Hello! I was looking for a Vitamin C recipe and stumbled on EDS -- what a great resource! Unfortunately, it looks like there is no longer a link to Carekate's famous Vitamin C serum recipe, and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Would anyone care to point me in the right direction? I'm new to DIY and eager to get started! Thanks!

Welcome, b! The recipe thread has been temporarily removed, not sure when it'll be restored but have been assured by the mods that it will be.

All these DIY recipes are truly a great resource.

Until it's restore, you may want to check out http://www.makeupalley.com, a lot of her recipes have been published there.

I have the recipe written down as
1/4 teaspoon Lysorbic Acid
5 ml Filtered water
5ml Propylene Glycol (or glycerin instead if you have dry skin)

Put all ingredients in dark glass bottle, shake vigorously, let sit for a couple of hours (lid on) and shake bottle every hour for 2 hours.
I have made this many a time but now days am putting tamarind extract with it.

Hope this helps and if I am missing something out I am sure someone else will post.

I think if you go by the proportions of this formula, it will give a 10% serum.
