I am making Carekates vitmain c serum
I have 25ml of water and 25ml of propolene glycol and I just added 20ml of vitamin c crystals.
I think this would be way too strong what should I do? |

If that's all you're using, then the Vit C portion is 35% which is higher than any thing I've heard of using. Many people start low, maybe 8-10% VitC, and see how that affects them. With that high a percentage of acid, you're going to burn your skin. |

You skin might not accept too much vitamin c at first, so begin at a low rate will be safe, and as you know, a large amount VCmight even cause damage to vulnerable or sensitive skin. |

How should I tone it down
What percentage should I make?
This will be my second batch can I make it stronger than 10%-12%? |
