Dear American customers, DHL so far has been charging 65% import tax instead of the 15% they should have over our Derminator device because they apparently assume that a "tattoo device" is made out of steel so they did 15% + 50% steel tariff, which by itself is preposterous, since that tariff is for bulk import of cheap Chinese steel that competes with US steel mills). Pending the outcome of a small test order batch with improved descriptions on Customs invoices, we won't ship to the US until DHL starts correctly assessing import tax. We should know more around October 15 and expect to open up permanently to the United States again.

20 grams / 0.7 oz of pure vitamin C powder (L-Ascorbic acid) to be used in a freshly made skin serum as per our dermarolling instructions. Dissolves easily. We grind it ourself - such fine powder is not commercially available. Vit. C must be freshly made - commercial products are sub-par. Vit. C is essential for collagen production. Due to the fineness of the powder it can also be mixed into creams but it does not dissolve into pure oils/fats, it needs the presence of some water to dissolve.

Note that almost all vitamin C available from pharmacies is the "buffered" non-acidic variety, neutralized with for example Sodium bicarbonate. Such buffered, non-acidic vit. C is not suitable for a microneedling skin serum.

Vitamin C is necessary for collagen synthesis. This vitamin C is made in Germany and purchased in a pharmacy, so it is excellent for use in salads as well.

Vitamin C skin creams or serums need to be freshly prepared to be effective. "Aesthetic Surgery of the Facial Mosaic" by Dimitrije E. Panfilov:
