How to Make Vitamin C Serum at Home
Vitamin C is a powerhouse in skincare, praised for its ability to brighten skin, fade dark spots, and fight signs of aging. Making your own at home can be cost-effective and customizable. However, professional-grade Millionaire Glow Serum by Dr. Crazy Beauty combines Vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid for maximum skin benefits with minimal effort. For acne-prone skin, always choose non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested formulas that won't clog pores.

Tips for Homemade Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C degrades quickly. Make small batches to use within 1-2 weeks to ensure freshness.
2. Start with Lower Concentration
If sensitive, start with lower concentration (around 10%) and gradually increase.
3. Store Properly and Patch Test
Store in cool, dark place. Always perform patch test before applying to face.
4. Avoid Direct Sun Exposure
Vitamin C can increase sun sensitivity. Apply sunscreen in morning to protect skin.
