Product Description
Vitamin C: The Antioxidant Powerhouse
Free radicals from pollution, smoke, UV rays and other external aggressors are around us all the time. They create an inflammatory response in the skin that results in dullness, wrinkles, dark spots and uneven texture and tone. Vitamin C protects against oxidative stress by donating electrons to neutralize offending free radicals.
Benefits of Topical Vitamin C Include:
- Brighter, more youthful skin - Topical vitamin C powder increases collagen and restores skin elasticity. It softens fine lines and wrinkles, reverses sun damage and reduces visible discoloration
- Reduced inflammation and redness - Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant. It prevents and reduces inflammation associated with free radicals
- Diminishes the appearance of scars and skin imperfections - Vitamin C can make scars smaller and less visible and improves the appearance of blotchy, uneven skin
When it comes to Vitamin C - Fresh is Best
Water based vitamin C products such as lotions and serums are highly unstable and oxidize quickly. Oxidized vitamin C is ineffective and can irritate and damage the skin. Commercial skincare brands use a number of derivatives to try to prolong their vitamin C products shelf-life, resulting in expensive products with varying degrees of efficacy.
Mixing your own vitamin C products allows you to harness the full power of topical vitamin C at a fraction of the cost of commercial products.
Why choose Bos Essentials Vitamin C Powder?
The majority of vitamin C powders on the market are too grainy to dissolve properly in water and recrystallize when applied to the skin. This can clog pores and prevent absorption. Bos Essentials vitamin C powder is specifically formulated for cosmetic use. It is an ultra fine powder that dissolves instantly in water allowing you to create luxurious serums that penetrate and absorb into the skin.

- 4 tablespoons of water
- Between ½ and 2 tablespoons Bos Essentials Vitamin C Powder (for a 5-20% Vitamin C solution)
- A pinch of ferulic acid powder dissolved in an alcohol base (optional)
- ½ teaspoon Bos Essentials Hyaluronic Acid Powder
Instructions:
In an airtight container, mix Bos Essentials vitamin C powder and ferulic acid powder (optional) to water and allow to dissolve. Add Bos Essentials Hyaluronic Acid powder, seal container, shake and refrigerate until gelled. Keep serum refrigerated and use within two weeks.

I used this in conjunction with the Bos Essentials hyaluronic acid powder in a recipe that I found on that listing which I am copying here:
1 tbsp Bos Essentials vitamin c powder
4 tbsp water
A pinch of baking soda (optional – to raise the PH)
1-2 drops ferulic acid powder that has been dissolved in an alcohol base (I use vodka) (optional but good to help stabilize vitamin c)
A small squirt of glycerin (optional)
½ tsp Bos Essentials hyaluronic acid powder
What you do is you add the vitamin c powder to the water, then you add the ferulic acid powder paste and the glycerin. When all of these ingredients are fully incorporated, add the hyaluronic acid powder, shake it and put it in the refrigerator overnight to gel (hyaluronic acid will make the mixture grainy at first which is why you add it last). And voila! A cheap, effective anti-aging serum that’s better than anything you can buy at the store. This makes about a 10% vitamin c solution so feel free to add more vitamin c as your skin builds up tolerance to it. Attached are a few pictures so you can see the finished product.

Cons:
1.to save money by making diy serum, you have to get the whole set to start. Vit c powder+ ferulic acid powder+ HA powder+ optional vitamin e oil. That will cost 50-80 bucks. HA powder is a must (trust me I made my first batch w/o HA powder and it was so runny), vitamin e oil and ferulic acid powder are optional but since it is DIY, I think I’d better add those boosters to raise the maximum DIY power.
3. Short shelf life. It is recommended to use the diy serum within 2 weeks. Can you really use all 2oz serum in 2 weeks? Well I can’t even though I use it for my body too. If you are using it for only face, make a smaller portion like 1 oz or so. Back to money saving story, if you can’t use all the serum and have to make it every 2 weeks, is it really money saving as you thought?
2. I have experience with 20% vitamin c serum but Bos DIY version of 20% stings!!! I went down to 10% but it still gives me those tingling sensation, somewhat tolerable though. If you get a scratch or acne, this is not for you. Also stings on eyes as well.
3. Sour on lips. You can taste sour vitamin c on lips.
4. Sticky. I use it for my face and body, but super sticky that you might want to use less HA powder…? But then it would be runny. Anyway, some light non-oily body lotion would be helpful.
I think I will continue to use it if this really works, because I already got what I needed, but do your math and read reviews and think about other facts than money saving.
