Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium Hyaluronate is just hyaluronic acid, which is a humectant. Overall the product is pretty good, the only things that concern me are the rosemary extract, which is potentially irittating, and the Phenxyethanol. The vitamin-c concentration is very low though, it's kind of a scam to call it a "Vitamin-C Brightening Serum" with only 2.5%.

Just mix in some ascorbic acid powder into the vial and that's fixed.

I don't think that would work, as the product is formulated with Sodium Ascorbyl Sulfate and not L-Ascorbic Acid. If you mix in some Ascorbic Acid the product will go bad faster and it also might have unwanted side effects.

I have 5% serum, iirc, and it makes my face redder after applying and I feel my face getting hotter too. So at least 5%, I might try adding myself up to 10%, slowly overtime and seeing how it affects me.

Yeah, that's true. I also keep my serum at 0c temperature. That shit in general goes bad quickly, if kept warm.
