Summary of Reviews

AI-generated from customer ratings & reviews, and may include incentivized reviews.
The product is widely praised for its ability to brighten complexion, fade dark spots and discoloration, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many users report noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance after consistent use. The combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid is credited for the product's efficacy, making it a "holy grail" for many. While some users find the distinctive smell off-putting, the majority feel the benefits outweigh the odor. The serum is suitable for a wide range of skin types, though a small subset experienced breakouts or irritation.

Amazing product

This serum is amazing. I feel like I had a mini facelift. I used it many years ago as my dermatologist highly recommended it. I loved it then but had to stop because of the money. I decided to try it again about a month ago. My skin looks great. It’s definitely a keeper.

Powerful, effective vitamin c product

Skinceuticals makes such high quality products, and this one is top tier. CE Ferulic is so effective at brightening skin and really makes you glow. This is a staple for me. Although pricey it is worth it if you like vitamin c. The way it is formulated makes this a powerhouse of a product.

Results after use!

I really liked this product! I noticed the fading of age spots and the lines on my face are less pronounced. It is extremely easy to apply and you can pair it with your favorite moisturizer for an enhanced affect! The bottle size is a small profile and great if you need to travel!

A luxe vitamin C serum that helps my face look refreshed

1 was really excited to try the new SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic because skincare has become a much bigger priority for me as I've gotten older, especially products that help with brightness, texture and the visible signs of aging. The formula contains 15% pure vitamin C along with vitamin E and ferulic acid, so this is definitely more than just a basic face serum. I love how lightweight it feels going on. I only need a few drops, it spreads easily across my face and neck, and it absorbs nicely without leaving my skin feeling heavy or greasy. What I notice immediately after applying it is how fresh and radiant my skin looks. Obviously, things like fine lines, firmness and discoloration are results I would want to judge after consistent use rather than a few applications, but I really like the way my skin looks and feels so far. I also appreciate that this is a product focused on both protecting the skin from environmental stressors and addressing the visible signs of aging. At this stage of my life, those are exactly the kinds of products I want to invest my time in.

The Science Behind C E Ferulic®

  • 8X Stronger Skin Against Environmental Aggressors

    Every day, aggressors like sun & pollution can cause oxidative stress on skin, resulting in signs of aging. Using C E Ferulic® daily can help protect skin from these environmental aggressors and can even reduce up to 48% of potential damage from free radicals formed by pollution, the sun and metals.

  • Superior Formula with 15% Vitamin C

    C E Ferulic® serum is an antioxidant formulated under the Duke Parameters. The synergistic combination of 15% pure vitamin C along with 1% vitamin E & 0.5% Ferulic acid in an optimal, acidic pH provides superior skincare results proven by publication after publication. C E Ferulic is the #1 dermatologist recommended vitamin C serum among medical aesthetic skincare brands.

  • Gold is the Standard

    As a form of pure vitamin C, it is normal for C E Ferulic® to be a gold or amber color upon opening and after use. The color of the serum is not an indicator of efficacy, as clinical testing shows that the ingredients remain potent to the last drop for up to 36 months.

  • C E Ferulic® + Laser Treatments

    C E Ferulic® has been tested with physicians after both non-ablative & ablative laser procedures. Ask your dermatologist about pairing C E Ferulic® with your next laser treatment to maximize skin results.

F A Q

Answers to your frequently asked
C E Ferulic® questions.

The new CE Ferulic is still powered by our classic triple-antioxidant blend (15% Pure Vitamin C, 1% Vitamin E, 0.5% Ferulic Acid) for advanced environmental protection . The addition of 2 new ingredients, 0.3% Carnosine, and 1% Endophytol work synergistically with this combination and boost anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to promote visible skin longevity.​

Yes, this formula provides all benefits of our original C E Ferulic formula, including improving 8 signs of aging beyond wrinkles and 8x stronger skin against environmental aggressors. Now, though, it is proven to visibly reverse 10 years of aging signs, of lack of firmness and dullness. ​

While keeping our classic triple-antioxidant combination, we have boosted the formula with two new ingredients to improve visible skin longevity:​
0.3% Carnosine: A powerful dipeptide of 2 amino acids that acts as a strong antioxidant.​
1% Endophytol: A dandelion root extract with strong anti-pollution and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Yes. Since we do not add artificial fragrances or preservatives to our products, what you smell is the natural scent of the vitamins and botanical extracts. In consumer testing, users found no significant difference in the sensory experience or application between the original and the new formula.​

(Note: Just like the original, it is normal for the serum to darken over time. Our stability data confirms that C E Ferulic remains effective and safe to use, no matter the color.)

Yes, absolutely. The original C E Ferulic formula remains safe, stable, and highly effective. You can continue to use your current bottle daily (4-5 drops in the morning) and we recommend using it within 3-6 months of opening. Once finished, you can seamlessly transition to the new enhanced formula.​

At SkinCeuticals, we are committed to driving skincare forward through scientific innovation. After 20 years as the gold standard in antioxidant care, we meticulously enhanced C E Ferulic to incorporate the latest breakthroughs in longevity science.​

This double patent-pending modernization allows us to extend antioxidant efficacy and improve visible skin longevity as well as protect against modern daily stressors like heat and visible light, without changing the beloved texture, scent, and safety profile of your favorite serum.​

C E Ferulic® has been clinically tested and is safe to use after professional laser treatments. Always consult with a physician or provider for individualized post-procedure care.

Upon breaking the plastic and opening, the color of C E Ferulic® can vary, ranging from relatively clear to pale yellow to amber. Due to the key ingredients in the formula, the vitamin C serum will begin to darken in color over time. Please note that this does not mean the formula has become ineffective.

It is normal for SkinCeuticals ferulic acid serum for the face to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. The formula will remain effective. It is recommended to be used within 3-6 months after opening with daily application of 4-5 drops to the face, neck, and chest.

Our SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic® study looked exclusively at 12-week data where we saw significant results.

C E Ferulic® should be the first step as part of your morning regimen, while a retinol or retinoid should be used as one of the final steps of your nighttime regimen. There is no conflict or issue to use both within the same daily skincare regimen. Please consult your skincare physician with any questions.

C E Ferulic® is recommended for people with wrinkles and/or fine lines. Every skin type is different, so while some people with sensitive skin will have no issue using C E Ferulic®, some might. We offer a variety of antioxidant options so that there is a suitable option for every skin type.
