What I said about it: If this iconic antioxidant serum doesn’t give you a bad case of FOMO, I want to know why.
The SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum was the first dedicated antioxidant treatment I ever used.
Back when I was working at Kiehl’s, I remember when they first started selling SkinCeuticals in the L’Oreal company store. I was able to get it with my employee discount and it was still expensive at $100. Retailing for $166, the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is likely the most luxurious antioxidant serum on the market. I’m not going to say it’s the best antioxidant treatment out there because I’m not a chemist. But I do know it’s very, very well-formulated — and certainly is among the best antioxidant serums and best Vitamin C serums!
And if you’re going to spend $166 for a single skincare product, you should at least feel confident you’re not being scammed. Which is something you certainly can’t feel spending $195 on a jar of La Mer.
C E Ferulic is formulated with 15% L-ascorbic acid, a highly potent form of pure power brightening vitamin C; 1% alpha tocopherol, a pure form of vitamin E that neutralizes free radicals and replenishes skin lipids; and 0.5% ferulic acid, a powerful plant-based antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and enhances the antioxidant benefits and stability of vitamins C and E. Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate round it out.
Is it worth the money? Kinda, maybe, sorta?! I mean you can’t go wrong with this one in your skincare arsenal. Oh, it’s also patented: U.S. Patent No. 7,179,841.
What I think now: This one is a true OG. I’ve been using it off and on for 15 years and don’t intend to stop now. Wish I still got that discount, though!
Will I miss it?: Duh, it’s the OG!
