great for serums
I've been purchasing skin care products from MakingCosmetics for years - highly recommend! This vit c powder dissolves so easily in distilled water, and once dissolved, I add a couple of drops of vegetable glycerine and/or I break open a Vit E capsule and add that instead, or in addition to the glycerine. Makes a fresh, effective skin serum!

Better than Pre Made Serums..
Fine enough to work with, not overly large granularity. Like it bc you can add more to whatever base you're using, as your skin adjusts. Can't do that with the pre-made Serums, plus those seem to break me out.

Good stuff, but small quantity
Quality dtuff. But the very small quantity isn't worth the price. I have returned to using natural sources of Vit C.

Product Changed
I've used this product in the past for serums and never had issues. Now the consistency is off. It didn't blend well and the powder kept getting stuck in the funnel. It was almost as if moisture got into the packet. It wasn't loose powder, it was like pasty flour. This seller needs to do a quality check, especially since they don't allow returns on their products. Going to look elsewhere.
