Hi Sophie. I absolutely love you and love your videos. I am about to make this serum right now. I was just wandering have you ever made a serum with hyaluronic acid? If so, please do a video on it. If not, is there a reason why one shouldn't diy it? Thank you!

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Good idea Shana - I'll do some research and work on a video!

[@sapnarahim9311]

Great job

[@MrPatrick891]

Dear Sophie, I really like that recipe. Do you think it is too much when I put on a light glycolic acid moisturiser for the night and the vitamin c serum for the day? All the best. Patrick

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Not too much at all!

[@dollyb9705]

Hi Sophie, Thanks for the great videos! .Can I add other vitamins to the serum to make it multi functional?. Thanks. x

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

You could add a little Vitamin E oil

[@douglaslee8468]

[@SuperFookie]

[@beenachaudhary3419]

[@blossom9143]

Thank u stickpot jst seen this video was gona rush out n get all this but now... 😕😕😕I'm so glad I read ur comments b4 hand... ☺ now cautious ness about whole thing has stopped me...

[@Anna-346]

What about vitamin C pills?

[@doudadeddi]

Hi Sophie, thanks a lot for your beautiful videos ...I have a request regarding a DIY for Vitamin C L Asorbic Acid and the Hyuoloronic Acid Combo ....can you give an idea and the exact measurement for a 5% potency as a start for this DUO ...For couple weeks ago ...am using a DIY: Vitamin C+Glycerin+ Vitamin E Waiting patiently your reply

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

+houda el hamdi Great idea - will work on this.

[@metheangelsubba6229]

hello sophie i cannot find distilled water . i can inly find deionized distilled water can i used something else or can u suggest me distilled water

[@agnisila9237]

hi Sophie, I just made this vitamin C using frankincense hydrosal instead of distilled water. It is ok right? Rest of the ingredient is as you have mentioned. The serum has a very light consistency , like water actually! and gets absorbed by the face very very fast without leaving any moisture. It feels more like a toner? Is it how its suppose to be?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Sounds LOVELY Agni!

[@stickapot3623]

Oh really, is that a fact? Is the pH of of these two ingredients compatible? Did you check? LMAO

[@DeniceDuff]

are you being mean or light hearted and supportive? All women are juts trying to do our best to fight aging and not spent too much money - Im not sure who you are so mad at....?

[@sherrishoots35mm]

Well I'm obsessed w/ Mario Badescu's Vitamin C Serum so this is all good to hear. 🍊

[@forouzan25]

Hi Sophie, Is iT possible to add HA to your vitamin c serum ? I make the Hyaluronic acid myself.. Maybe use it instead of aloe? If so.. When should I add the HA? Thank you so much for your videos!!

[@sabrinaanirbas5716]

its ok im using vitamin c tablet ?

[@CJsellsSoCal]

Could the magnesium ascorbyl phosphate powder from your other recipe be used for this too?

[@RiversShorts39]

In your video on Vitamin C Serum from 2013, you have different measurements for the ingredients. In this video, it's 6tsp H2O and 1tsp Aloe. In the 2013 video you recommend 4tsp H2O and 2tsp Aloe. Which one is right and was it updated because of the pH?

[@bijuk.ssivan5903]

loved your video

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

THANK YOU!!

[@ΠαναγιωτηςΚονιδαρης]

hello Sophie , i am Isidora from Hellas and i would like to ask you if i can add one drop of essential oil levander because i love the aroma and also is a very good preservative. Also i would love the idea of hyaluronic acid ,vit c, vit e 5% video please do one.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Yes you can add lavender. And yes I will do one with hyaluronic acid - great idea.

[@drms82]

Hi Sophie, need your advice, can I make a Vit C Serum with argan oil, rosehip seed oil, and sweet almond oil mixed with vit C powder(ascorbic acid bought from Amazon)? Would it mix well and would it be potent enough to serve the purpose. Please help me. Love your videos BTW. Thanks.

[@rosatampos5314]

Must use distelled water? Where can buy it?

[@Avagardner2608]

I thought that too much vit C is increasing oxidation what makes problems

[@bfm-ll5pq]

my dear how can I order this brand of ascorbic acid?

[@metheangelsubba6229]

can i add rosewater instead of distill water

[@korinnemcchesney4545]

Good morning Sophie!! How do I know I'm getting the real vitamin C powder and zinc oxide on Amazon that you link. I've read so many reviews on products saying that they aren't the real thing? I need to make an order but now am afraid to. HELP!! THANKS!! Just used my DIY peppermint cleanser of yours-love it!! It's my favorite part of waking up!!

[@Adventures-with-Sisters]

Add vitamin e and some Ferulic acid and bam I make my own too

[@lelykatlya3688]

can i use rose water..?

[@aqsaarfan4012]

Can i use tbis home made serum.after derma roller???

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Yes!

