Some products earn their reputation. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum has been a morning-routine staple and a LovelySkin bestseller for years, and it holds the title of the #1 dermatologist-recommended vitamin C serum among medical aesthetic skin care brands. Now it joins the most anticipated SkinCeuticals new product launches of 2026. The gold standard has been thoughtfully reimagined with a patent-pending, enhanced formula that extends skin longevity even further, while keeping everything you already love about it.

What stays the same

The heart of C E Ferulic is untouched. This daytime serum still delivers its signature antioxidant blend of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and 0.5% ferulic acid. Together, these antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and strengthen your skin's defense against the environmental stressors that contribute to visible signs of environmental aging.

The texture, scent and safety profile match the original too, so if C E Ferulic is already part of your regimen, the new formula will feel instantly familiar.

What's inside the new formula

To further support visible skin longevity, the reformulated C E Ferulic keeps its classic triple-antioxidant base and boosts it with two powerful ingredients:

• 0.3% Carnosine: a dipeptide with antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
• 1.0% Endophytol: a compound derived from dandelion root extract that provides anti-pollution and anti-inflammatory benefits.

The result is added antioxidant support and defense against inflammation, all built on the SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum dermatologists and skin care lovers have trusted for two decades.

The results you can see

The new C E Ferulic is clinically proven to visibly reverse 10 years of aging signs, including a lack of firmness and dullness, so you can age backward. Beyond that, it continues to deliver the environmental defense C E Ferulic is known for:

• Visibly improves the look of eight signs of aging, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, loss of firmness and brightness on all skin tones.
• Provides 8x stronger skin against environmental aggressors.
• Clinically demonstrated to reduce combined oxidative damage generated by UVA/UVB rays, ozone pollution and environmental pollution by up to 41%.
• Once absorbed, it remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours.

Why the antioxidants matter

Free radicals from sun exposure and pollution are a leading contributor to visible premature aging. Each ingredient in C E Ferulic plays a science-backed role in the fight against them:

• 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid): this potent form of vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals and protect against oxidative stress while providing visible anti-aging benefits.
• Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol): the pure form of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and replenishes skin lipids.
• Ferulic acid: a plant-based antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and complements the benefits of vitamins C and E.
• Endophytol: derived from dandelion root extract for anti-pollution and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Carnosine: a dipeptide that adds antioxidant and anti-aging support.

The serum is also paraben-free, dye-free and formulated with no intentionally added alcohol.

How to use it

In the morning after cleansing, dispense four to five drops into clean hands. Gently press into skin on the face, neck and decolletage. Follow with the rest of your skin care routine and finish with sunscreen for daily protection.
