NOW Foods Supplements, Vitamin C Crystals (Ascorbic Acid) Powder , Antioxidant Protection*, 8-Ounce

This Vitamin C crystal powder is very good quality. It dissolves easily in water and has no strong taste. I use a small amount daily and it works well for immune support. The container is big and lasts a long time. Good value for the price. I recommend it.

This, suspended in one other easily attainable product, may be the best , most effective skin care product of all. This is not simply my own, scientific opinion, but also that of very famous television personalities with whom you are undoubtedly familiar. A whole host of articles refer to two facial products which when mixed together produce the equivalent of professional facial procedures, taking ten years off your appearance. The Dr O- show made the lady who discovered the magic mixture famous. So many companies barged into the fray, claiming that their products are those mentioned on the landmark show that the crooks outnumber the legitimate companies. Some offer "free" trials which as we all know are never free, and some of them are identity theft traps as my bank informed me after I fell for one company's beautiful ads, fake comparison studies, before and after photos and fantastic claims. In the end, the "magic " products actually responsible for remarkable skin texture, tone and clarity Dr O reveals, are defined as two simple elements, not any of the $150.00 per 1/2 oz mixtures at all, but Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. Even knowing which two ingredients to buy leaves one in a quandary because now there are hundreds of vitamin c serums claiming to be "the one" "pure" product. And of course the price varies from the approachable drugstore shelf serum to the estheticians office potions only the rich and famous ( and the desperate) can afford. I have relied on Timeless pure hyaluronic acid for years because it doesn't cause weeping eyes , running nose and blotchy skin with hives. I never realized just how beneficial it is, only that it holds 1000 times its own weight in water and I have dry skin and live in a beautiful city built on reclaimed desert. (it's not perfect either, there are real issues even with this staple brand, but it is less harmful than the others I've tried including the #1 seller on Amazon). "Now" brand has never disappointed me in any of the many products I've tried. Two squirts of Timeless hyaluronic acid, a tiny scoop of Now Vitamin C swirled around in it and the combination then applied to the skin is the purest, safest method available IMHO. Yes, it takes a few seconds for the crystals to dissolve but they do dissolve and if you can't take a tiny bit of grittiness for a few seconds boo hoo on ya. Most of us use microabrasives, with and without electric devices, to exfoliate with and we spend a lot of money on them, even Philosophy's, and are convinced of the value of doing so. This method circumvents the problem the snake oil salesmen struggle with and that is the rapid degradation of pure vitamin c once it hits the air. You'll know your premixed , multi-ingredient product is worthless, dead, when it turns yellow. That's when all you're putting on your face are the preservatives and purposeless fillers. Back to the point. After searching for weeks for a vitamin c serum at a concentration of 20 % or more and buying serums advertised as pure which actually have the wrong form of vitamin c and that in minute, useless concentrations, I have my answer. Of course, now I remember mother rubbing fresh cut lemons on our faces and the fact that we had gorgeous, blemish free skin while she was in charge, and I know that this is a forever amen regimen for me. I could care less about looking ten years younger . I love the fact that my skin loves vitamin c and hyaluronic acid and looks healthier than it has in all the years I trolled the cosmetics counters. And boy do I wish I had all that wasted money back! The quest, now that the workhorse items are cemented, (Elite Xtra strength peptide serum being the third of the triad), is for a healthy moisturizer that doesn't leave one looking like an oil slick like Cetaphil cream (still so fabulous a product that it is distributed by prescription by some large medical organizations) or straight up argon oil, great when nobody's looking. If anyone has a suggestion for a nonallergenic ( not hypoallergenic but nonallergenic) , nourishing, but matte moisturizer , I would truly welcome the assistance. Again I have to say thanks to Amazon for making all of these choices available to all of us, the mobile and disabled alike, the rich and the normal working stiff. I only have one compliant and that is that I wish Amazon would force these cosmetics companies to list their ingredients, in decreasing order of concentration and in American English so that we know exactly what we're buying and can make better informed purchases. Yes, I'm still fuming about that vitamin c, hyaluronic acid product, the number one seller , that is really water and aloe vera with tiny amounts of active ingredients, thrown in with the unnecessary additives, preservatives and irritants ,to fake legitimacy and still turn an enormous profit margin.

Best Vitamin c I've tried. Minimal taste when mixed in water. I've also mixed it into my moisturizer and used it on my scars from old pimples. Helped alot.

I make my own vitamin C serum with this stuff and it is so good for my skin. Vitamin C is involved it the stimulation and production of collagen in the skin and you can not get enough of it in the right places through diet alone. Buying high quality, designer C serum is always an option, but, it will cost you an arm and a leg and it will have preservatives in it and who knows what else? When you make your own, it is always fresh, extremely effective, you always know what is in it and it is so affordable you can use it all over if you wish. I make a fresh batch every 3 days and keep it in a dark spray bottle container. Vitamin C is extremely fragile and will turn quickly. If that happens you will actually be putting something on your skin that will CAUSE the very damage you are intending to prevent and reverse in the first place. So keep it fresh, never trust products that have vitamin C added unless they are costly and have a reputation for being good quality. Vitamin C is quite a buzz word for advertisers and marketers of products but does absolutely no good for your skin if it is not preserved properly and packaged correctly. Vitamin C serum needs to be made with purified water if you are using water as the base. Some other options are witch hazel or rose water. You can also add a drop or two of glycerin to give it a little slip and spread-ability. Always store it in an air tight container to prevent oxidation and make sure the container is a dark glass or plastic to protect it from light. Depending on how strong you want it the following guide will give you the measurements for the right formula for your needs or tolerance. 5% serum - 1/4 tsp Powder to 4 & 3/4 tsp base 10% serum - 1/4 tsp powder to 2 & 1/4 tsp base 15% serum - 1/4 tsp powder to 2 & 1/8 tsp base 20% serum - 1/4 tsp powder to 1 tsp base I jumped right into the 20% strength right away twice a day. It was a bit strong at first. Stings a little but I wanted maximum results right away. My skin responded the very first day. I woke up with brighter skin, tighter pores and a smoother feel to the touch. My skin was glowing! It keeps getting better but now I only use it every other morning as I now use Retin A at night. The spray bottle makes it easy to spray on my tummy, bum and thighs. If you use a dermaroller for stretch marks, cellulite or scars anywhere on the body, vitamin C serum is a must to aid in the repairing process. I love how the backs of my thighs are tightening up and this stuff is helping. Don't forget the under arms. I used to have issues with under arm odor even if I was freshly showered. I learned that this is a p.h. issue and as soon as I started squirting a little serum under my arms every morning it went away. I recommend a weaker strength for this so you don't sting your pits! I love this stuff. I wish I would have known of the benefits for use on skin years ago.

Vitamin C crystals as expected. Seem to be good quality.

Very effective for purpose.

送料込で￥2,000切るのはありがたいです。 飲みやすくずっと続けたいので値上がりして欲しくないです。届くまでに日にちがかかるから家のを飲みきる前に注文してます。

i see the value in this, i feel happy that i can use my small dosing spoon to feed myself and kids the amount of C. almost tasteless in plain water, almost, a little tangy acidity. but value overcome all

Alles ok

Since it’s powdered it’s great to add to natural juices and get a real concentration of V-C unlike ready made supplements. I personally felt the difference and hence I would buy it again!