[@lu2517]

Sophie, Would be okay to do 3 gel and 4 distilled water to achieve a thicker solution? Kind Regards

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Absolutely

[@kellyjesse1122]

What is the main reason using aloe Vera gel?

[@leanture3685]

cuz aloe vera gel doesnt contain or attract germas and bacteria that desotry the vict c. If you use aloe vera gel, your serum will alst longer and also it will have a thicker more serum consitency. You can also use snail gel wich has even mroe beneifits and it contains hylauronic acid, collagen, vitaminc, minerals.....

[@kellyjesse1122]

Thank you.

[@mb-rw2dv]

i cant find this brand of ascorbic acid please do help

[@КаримаЕскараева]

can i use vitamine c in ampulas because i couldnt find powder.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Sure, just pull them apart, but I think you can definitely find the powder online!!

[@maxinef6654]

Can the vitamin C powder be mixed with a carrier oil if you do not have aloe vera gel?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

+Maxine F sorry this took so long for me to get back to you. It won't disperse in oil. So distilled water is better.

[@catmo59]

Glycerine can be added after the water has dissolved the powder

[@nehalsaxena8598]

Hi Sophie , just want to ask , can I reverse signs of aging naturally ? I am just 32 but I look like 35 and it's really embracing , my skin is losing its elasticity very fast , please help. Waiting for your reply 😊.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

+Nehal Saxena Yes - but it's holistic. Not just skin care! You need to address your diet, fitness, stress - EVERYTHING! And then take the natural, powerful skin care tips I give you to help you along the way.

[@uzmasajjad8883]

Why many people are giving negative comments .....I wonder

[@jelenalela2409]

+Stickapot Do you thing that L-ascorbic acid serums are just good enough without support of vit e and ferulic acid? If not, do You recomend one that is not expencive?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I love Mad Hippie's Vitamin C - Have you looked into this yet?

[@stickapot3623]

I would get serum with Vitamin E and ferulic acid. Here is a great one on Ebay that I buy. www.ebay.com/itm/281125613385?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I have tested the pH and it is spot on at 3.5 you can also buy pH strips on ebay for one dollar for 100 strips

[@jelenalela2409]

+Stickapot I have not find any information about manufacturer of that serum. I am a bit sceptical...and 30% solution is no longer available ... What do You think about Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate instead of L-ascorbic acid..is it worth it?

[@jelenalela2409]

+Sophie Uliano No, I did not...I first have to find out site that ships those to Europe... ;).I saw on KZbin great reviews...

[@stickapot3623]

hi there are about 7 different types of ascorbic acid. They all have different pH levels which means they have different compatiblities with different ingredients. The most effective ascorbic acid is L-ascorbic acid and it should be used only in a serum with only a few other ingredients. I buy the one I sent you from Ebay and tested it with its pH. BUt if you dont feel good about that you can buy from a company in Arizona, US called skin actives. They have a great one that is only a couple dollars more. I dont know where they ship to

[@বউশাশুড়িররেসেপি]

can any one tall me what can I do for my checks Whiteheads

[@goddess2youbish229]

Turmeric on ur face ...

[@laurahelene9118]

Do you know what % Vitamin C this would be?

[@mystory8105]

I think a quarter of a tea spoon is a low % because 1 and a half tea spoon is about 20%

[@uzmasajjad8883]

Can we use chewable vit c tablets instead of this powder??? Plz reply thank you

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

No, sadly. You need the Vitamin C powder!

[@airiplztelmewhenuwilgetres4631]

[@jfdjdjdklelellel8707]

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

No, you really need the vitamin C powder - Tablets contain additives that won't be wonderful for your DIY

[@rosalinegurung6283]

Don't take yellow once becoz it has sugar so buy white tablet and make serum 👍

[@tuhinamondal8317]

M 22 years old, and I have combination skin. can I use this serum everyday?

[@cerisekarpinski9697]

My aloe vera gel is green. Can I use it?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Sure! But go for an organic aloe next time you're buying :)

[@francesmatthews8420]

how cam I make serum with amla capsules

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Just pull the capsules apart!

[@neilpatrickramos1933]

can use a vit c tablet?

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

I'd stick to the powder!

[@jillcrum1]

How many mg of Vit C power does your product contain per tsp.? The Vitamin C power I purchased has 5000 mg/tsp and it is dietary vit C. I want to make sure I am using the same dosage so I don't make it too strong. Thanks Sophie, your're adorable

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

no - you need the powder. The pills don't dissolve.

[@knowledgehunter_]

I think I know that anchor. The guy who spoke at last. What's his name?

[@SidniOrchids]

Melanin, baby!!!

[@AleshaaRees]

remember 2 check the ph level as you dont wana burn yr skin its acid.

[@qashanguniverse1354]

what is the name of vitamin c ????

