I am a devotee of Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum. The price varies from place to place but I usually spend about $28 for 1.02 oz. LOVE this stuff.

Try buying Mad Hippie from Pure Formulas or from Jet websites, great prices there.

@Bella Carro which NuFountain? I've tried two different ones and I felt they oxidized really quickly, even though I changed out their dropper to a pump. You used to be able to order it with a pump but they stopped doing that. I liked the fomula but just was not thrilled with how quickly it turned.

@HappyDaze, sorry I just saw this. I haven't used the NuFountain in about two years but I recall liking the 20% serum. I agree it it does oxidize fairly quickly but that is the nature of l-ascorbic acid. Can't remember where but I recently read of someone storing their C serum (any, not NuFountain in particular) in the fridge wrapped in tinfoil I just rec'd my ascorbic and ferulic from LotionCrafters. I plan to mix up a small amount, maybe 20 grams, in an HA serum. If that is a real pia then I'm going to give NuFountain a whirl again.

Dont get me wrong, I really like NCN's C but it's all going to oxidize very quickly. My current mindset is to get a good formula with that expectation and be happy to have it last thirty days. Might as well spend less $$ if I can. Hopefully, NuFountain's ingredient sourcing issues are behind them.
