It is a pass
My dermatologist suggested to use this vit C instead of CE Ferulic since I have acne prone skin and the vit E was not very good for my skin. I use this one for a few weeks now and I can see improvement on my pores and also less black heads on my nose than before. So it is working. Been using CE Ferulic for years but the Silymarin suites my skin better. Also no irritation or dryness.

Great Vitamin C serum for oily skin
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for writing this review. This is the first Vitamin C serum that doesn’t break me out. Love that it helps reduce oiliness and improves clarity and fine lines. This vitamin C along with sunscreen afterwards provides the extra protection that I need to prevent hyperpigmentation.

My go to serum for more than a year. I have oily skin and this serum is the only C serum that keeps my skin under control. It also lasts for a very long time.

SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. My forehead and nose were very oily and frequently broke out. Tried many products but Silymarin CF paired with Phyto A+ is the only thing that has worked without over drying my skin. Using them every morning has normalized my T zone and stopped breakouts.

Another amazed product…
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. I meant to buy Phloretin CF which I have been using. I received Silymarin CF instead, I then realized that I had chosen the wrong item. After reading the reviews, I decided to try Silymarin CF. Surprisingly, after a week of using it, I begin to notice that my skin tone is different. My face is smoother. This CF really goes well with the physical fusion UV defense sunscreen 50.

LOVE this product!
Started using this instead of the C E Ferulic when my derm mentioned that my skin was looking a little congested and recommend the switch. I don’t know that I will ever go back. It oxidizes less, I love the consistency and I like knowing that I’m getting SA in addition to my vitamin C daily!

Great addition for acne-prone skin
I’ve been using SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Serum for about a year after my facialist recommended it. It’s been helpful in treating breakouts, and does not dry out my skin. It absorbs fairly quickly, and I haven’t noticed any unpleasant odor. I plan to keep this as a essential part of my morning skin care routine.

Surprised
I bought this product because I'm over 45 and still have acne and sensitive skin. I wasn't expecting it to work however it has helped greatly. I use it twice a day, two drops each time, and mix it in with my moisturizer (in an effort not to dry skin out) and my complexion has improved overall, not just the acne. I will continue to use this wonderful product.

Great for Oily Skin, totally worth it!!!
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin serum for posting this review. I am 35 with oily skin, normal on my cheeks. I use to feel really oily especially in spring and summer. I've been using SCF for about two month and it feels not bad, my pores looks small and my acne was cleared and evens my skin tone. It was so easy to be absorbed and did not interfere with makeup application and my primer. Highly recommend! I will buy again for this product, it would be a part of my daily AM routine and must have VC serum of my life!!!

Controls Adult Acne
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. Finally a vitamin C serum that also addresses my adult acne!!! Crazy expensive but worth every penny. Absorbs well and feels less sticky on my face than other vitamin C serums I have tried. No need for me to every try another serum again.

Works great
If I think I'm staring to break out, I put it on and it prevents the breakout from happening. The only negative is that it's so pricey but you are paying for the gold standard of Vitamin C.

Great product
This serum is magic in a bottle! Having sensitive skin, I am always hesitant about trying a new product. After reading reviews I gave it a shot and love it. It seems to prevent pimples and even clears up the mild breakouts, leaving my skin tighter and clear. Thanks Skinceuticals

My favorite serum
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. I love this serum! I have tried the CE Ferulic, Phloretin and Serum 10 and all continued to break me out. The Silymarin doesn’t break me out and is a great antioxidant. It’s a bit ‘dry’ feeling so I like using either the retexturizing serum or HA intensifier afterwards to spread it better.

Another Skinceuticals Winner!
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. Was excited to try this as soon as it came out and was not disappointed! I am a big fan of Skinceuticals products to begin with and was previously using Blemish and Age defense for my aging, acne prone skin. I find the Silymarin to feel lighter and better absorbing and will definitely continue to use. I have been following up with the new Phyto A+ Brightening treatment and AOX Eye gel and my skin has never looked better. Highly recommend all three Skinceuticals products!

A Luxury Staple
I absolutely love this product. I've been using it for about 7 months now and as someone with sensitive and acne prone skin, this serum has worked tremendously at keeping my hormonal acne at a minimum without making me feeling like I'm traumatizing my skin. Just make sure to wear and reapply your SPF or else you'll be wasting your investment.

Even better than CE Ferulic!
I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review. I’m actually a cosmetic plastic surgeon myself, and I have been using and recommending to patients the SkinCeuticals CE ferulic for years. Because of the science behind it, for a long time it has been considered the “gold standard” in topical antioxidants. This new Silymarin CF product has changed everything for me. I personally have more oily and problematic skin, and this actually helps to decrease oiliness and decrease breakouts at the same time as providing all the antioxidant benefits that I know and love from the pure, stable form vitamin C that SkinCeuticals is so well known for.. I’ve already gone through a few bottles, and I love it way more than I did CE Ferulic, which I thought would be impossible!

Silymarin Vitamin C
I have tried phloretin CF and also CE Ferulic. I have oily skin and Silymarin is by far my favorite. It goes on smooth and doesn’t make my skin oily or breakout. Will definitely repurchase! I will receive a free full-sized Silymarin CF for posting this review.

Buy it
I have very oily skin with breakouts, primarily cystic acne. I’m always worried that any new product will cause my skin to breakout, so I’m very cautious about anything I put on my face. SkinCeuticals was the only thing that helped my acne. Silymarin not only helps prevent my breakouts, but it also improves the overall look of my skin. There’s no doubt that it’s costly, but it’s hard to put a price on finally having clear skin. Worth every penny for me.
