I believe the ferulic acid helps stabilize it, but it will go bad. I get a good six weeks to two months out of of it, though. Here's how:Keep in fridgeDecant about a weeks worth into a smaller bottle you keep by your bed or something. The less you open the original bottle, the less it'll be exposed to oxygen.Also, use it liberally. On neck, décolleté, everywhere. Get your money's worth! It's so much cheaper (and stronger) than other brands of C, even if you have to buy it more often, it's still cost effective. Hope this helps!

The Label read Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). It does not show whether it is L-Ascorbic Acid or not.You should ask the seller to clarify if this is important.

Thanks for your question. Here at Belitae Organics we use a form of Vitamin C called STAY-C®50 that is considered gentle and stable and waits to convert into Ascorbic Acid once it is absorbed by the skin. Using the right form of Vitamin C on your acne prone skin can provide the benefits of an antioxidant that acts as a mild and natural anti-acne ingredient. Many other Vitamin C products use Ascorbic Acid in their formula and that is what can be an irritant and actually cause acne. Feel free to try Belitae and if you not happy, just let us know so we can fully refund your purchase!

Maybe the manufacturer can probably give more information about it. But no, this is not 20% Vitamin C as my skin is very sensitive. 20% will cause sensitivity to my skin and also I have to be watchful when i go under the sun. As the UV will cause mild burn on my skin. And thats why most of the people buying 20% higher percentage Vit C serum are advised to use high SPF. I love this Loressen Vitamin C because it is gentle to my skin without worrying about the effects caused by the sun.

TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum is an advanced formulation that uses Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate Vitamin C (SAP), which is a much more stable form of vitamin C than L-Ascorbic Acid, which is highly unstable. Because our SAP formulation is so much more stable and potent than the older L-Ascorbic serums, we are able to provide a guaranteed 2-year shelf life without adding any harsh preservatives.Our lab formulates fresh batches of our vitamin C serum every week. On average our bottles sit on the shelf for less than 7 days before being purchased and shipped. For this reason we offer a simple expiration time of, "2 Years from Date of Purchase", and "1 Year from Opening".

One thing to keep in mind is that vitamin C become ineffective within a short time after it is mixed with water. A vitamin C skincare product should not include water, unless it in its entirety is being used immediately after water is added. If you make 2 ounces of product with water and vitamin C included, and then just use a dab, what is left the 2 ounces will within minutes become ineffective as to its vitamin C content.

I would disagree with mixing these two at the same time - true, drug store retinols are not that strong as compared to Retin A by prescription, but why would you risk cancelling out the effects of these products that even when using the less costly version as here, still aren't that cheap? If you want to use them both at the same time, at least let one absorb for awhile (at least 30 minutes) before putting another product on. This Vitamin C is 20%, which is pretty strong, I would NOT use it at the same time as a retinol, at the least it could be ineffective, at the best cancel each other out.

Yes, this is what I use mine for as it is a powerful unit. Use 2 half hour cycles (no heat) after blending your ingredients for best results (don't follow those 8 minute recommendations, it's retarded and not as effective). Several people in the Facebook group "Liposomal vitamin C" use and recommend this specific unit. Just be sure to clean the reservoir and rubber seal around it thoroughly after use and do not use the unit to clean stuff with and contaminate it. Hope this helps!

There is no information on the bottle or have I read anywhere about this brand being stabilized. I have severe nerve pain and I have diabetes 2. I tested it by comparing and not taking it. Nerve pain was worse, and blood sugar went up. While on it, 2 tabs 3 times daily, nerve damage is not as bad and blood sugar stays lower. Since it does not say it anywhere being stabilized I would write the company. So I would say "No". No record of it found to be stabilized. Thanks for asking, now I will be doing some more research on why stabilization is more important than not. I will write the company and ask. However, because the price is low, that also sends to me a red flag that it is not stabilized. Good luck. Please note if you find a brand that is stabilized and at a lower price. Thanks in advance.

Vitamin C becomes unstable in a relatively short time once it is mixed with a liquid. I had the powder form of C and mixed as needed for about 6 or 7 months then noticed that when I mixed it with liquid the liquid stayed an orangey color,which means the powder vit. C was no longer any good. Time to buy new. And a reason to buy smaller quantities of it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. They do make a Vitamin C Complex 90 tabs or 180 tabs NOW Foods C-1000 Buffered C with 250mg Bioflavonoids Sustained Release 180 Tablets that has calcium ascorbate, but no other minerals. That's the one I really wanted, but I ordered the wrong one.

The information on the label was designed to comply with FDA requirement for such product. Moreover this product typically retains its effectiveness upto two years when stored well. Mostly, they are used up within few weeks to months of production, so as important as expiry date is they may not be an issue with so many vitamin c serums.

Hi, it didn't really work for me. For the cost...I'd expected much more. I've found that high concentration topical vitamin C and hyaluronic acid work in tandem really well! I hope this is helpful!

To be honest I am not sure. My ingredients does not list vitamin C either. I'd check with the manufacturer.Thanks

This is MJ from La Beaute Pure. That is a great question! Currently our Vitamin C Serum contains almost 20% Vitamin C. Due to adding so many extra botanicals to our product, our manufacturer informed us that to add more would make the product too runny. The good news is that they have just formulated a new serum that will contain a new blend of potent botanicals with extra vitamin C making it 20% The new blend will be stronger yet the same consistency. The new formulation will be ready in a couple of weeks. The best of the best just got better! We will launch the new formula with extra Vitamin C in the next few weeks. Thank you!

I actually went to the website and read all about this vitamin and the different ways to administer. I did not see anything about Ascorbic Acid - but I do know that my grandma used it in canning: One-quarter teaspoon is just over 1,000 mg, anything less means it has fillers. you can obtain more information from: http://www.livonlabs.com/ Because it is different, it needs to be mixed with a little water or juice or a shake. It is the best form of Vitamin C I have used. It does not bother my stomach, and I use 2 packets twice p/day. Hope this helps

Honestly I do not know there is nothing indicating it does on real label just pure Ascorbic Acid. I goggled it and pure ascorbic acid Pharm. grade with no extras such as this have no carbohydrates.
