Do I need to dilute this before putting on my skin?

I don't dilute the oil when I put it on my forehead and neck. My skin isn't very sensitive though .

You always dilute it. I use distilled water to make the TCA about 80%. I have watched enough YouTube videos to know not to use 100% on your skin. So far at 80% I am getting very good results. I have done 5 sessions. I have previously done laser, but this doesn't hurt as much and it is cheaper.

Yes! I usually wait about a minute for the Dermasilk to absorb, then apply my moisturizer. This stuff is awesome and works, good luck :)

PS: test skin sensitivity to each oil before applying liberally, even if diluted �

First of all, I'm not sure how you are going to dissolve the "C" in your moisturizer. The recipe I follow calls for 1/2 tsp of C crystals and 2 Tbl of vegetable glycerin and 1/2 tsp of distilled water. Two Tbl is probably more than you would use at one time on your face. Not really sure how you would estimate cutting down the amount of C or if that is even advisable.

It IS 35%. It is packaged carefully and has to be stored in the refrigerator. There is a small hole in the lid that prevents pressure explosions. Please be careful to dilute this appropriately (down to 3.5%) before you touch it. DO NOT let it touch your skin before it is diluted! If it does accidentally drip on your skin, rinse the area thoroughly under cool running water for a few minutes. What I got from this company is indeed the real 35% concentration, and you must be careful to handle it as such.

I use it undiluted with no ill effects, however some with sensitive skin may want to dilute it in either olive oil or jojoba oil. When I made my own from essential oils, I did dilute with jojoba oil. I would just experiment with the dilution ratio.

Nope, depending on the thickness of your hair, just use one or two squirts, I alway run it between my hands first so it's not to thick when I put it in my hair and then for my face, I use two squirts. I rub it in my hands as well and then rub it in circular motions on my face. I use it after my serum. If you feel like it's a little too oily, give it a few mins to dry. You'll be amazed how much your skin loves it and soaks it up!

This oil is a pure essential oil. It is not diluted, make sure you do dilute it before using on skin.

You really should dilute it with water, or other oils, versus applying directly to the skin (unless you just finished bathing and didn't towel dry). You can do a spray bottle of one part Glycerin and two parts water. I also make an 8oz bottle of mixed oils that I apply directly after my shower and it contains only 1-1.5 oz of glycerin (the rest is shea, sweet almond, and olive or coconut-depending on the season). Remember, a little goes a long way, and the amount you use is based on the season and the climate where you live.

I have never diluted it but just used a few drops here and there. I think if you go on the website for the actual product there was info on how to dilute it. The product worked well for me in my back yard with just a few drops placed on skin.

It depends on the oil. Many of them need to be diluted before applying topically. For example, for the synergy blend 'stay alert,' they recommend a 3 to 5% dilution for topical body applications. I suggest checking directly with the manufacturer before adding to any lotions, creams, etc. Their website is www.edensgarden.com. I hope this helps! :0)

I apply it before moisturizer. Let set a few minutes then apply moisturizer.

Yes, I would mositurize very well before hand. Let the skin absorb it then apply

Yes it says on the bottle not to dilute it, just pour into spray bottle and use as usual.
