You probably already know this but I've been formulating my own VC serums for a very long time. Just recently I started making one with just two ingredients:

- Squalane (QRx's 2-oz. with vit E)
- 100% pure THDA oil (1/4-oz.)

I buy the THDA from eBay (sold in 1/4-ounce vial) and then add that to 1 ounce of the squalane oil in a separate amber glass dropper bottle. Makes about a 20% concentration of VC. Mix and it's ready for use. Very stable. I use one drop for my face and another drop for my neck/dec. It helps to apply it on damp skin or with damp hands. That will help make it easier to spread all over the skin and add moisture while applying it, too. Do not use too much or else you'll feel oily. This VC 'serum' is compatible with nearly everything else in my skin care routine. I love it.

Well, that wouldn't be too complicated. I'll have to think about it. I don't really do ebay anymore. Any other source recommendations?

If you decide to make that THDA serum then add the THDA first to an empty amber-glass dropper bottle and then top it off to the low-shoulder of the bottle with the squalane oil. Mix it well by inverting the bottle several times. Shaking it won't mix it very well. Once it's mixed you won't need to mix it again.

Ok, thanks so much.
