How many of us here are using a homemade Vitamin C serum?

How long did it take to notice any results?

I've been using my own serum for two nights...TWO nights and I think I notice a difference already. The first night I made my serum with glycerin and the next morning my pores looked enlarged. Weird.

The second night (last night) I used aloe vera gel instead of glycerin and skin looks brighter and a bit glowy. I noticed my skin was not as skiny/slick with oil by EOD today. And thankfully my pores look normal size again!

How long did it take you to notice any results?

It's hard to say after using pre-made C for years then switching to DIY the effect just continued for me! Very Happy

TooInvolved,
I have been using a DIY C serum for about two months. I did notice some initial brightening and some fading of hyper pigmentation caused by the sun. (However not sure if this is due to the C or Arbutin serum that I use).

Anyway, I mainly use it for prevention. Even if I can not see the changes, I know it helping to build collagen.

I did initially get some blackheads in strange places... but once I reduced the strength to 15% (was at 20%) and really massaged it in the blackheads stopped.

Hope that helps!
Emily
