C E Ferulic Reviews

Skinceuticals CE FERFULIC serum comes in a 30ml glass bottle that is tinted dark to protect it from light and external factors. It is made in the USA & comes with a dropper applicator.
Using the rubber dropper applicator is easy- you squeeze a few drops of the serum onto your fingers and it comes out easily. This serum has a very intensive smell- its quite strong & off putting but this is because there is no added fragrance or nasty ingredients. I apply 4-5 drops onto my face & neck as per the instructions and it easily spreads over the skin. The smell does fade & is barely noticeable once it has absorbed into the skin. It takes around 5 minutes to fully absorb into the skin as it is quite watery but heavy serum- but it does. I use it in the am and follow with a moisturiser and sunscreen- you must wear spf with this one.

Included in this formula are proven anti-oxidant & anti-ageing ingredients. Its like a super serum. It contains 15% pure L-ascorbic Acid and 1% Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) as well as Ferulic acid at 0.5%. Ascorbic acid has been proven to work better with the addition of vitamin e and ferulic acid delivering deeper into the skin. These ingredients protect against free radials, uv radiation and stimulate collagen. Once absorbed this serum claims to not be able to washed or rubbed off - remaining on the skin for up to four days- delivering excellent and ongoing protection. Another fantastic thing about this product is that it really absorbs into your skin, and you can feel that it's not going to rub or sweat off - however it doesn't leave an icky residue feeling on your skin at all. Just a healthy, moisturized and protected feeling.
I have combination skin that has fine lines & pigmentation. Using a whole bottle of this serum once a day provided me excellent results. Within a week I notice a glow to my skin that look natural & lasted even on days not using this serum. This serum also faded my pigmentation and scars dramatically- my pigmentation marks have almost diminished - they are hardly noticeable at all. Scars have decreased- amazing stuff. But the glow is worth it! The serum doesn't cause me any clogged pores, breakouts or irritate my skin in any way. It just absorbs and I'm good to go. I do find this serum quite rich on my skin though- and it feels very moisturising as well so Id be careful with extra oily/ acne prone skin. Really this is a winner - it provides daily antioxidant protection with support and fades fine lines and pigmentation. I also don't develop any more pigmentation spots using this.

Even with using 4-5 drops a day the Skinceuticals CE FERFULIC serum lasts for months. My bottles last around 4-5 months. Unfortunately and my only complaint is that the serum does oxidise quite quickly- within 3 months it starts to change from a clear serum to a yellow colour. This is a sign that the ascorbic acid in this product has started to oxidise and wont be as effective. You can still use it but the ascorbic acid will have decreased. By the fourth month time-frame you will need to stop using it as it wont have much effect or results on the skin.

I would highly recommend this one to those looking for antioxidant protection and fading spots. Using it every morning with daily spf is a great overall step in the promotion of healthy ageing. Your skin will thank you- it will glow, look radiant and fight ageing.
