help! I bought a container of Lysorbic Acid (and a bottle of propylene glycol) to make Vit C serum, and it made me break out. Any suggestions on other uses for these products?
I wonder... any chance it was the propylene glycol that made me break out, not the C?  |

You didn't mention if you used water. Here is 'carekate's' recipe. Perhaps yours was too strong.
HTH...Kassy
• 1/4 teaspoon of Lysorbic Acid (Vit-C) powder or crysals
• 5 ml distilled water
• 5 ml of propylene glycol (glycerin can be used instead, but I'd only recommend it for those with dry skin!)
• small amber or dark blue glass bottle
Put all of the ingredients in the little blue or amber bottle (need to wash it out thoroughly each time before mixing a new batch), replace cap/lid, and shake vigorously then let sit for a couple of hours, coming back to shake the bottle again every hour or so because it can take a little while for the Vit-C to solubulize.

Now that I have been learning about propylene glycol, I have noticed it listed on the ingredient lists of lots of products that I already use. Perhaps you could check your own stockpile of products that you use successfully and see if it is in any of them. That would help, to some degree, answer your question!! Just a thought.... |

Where did you find a container of Lysobic Acid? I've looked and looked and the closest I've found is l-ascorbic acid.  |

That recipe was copied from 'carekates' post. The L-Ascorbic Acid is the one you want. |

| and that's what I have (l-ascorbic). I must have just typed it incorrectly (or copied it incorrectly) |
