I've tried numerous different toners, serums, but every time I do, I get pimples and my skin gets worse. I've been trying for months. Recently, I read someone's feedback and began applying litlexttra rice berry vitamin c face serum. It's working well, and I don't have pimples issues anymore. My skin looks better than ever. Sometimes, I also use a besan face pack, which makes it glow even more.

I’m glad you found something that works for you. Skin issues can be so frustrating

[@TiwariSoumya216]

This is an amazing face serum; it helps to improve glowing skin, appearance, acne, dark circles, uneven skin tone, aging, blackheads, sun exposure. It is truly awesome. Five stars to the riceberry vitamin c serum from my experience.

[@nails4sanam]

Hi yes! It does work up to great extent! I have hormonal acne and I have lot of acne scars which just don't go away until 6 months or more once I get acne, so I had rose water and I just crushed vitamin c tablet and added to rose water ( 2 tbsp rose water + 1/8 tsp of vitamin c tablet crushed powder+ 3-4 drops of glycerine) and I filled up in a small spray bottle. I just spray as toner after I wash my face. And then gently massage it and let it dry and apply moisturizer and I have noticed scars are fading faster and I m not getting any new acne so far. So it's does work! And it's very inexpensive too and natural!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@syedakazmi6037]

nails4sanam : which vitamin C tablets u used ??

[@dlmflorida5875]

I am glad I found your channel! Some of the DiY mixes are so involved. I am trying to stay simple with my skin due to my age (59) and my rosacea problem. These recipes look so great.

[@TheRawBabe]

You should add some glycerin to extend the shelf life. Otherwise, it has to be used up right away due to the nature of vitamin C.

[@AlexaLikes]

My mom actually uses glycerin some times, minus the aloe. I love that you can just tweak it to add a little something extra depending on what you feel your skin needs. That's the fun with DIY. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

[@MegaAguamarina]

DIY Vitamin C Serum and rose water is the best to use on your skin because using rose water can help in reducing the redness from irritated or over-heated skin, also prevent acne and pimples.Using this at night It helps clear all impurities that your face has collected through the day. I love ♥♥♥ this serum and its cheap to make great review Alexa! :)

[@BeautyLoverShaa]

I've never tried a skin serum but i want to. Definitely going to try this. Thanks for the DIY never thought it would be so easy to make!

[@AllisonSarah-r9b]

Tested and trusted, this is the best ever❤thank u

[@songbirdlove86]

You can get vitamin C gel filled caplets, cut the end off and apply the gel straight onto your skin. Use it Overnight. Not during the day. My mom used to do this.

[@AlexaLikes]

Good point, I didn't mention that in the video. Use the dropper to dampen a cotton pad then apply to the face with light, upward strokes. If you go for a different recipe/variation that makes the serum have a thicker consistency (example: using glycerin... etc) then you could apply it with hands/fingers.

[@AlexaLikes]

Yup, that's why it's best to make it little by little so that you avoid that from happening.

[@nalinimaraj9858]

Thank God I found your video. I hate glycerin and was wondering if the serum would be as effective if I left the glycerin out. I'm making it your way next time. Love your video as it was informative and straightforward.

[@AlexaLikes]

Thanks so much. This doesn't remain effective for a long time. It's unstable, so you're best bet is small batches, unfortunately.

[@EllieSmtl]

Ah making it with rose water seems so ingenious! I tried and tried to make it work with glycerine but never managed to dissolve crystals and I actually react badly to glycerine. I'll give this a try. I used to use ascorbic acid powder to help me get rid of those post acne marks. Must wear SPF if doing this.

Greatings from Canada ;) Thank you so much for watching!!

[@rubyvernekar]

You are so pretty doll. Love your voice and skin. Please could you tell me if only this serum is the secret for ur flawless face??

[@AlexaLikes]

No problem, you can definitely switch up the recipe. Like I mentioned, there are tons of different variations, so it really depends on what type of texture you prefer or what type of care your skin needs.

[@Ladyhope27]

Awesome!!! I was actually just reading about making my own, the other day! thank you :)

[@shantimarie2754]

There is a diy skin care company that sells the powered vitamin C which dissolves very fast.

[@AlexaLikes]

Oh sweet! I'm glad that exists now

[@danaya_7942]

what is the substitute for rose water? can I use vitamin c tablet? thanks for information

[@xitsalmostthedeadlinex8080]

Nice simple recipe.

