COULD THIS BE THE BEST VITAMIN C SERUM?

CE FERULIC by Skinceuticals

Vitmain C’s use in skincare has become a mainstay cosmetic ingredient because of its herald benefits of boosting collagen (a protein in the skin) which contributes to skins elasticity, tone and texture. It is also a powerful antioxidant when applied topically helping the skin to defend itself from free radicals including pollutants and the effects of the sun. Vitamin C also helps to protect our skin from the sun and can even reverse sun damage such as age spots and freckles.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic® ‘is a revolutionary antioxidant combination that delivers advanced protection against photoaging by neutralizing free radicals, boosting collagen synthesis, and providing unmatched antioxidant protection. More protection means more youthful looking skin and better defense against environmental aging.’

The main benefits of this product are: 

• Provides advanced environmental protection against UVA, UVB and infrared radiation 
• Stimulates collagen synthesis to improve signs of aging
• Increases firmness and replenishes lipids to reduce wrinkles
• Once absorbed, this serum can’t be washed or rubbed off. It remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours, making it an excellent addition to sunscreen.

It is no wonder that you cannot talk about Vitamin C serums without seeing or hearing this product mentioned as one of the top serum of its kind. I have been using this for over a year after listening to a close friend who works with the line talk about it’s effect on his skin. At $150 for a 1 oz bottle my reluctance was well justified until I received a sample of the product and just couldn’t see myself living without it. As a brown skin girl, pigmentation is one of my biggest concern with breakout blemishes sticking around longer than I’m comfortable with. This serum has helped to not only minimize my blemishes but also helps to shield my skin from the sun preventing old blemishes from reappearing during summer months. It is no wonder it was chosen as Allure’s Best of Beauty three times, New Beauty’s Best Anti Aging Antioxidant (major for this magazine if you’ve ever read it) and Instyle’s Best Antioxidant Serum. 

What also makes this product stand out from it’s competitors is that it combines Vitamin C (well, l-ascorbic acid which is a more stable form of Vitamin C) with Vitamin E to boost its antioxidant power. This is important because antioxidants, caused by pollution, the sun and even the foods we eat, causes fine lines, wrinkles, hyper pigmentation, sullenness, blotchiness, and rough hard texture to the skin. Combine that with the addition of ferulic acid which is a plant-based antioxidant that is found in bran, among other plants which research suggests provides antioxidant and sun-protective benefits to skin while enhancing the stability of topical applications of vitamin E, and you have a triple threat. C E Ferulic not only treat the existing free radical damage to the skin, but it also reverses damage already done, a past, present and future weapon against aging. What more can you ask for? 

Perfect if your main concerns are:

• Dark spots and sun spots
• Fine line and wrinkles
• Sagging, droopy skin
• Skin sensitized by sun damage
• Sensitive skin types such as rosacea

This serum is beneficial for most skin type. If you are more sensitive, the milder version of this product is Serum 10 and if you are more oily, the Phloretin CF may be a better option.
