What ingredients are in SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic?

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a daytime facial serum that contains 0.5% ferulic acid, 1% vitamin E and 15% vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid, which is the purest form of vitamin C. In combination, these three antioxidants work together to help neutralize free radicals in the upper layer of your skin, which helps prevent visible signs of photoaging from exposure to the sun as well as environmental aggressors like pollution. It also helps brighten your skin and diminish fine lines and wrinkles over time.

In a sixteen-week clinical study in which participants ages 40 to 60 used SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic and SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 on a daily basis, results included a 36% reduction in wrinkles, a 39% reduction of discoloration and a 37% increase in firmness.

What makes SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic different than other vitamin C serums?

Scientific research is a major driver behind all of SkinCeuticals' product development, and C E Ferulic is especially notable because its formula is patented. Though it may be impersonated, its novel formulation can never be duplicated! Once absorbed into your skin, C E Ferulic remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours, and it’s also clinically proven to reduce up to 48% of potential damage from free radicals formed in your body in response to UVA and UVB rays, diesel exhaust and ozone pollution. These free radicals can go on to cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin as well as cause visible signs of aging such as dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

How should I use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic?

SkinCeuticals recommends applying C E Ferulic as part of your morning skin care routine after you’ve cleansed your face, toweled off and waited a couple minutes for your skin to dry. Next, you can use the eyedropper lid to squeeze four or five drops of the serum into the palm of your hand. Then, gently pat it onto your face, neck and chest. After, it’s time to apply your favorite broad-spectrum sunscreen.

C E Ferulic is just one of several SkinCeuticals vitamin C serums that LovelySkin carries. “A vitamin C serum is an important part of any skin care routine, so you’ll want to make sure you choose one that’s a good match for your skin,” says Dr. Joel Schlessinger, LovelySkin CEO as well as board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. “I find that C E Ferulic is a good match for my patients with normal to dry skin, while I tend to recommend Phloretin CF for people with oilier skin. I also really like SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E for nighttime use as well.”