[@AlexaLikes]

Yes, too bad vitamin c doesn't stay stable for long but it does wonders!!

[@samiaayesha7895]

will that b iky to use chew-able vitamin c tablet/ orange color vitamin C powder insted of white powder??? will it give the same benefit? plz let me know.............

[@rosalinegurung6283]

Don't use pink vitamin c tablet use white salon tablet it's cheap and best. Vitamin powder is very expensive. 😊

[@NeishaMUA]

Hi, I also make my own. Try adding aloe gel and vegan glycerin, it makes it thicker and hydrating. ;)

[@lholt84]

How long have you been doing this for? How has it worked for you?

[@deliaaguirre4547]

So helpful thanks 🌸🌸

[@nalinimaraj9858]

I know the serum is made with distilled water. Is this distilled water the same water you use in your car ? I heard the ph could be wrong if you use rose water. Please tell me what you think.

[@AleshaaRees]

+Nalini Maraj yes its the same you use in the car

[@shieladhee4900]

can use this on hand and legs

[@erikagasser8643]

Wow you use it?

[@krishaniwijesinghe2786]

Is it compulsory to use rose water ??

[@AlexaLikes]

No, but it's probably better to replace it with something else that offers soothing benefits.

[@krishaniwijesinghe2786]

Alexa Likes ok thanks dr

[@rinate4048]

Great vid! What kind of vitmic c do u use and where did you buy it? Thank you so much!

[@daveofficial27]

yes you can also make diy vitamin c for yourself....that i have one..

[@sophiekoutles6877]

hi tried to make the serum but just realised i bought the vitamin c powder with calcium though it does say pure 100% vitamin C. is this still ok to use. Also it was grainy. thanks

[@smartcookingwithfashions5331]

Super

[@Deschamsify]

Can I just crush a regular vitamin C with water or mix it w lotion?

[@dianenaidoo7668]

Please advice , can u use vitamin c , buffered, n also is the powder white or does it change into a orange colour .

[@AlexaLikes]

I've never really notice it turn orange since I mix it in a dark bottle to keep the light out, the powder is just white. When I used this, I would make and use this, I would use it to completion because the potency diminishes after. I hope that helps

[@Chrixxyland]

Can I use witch hazel water instead of rose water?

[@1upma]

Hi.. Doesn't the iron content in the rose water react with vit c?? Mine turned brown..

[@catmo59]

upma Dhingra it only last 7 days on a dark bottle and refrigerated. If it turned brown it was old and bad

[@jazzyp12345o]

and does it get recked after a while or no?

[@lolabword]

Thanks! :D

[@catmo59]

I thought seems had an oil base.

[@jazzyp12345o]

when did you start seen a difference?

[@anitasapra]

Do u notice a gritty/grainy consistency?

[@lolabword]

How do you apply this?

[@mingjxu92]

I also live in montreal, where did you get your vitamin c? O.O

[@AlexaLikes]

The pharmacies or Jean coutu

[@sheyc8559]

Where do you find Rose Water?

[@AlexaLikes]

I'm sorry this is so late, but if anyone else has the same question, the grocery store. I went to a middle eastern one and found it there.

[@morganezi]

too much water ...you should add more vitamin c

[@totakay1]

What is DIY stand fo

[@moo209]

This DIY most likely has the wrong pH.

[@stickapot3623]

Can't just use regular vitamin c. You need l-ascorbic acid or it will not absorb into the sin deeply. You need to run a pH test you need to stabilize the vitamin C.... SMH

[@CocoaBananas23]

People aint got sense, you should read some of the questions in the comments. Whats so hard buying an actual vitamin c serum? They dont cost alot at all

[@stickapot3623]

I can't even believe how 90% of these stupid videos are wrong and potentially harmful. I agree with u. I had set out to make my own serum, but found on some forum i could find a great one for 9 dollars on ebay.

[@fallenangel6021]

plus vitamin E in addition to he glycerin. this is kinda sad state of a video. js

[@AlexaLikes]

Do it yourself ;)

[@adamhobbes2348]

If you guys really wanna make this a better solution try adding turmeric powder in it as well

[@AlexaLikes]

Interesting. I've never tried. I'll have to look into it.
