How much of each is needed of vit. c, hyaluronic acid, vit. e, and maybe distilled water and glycerin to arrive at the recommended 20% vit. c and ph7?

I don't know. I put a pinch of vit C powder in my hand and add four or so water from faucet, mix and apply. I don't know the concentration but my skin looks great. I have mixed it with distilled water but it oxidizes very fast and have read when it does is bad for skin, so now mix it every day!

L ascorbic acid needs to be at ph 3.5 or lower in order to penetrate skin, also you would need much more hyaluronic acid than is good for the skin to bring the ph up to 7.

1/4 tsp of vit C, a 1/2 tsp glycerin and 1/2 tsp of water is what I use and have read on-line. I love it! I do see a difference in my skin texture. Good luck

I wish I could answer that, but I don't check it. I just went by using 20% and that is what I use. My face doesn't get red or irritated, so I thought I was good. Good luck

A couple of websites says it's 5% acetic acid, which is what you find in your local grocery store. Seems the 20% stuff is way more expensive and hard to find.

Make your own Hyaluronic acid serum * Pour 1/2 ounce of distilled water in a small glass container, preferably the one you will use to dispense your serum. A 1/2 ounce or 1-ounce glass pump bottle is ideal. * Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid powder into the water. (NOTE: the powder and water will not incorporate right away). * Cover and leave the mixture to set for 4-8 hours, overnight if possible, in a cool, dry place. * After setting up, the mixture should become a gel. * Once the mixture is set, add preservative (Germaben or your choice, as long as it's safe for water-based cosmetic mixtures) and mix well. * Use this serum twice daily by spreading a small amount (dime size or smaller) over your face and neck, after you cleanse and before you moisturize. This recipe probably will last for a couple of weeks.

I believe 8-10%. None of the other C products of Serious Skin Care have this much

You will have to look at the box label. The bottle label does not list percentages. There are only two active ingredients: Vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic acid. I take other sources of hyaluronic acid, one being pure hyaluronic acid in liquid form that is dropped under the tongue.

My bottle reads, first to last " Hyaluronic acid, distilled water, silver citrate, citric acid" . Not exactly pure, certainly diluted, and why silver citrate?

The recommendation is 2 capsules per day. EACH capsule contains: 9 mg sodium; 100 mg Hyaluronic Acid and 900 mg MSM. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure, I will check when I get ho me. I read (on here as a matter of fact) to also take Hyaluronic acid along with the Collagen.

20% vitamin C is a good percentage to use verses 15%. I use Vitamin E separate, I take an oral E. However you can puncture the vitamin E capsule and mix it in with your C and use it that way. You may not always need Vitamin E, to much and it clogs my skin. I also saw a difference quicker using the 20% vitamin C than using a lower percentage. Remember that every ones skin is not alike. Age, life style etc. had a lot to do with how our skin uses these items. Good Luck.

I have not found a product yet that discloses the percentage of the main ingredients we are looking for. I wonder why? We should know how much vitamin A, C, E. in skin care products we would like to use.

Yes--like the others said. I would just add that I have found a 1% solution to be highly effective (1 gram hyaluronic acid in 99 grams distilled water). Yay! Because this stuff is relatively expensive... Of course, you need to have a sensitive enough scale to accurately weigh the ingredients. Good luck!
