What is SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic?
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a daytime vitamin C antioxidant serum for the face, neck and chest. It combines 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid, and the current formula adds 0.3% carnosine and 1% Endophytol, a dandelion root extract. SkinCeuticals formulates it to neutralize free radicals from UV rays, pollution and other environmental aggressors while improving the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, firmness and radiance. It is recommended for normal, combination, dry and sensitive skin. Apply four to five drops to a dry face each morning after cleansing, then finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Available at SkinCrew in 30 ml ($185).

The problem
Sunscreen is essential, but it does not address everything skin meets in a day. UV rays, ozone and traffic pollution generate free radicals, and over time that exposure shows up as fine lines, a loss of firmness, dullness and uneven tone. Many vitamin C serums promise to help, yet pure vitamin C is unstable and hard to formulate, so results from one bottle to the next can be inconsistent.
The antioxidant serum the category is measured against.
C E Ferulic pairs pure L-ascorbic acid with vitamin E and ferulic acid, a combination SkinCeuticals has studied for decades and holds at a specific pH and concentration. The serum works alongside sunscreen rather than replacing it: it neutralizes free radicals while visibly improving wrinkles, firmness, texture and brightness. SkinCeuticals reports that, once absorbed, it remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic: the daytime vitamin C serum for visible firmness, brightness and environmental defense
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is the brand's signature daytime antioxidant, built around 15% L-ascorbic acid, 1% alpha-tocopherol and 0.5% ferulic acid. SkinCeuticals describes it as improving eight visible signs of aging, including the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, radiance, elasticity, firmness and texture, on all skin tones. It is used in the morning, under moisturizer and before sunscreen.
The current formula keeps the classic triple-antioxidant blend and adds 0.3% carnosine and 1% Endophytol, a dandelion root extract with anti-pollution benefits. SkinCeuticals reports that the serum reduces combined oxidative damage generated by UVA and UVB rays, ozone pollution and diesel engine exhaust by up to 41%. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why C E Ferulic Stands Out
- Three antioxidants that work together. Vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid are combined because each supports the others. SkinCeuticals notes that ferulic acid enhances both the antioxidant benefit and the stability of vitamins C and E.
- Pure vitamin C at 15%. The formula uses L-ascorbic acid, the pure form of vitamin C, rather than a derivative, held at a precise pH and concentration.
- Research behind the formula. SkinCeuticals cites more than 40 years of antioxidant research and more than 28 clinical studies behind C E Ferulic, with testing across Fitzpatrick skin types I to VI.
- Lasting once absorbed. SkinCeuticals reports that the serum remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours after it absorbs, so it cannot be washed or rubbed off during the day.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic do?
C E Ferulic is a daytime antioxidant serum that neutralizes free radicals from UV rays, pollution and other environmental aggressors and improves visible signs of aging. SkinCeuticals lists eight signs, including the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, radiance, elasticity, firmness and texture, on all skin tones.
How do I use C E Ferulic?
Use it in the morning. After cleansing and toning, apply four to five drops to a dry face, neck and chest before other skincare products, then finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. SkinCeuticals states that its antioxidants and sunscreens used together help defend against visible aging caused by environmental aggressors.
What is in C E Ferulic?
The serum contains 15% L-ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C), 1% alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and 0.5% ferulic acid. The current formula also adds 0.3% carnosine and 1% Endophytol, a dandelion root extract. It is free of parabens, alcohol, fragrance, dyes and silicone.
Can I use C E Ferulic with retinol?
Yes. They are used at different times of day. Apply C E Ferulic in the morning under sunscreen, and apply a retinol such as SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 or 0.5 in the evening as one of the last steps of your night routine.
What is the difference between C E Ferulic and Phloretin CF?
Both are daytime vitamin C serums with ferulic acid. C E Ferulic has 15% L-ascorbic acid with vitamin E and is recommended for normal, dry and sensitive skin and for lines and firmness. Phloretin CF has 10% L-ascorbic acid with 2% phloretin and is recommended for normal, oily and combination skin and for discoloration.
Why has my C E Ferulic changed color?
It is normal. SkinCeuticals states that C E Ferulic is a gold or amber color on opening and darkens with exposure to air and light, and that color is not an indicator of efficacy. The brand recommends using the serum within three to six months of opening.
How long does C E Ferulic stay on the skin?
SkinCeuticals reports that, once absorbed, C E Ferulic remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours. Daily morning application is still the recommended use, so skin is continually replenished with antioxidants.
Is SkinCrew an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer in the US?
Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer and sources every unit directly from SkinCeuticals, so C E Ferulic arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
