For more than two decades, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum has been the gold standard in antioxidant skin care. Dermatologists recommend it, skin care professionals rely on it and countless consumers have made it a staple in their morning routine. Now, this iconic vitamin C serum has been thoughtfully enhanced. 

While maintaining the same trusted triple-antioxidant formula, the enhanced patent-pending C E Ferulic introduces two additional ingredients to further support visible skin longevity, bringing together decades of antioxidant expertise with the latest advancements in skin care science. If you’ve noticed the updated packaging or wondered what’s changed, here’s everything you need to know.

Does the enhanced SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum deliver the same benefits as the original?

Yes, and that’s intentional. The updated SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum - New Patent-Pending Formula continues to feature the same core antioxidant combination that has made it one of the most recommended vitamin C serums available:

• 15% Pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)
• 1% Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol)
• 0.5% Ferulic Acid

This synergistic combination continues to help defend against environmental aggressors while visibly improving signs of aging. Rather than replacing this iconic formula, SkinCeuticals enhanced it by adding two new ingredients designed to further support visible skin longevity, provide additional antioxidant benefits and fight inflammation.

What’s new?

The enhanced patent-pending formula now includes:

• Carnosine: A powerful antioxidant that works alongside the classic antioxidant blend to further support visible skin longevity.
• Endophytol: A dandelion root extract that provides additional antioxidant support while helping defend against modern environmental aggressors.

Together, these ingredients complement the original formula without changing what made C E Ferulic a skin care icon.
