives/62
I followed the instructions to the letter except I doubled the amount of ascorbic acid and I left out the soda because I figured I needed high pH for skin. They say use the soda to cut the pH for taking large doses internally (which is why the recipe is on a site for cancer patients). I also let the ultrasonic go for over 10 cycles (about a half hour).
Bottom line is I'm VERY, VERY, VERY happy with this serum. It's quite thin, but it soaks in divinely. There's very little stickiness to it (like there typically is with water-based C serums), although there's a teeeeeeny bit of tackiness left after about five minutes. It leaves my skin moisturized, although for face I moisturize over it after it soaks in. It's cheap enough to use all over your body every day. The only downside is making it, which is really no more problematic than making any other C serum I've tried or seen on here. I sat and watched TV while the ultrasonic was running.
AND you can take it internally. 
I've only used it a couple of times and my skin already has that "C glow". It looks like the little bit of inflammation I've had for years across the bridge of my nose is already lessened. Unless something drastically wrong develops I've just found a new staple HG product of my regimen. I'm truly pleased, and thought some of you might be interested, too.
If any bad effects develop, I'll update. |

 ing question. Is the ultrasonic like a jewelry cleaner?
Oops, I just clicked on Harbor Freight, and yes it is a jewelry cleaner. |

| Hi Yubs... Just wondering if you are still using the lipsomal vitamin C recipe? |
