I have been using the NutriMinC Anti-Aging line by Arbonne for over two years now. I have Mediterranean skin so as you can imagine, I was very leary to try anything with Vitamin C for fear of creating additional sun spots on my face. This product line, because it is all natural and botanical and plant based, was the only product that eliminated the sun spots on my face. You can see a visible difference. My mother uses it and she is extremely fair skinned, It is a self-adjusting line that to be honest, I am not trying to “sell” you on, I am just pointing out that I truly stand by it. I am actually an HR Director and signed on with Arbonne as well because I love their products and love the discounts! :) The products are Swiss formulated, never tested on animals or ever used animal by products- in 30 years.

Anyway, I would just be cautious with the make-your-own route. That could be very dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. The wrong formula of too much of one additive or not enough of another could result in an adverse affect in your skin. I am very good friends with a Toxicologist who does cosmetic formulations and I know he would advise the same. :)
Arbonne lists all of their ingredients for all of their products. If you have trouble finding any information or would like me to email it to you, just let me know. My email address is: marwa.zakharia@yahoo.com

Good luck! Us women have soooo much to worry about! :)

There is a complication with the Vit C. L-Asbsorbic Acid. It loses it’s potiency almost as soon water touches it and will not be any good in a cream. There are a few expensive ways to put additives in a waterfree gel, ive done this and it is expensive. What I do now is put the Vit C powder on my face and use it as a scrub, leave it on a few moments ,and then rinse. Some people disolve it in water then apply with cotton ball when they get out of the shower. But this must be done almost as soon as it is disolved.