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

Ascorbic Acid

[@stickapot3623]

It's not just ascorbic acid, ITS L-ASCORBIC ACID. HUGE DIFFERENCE STOP MISINFORMING PEOPLE AND LEARN WHAT INSTEAD OF POSES AS AN EXPERT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT. makes me sick that you after all the comments here you dont even try and educate yourself. You are an old fool

[@stickapot3623]

NO, it is L-Ascorbic acid. There is a huge difference

[@geebullz9130]

Sophie, Which brand of L Ascorbic Acid is in your video? The link you provided leads to a different brand on Amazon and the item says Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

[@VelvetKitten4]

+Gee Bullz (EbonyG) The brand is ---->www.makingcosmetics.com.

[@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen]

+Gee Bullz (EbonyG) Ugh - why didn't I see this. It's the L'Ascorbic acid by Making Cosmetics.

[@dhodi123]

I just add the vitamin c powder to my moisturizer before applying ..like you showed in your old videos... that should be okay right?

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

+dhodi123 Of course it's ok. There just might be slightly less absorbed because it may not fully microscopiclly dissolve which isn't a problem whatsoever. So there is absolutely nothing wrong doing that. Just make sure it is pure 100% L-Ascorbic acid and don't get the powder wet and have it sealed to avoid humidity. If it turns yellow or orange then it's gone bad usually from moisture. That's all to know.

[@stickapot3623]

+WaterspoutsOfTheDeep NO you cannot JUST add l-ascorbic acid into a moisturizer. L-ascorbic acid is active at a pH of 3.5 and does NOT work at a higher pH level. Lotions pH levels are much higher. It will oxidize when combined with a lotion. Furthermore, if it is not at 3.5 or lower it can produce protease enzymes, which LEADS TO PREMATURE AGING. If you are going to add vitamin C to a moisturizer you need a more stable form of vitamin C such as Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate provided it is properly formulated with specific lipsomes and oligomers. Why don't you actually read true medical findings and reports and STOP giving people BAD advice which can destroy their skin and waste their money. I am so sick of people like you replying to people as if you are an authority on the subject and everything you say is in contrary to every single medical finding that exists on vitamin C. Start by learning the different types of Vitamin C, why they exist and how they react to different ingredients and for God sakes start using pH strips. SMH

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

Stickapot Oh please, if that was the case most any vitamin C consumed would become "oxidized." Where do you get this oxidized form isn't utilized anyways? Or that it is inert? Or that in the time it is applied it would be ineffective? You add l-ascorbic acid to baking soda dissolved in water and you get sodium ascorbate which the body uses also. Do you also realize how readily vitamin C is recycled in the body too? Hundreds of times. Especially since it is closer to it's preferred form L-dehydroascorbic acid DHAA in the skin as L-ascorbic acid. Also if you are going to be adding a C to a oil based product you'd want to start with BVC7 a stable oil soluble Vitamin C ester using a palmitic acid. Maybe take your own advice and think before you speak and look up on the actually biological function first.

[@stickapot3623]

+WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Every single time you type something more of your ignorance comes forth. You live in a world where you dismiss all basic chemistry and how how different chemical properties react to each other. Viable vitamin C products are stabilized to remain effective for a certain time span dependent on what it was formulated with in a product. Hard to make sense of anything you are saying "Where do you get this oxidized form isn't utilized anyways?" An oxymoron. If something is oxidized it DOESNT WORK, the word itself means that! You are the fool, that told this person to use L-ascorbic acid in a lotion. Which will never ever be effective and can cause damage. NOW you are saying to use an Ester C. NOT WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE, IS IT?!??! You have made blanket comments that you can just add l-ascorbic acid to lotions now you are trying to rescind that? Or what are you trying to say. Your bad/wrong information is muddled and a complete disservice to people trying to figure out DIYS. You never even consider pH levels. You are just another moron here, wasting peoples' time and money.

[@stickapot3623]

+WaterspoutsOfTheDeep and you cant just turn L-ascorbic acid into a viable ingredient for lotion by just adding baking soda!

[@ercellsomerville6271]

Can I use a lemon instead of Vit C powder?

I'm 20years old should I use this serum!! plz reply

[@Pearlangeldream]

Any age will do. The younger the better

[@stickapot3623]

There is a lot of WRONG information in this video! I find it annoying that people make these videos and have no idea what they are talking about. 1. DO NOT USE ascorbic acid, U NEED L-ascorbic acid for your serum. BIG DIFFERENCE. 2. The serum must be at a pH of 3.5 or less or it wont work. 3. Is Vitamin C at the same ph level as the aloe vera used in this serum? If not which ingredient is being cancelled out. You have no right to be spreading half information. U ARE NO EXPERT!

[@RolfCJ]

+Stickapot Because of your comments, I went to 'Making Cosmetics, Inc' website and found they have a recipe for making L-Ascorbic Acid Serum. Thank you for cautioning us!

[@stickapot3623]

You are so welcome. I am so happy you will get to make the right formula. I cannot believe how literally 90% of Hess vitamin C videos are completely wrong. Don't forget NOT to use metal to still the ingredients. :0)
