Can vitamin C drops act as a serum?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm entirely too dumb to do the math, so here goes: I have a bottle of vitamin C drops for children that contain 100 miligrams of L-ascorbic acid per 1 mililiter of liquid. (5 mg per one drop) The contents are L-ascorbic acid, glycerin and water. What would the percentage/strength of vitamin C be in this product and is it in any way feasible as a serum? I'll say that it does sting quite a bit when used together with AHA/BHA and I am normally quite resistant to acid. But it doesn't irritate to the point of redness or persistent effects. Like all acids, it just leaves my skin softer. It tastes sour but pleasant, sweeter than lemon juice or pure vitamin C tablets - good enough for a baby to drink with some resistance.If the vitamin C is viable that would be pretty cool since I already mostly moisturize with glycerin and try to keep my skin pH low, so it might be nice to fight acne scars. If not, I will just drink the drops since I've more pressing concerns than buying and mixing up powders at the moment. Could anyone just tell me how to estimate acid strength from the weight in this product? I haven't been able to find anything online.
