SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum
This is the first time I have ordered this Serum and at the moment the "jury is still out"! I think the product is probably very good for my skin but I can only use it on days when I will not be wearing foundation. My foundation just does not spread smoothly over my face after applying the Serum - I have tried several times with just small amounts and it still "clumps" and I have to cleanse my whole face! The Serum also is ultra tacky and does not allow moisture cream to be absorbed.. Another thing I have noticed is that my hairline hair has turned yellow and am wondering if the acid in the Serum might have caused this ?

DIDN'T DO A THING FOR ME
I am soo disappointed in this highly over-rated product. I used it daily, every morning, faithfully for 5 weeks (supposedly it's supposed to last 3-4 months!). My skin looks exactly the same as it did on day one. I wish there was a way I could return the nearly empty bottle for a full refund. I didn't mind the scent, thinking as long as it actually works, that won't bother me. But it did not work, at least not for me. I have ordered a different brand with nearly the exact same ingredients but a few more added in there for more skin benefits and will see if I can see some results with that one. If that one is a failure too, then I will cease trying a high-potency vitamin CEF product. I refuse to spend money on something that does nothing for me. Really wanted this to work. Ah well, live and learn.

I'm 48 and this made me break out like I was 16 again. I tried to stay the course as it came highly recommended by a friend but after 3 weeks, I couldn't take it anymore. Didn't work for me.

Acne almost immediately
I was so excited to use this product after glowing reviews from friends and dermatologists. However, after just a week of use, my entire face - forehead, chin, and cheeks - have been breaking out like crazy; I have never had acne like this. My face is definitely not glowing. From “Google-ing” this product and acne, I see that this can be a common occurrence.

Caused cystic acne
After using the skinceuticals c e ferulic for 1 week I got 4 deep large pimples. I stopped using it for a week and during that time my skin was fine. Then I started using it again and after 2 days I got 2 more pimples. Now I only use it on my neck and hands. I started using a different vitamin c and it is so much better for my skin. It doesn’t break me out and brightens my skin. It is a lot more affordable as well. It just goes to show you that expensive products are not always the best. I am very disappointed and will not be repurchasing skinceuticals c e f again.

Not so great!
I am super underwhelmed by this product, after all the amazing reviews I read. It does smell like hotdogs, but I was willing to overlook this, if it truly did what it was touted to do! I took before and after shots after using for over a month, and I looked exactly the same. :( Not worth the big bucks!

Do NOT waste your money
Look for another option because this only has 15% Vitamin C. I bought Eva Naturals with 20% Vitamin C and paid around $30 (don't remember the exact price but less than $40). This product also includes 5% Hyauronic Acid, 2% Rentinol, 3.5% Niacioamaids and 10% MSM. Works just as good probably better due to 20% C and Rentinol. I stopped buying these products years ago and my face is great for my age. Buy Smart, High Cost Brands rip people off.

HORRIBLE SMELLING PRODUCT
HORRIBLE SMELL! I am shocked at how bad this smells. How is it no one mentions this? I opened it as soon as I got it - it has not been sitting around and the very first time I used it - it stunk! It smells like ham - it's like rubbing ham on my face. If it wasn't so expensive - I would have thrown it right into the trash. I am using it since it's soooo pricey but never again. It stinks so bad that I have to wash my hands 2x with rose scented soap to get the smell out of my hands. I have to put on a nice smelling moisturizer, foundation primer, and foundation to mask the smell on my face. I could never just wear it alone - it is HORRIBLE. The worst smelling skin product I have ever used and I have tried a lot! Never again- the worst product I have ever used. hate it, hate it, hate it.

SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic
My dermatologist suggested I use SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic in the morning. I tried it for 10 days and my face was so dry it actually became tender. I stopped using it and my face has recovered. I will begin again starting with every other day and work up to daily if my skin is happy. It may be too really to rate this product because I may need to ease into it a little more slowly.

Not impressed.
As I said in my first review was not too impressed with product. Product had a awful smell to it as well! All the results by using this product that were written and stated I did NOT by any means see those results while using it well over 4.5 weeks. For that amount of money invested in this product (which I don't mind at all paying for a great product) did not exceed expectations or what was quoted in the results.

Whats all the fuss about
I ordered this based on the wonderful reviews. In all honesty, I dont think I needed it. For one, its waaaay to heavy for my acne-prone skin. It smells like hotdogs-seriously! This did absolutely nothing for my face, except clog my pores and make me breakout. Really sad because it was sooo expensive. :(

Too Drying
I wanted this product to work, I love SkinCeuticals products. My skin is EXTREMLEY dry to start with. I have tried SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum several times. Consistently showing the same results for me. It was extremely drying to my skin. It caused 1 or 2 clogged pores, pimples under my skin, that left painful red bumps on my face..Never coming to the surface but fading over time. There are several products on the market that have the same effect on my skin type. I am not sure what ingredient in the products causes this issue for me. I love SkinCeuticals products. I have not read any other adverse reactions to this product besides my own. Will keep using SkinCeuticals, they are amazing with great results. I just cant use this product which is fine. Just wanted to put it out there to let you know love the brand but this didnt work for me. Dont give up on this company if its your first experience. There products are amazing and have transformed my middle age skin. I am told all the time that I look like I am between 28-32. I am almost 50.

A big mistake
This product ravaged my acne-prone skin. This is partly my fault. SkinCeuticals does not recommend this for acne sufferers. I found this out too late. There are other Vitamin-C serums they have that are gentle for acne-prone skin. laureth-23 is a highly comedogenic ingredient. Even though it's been about 2 months since I've stopped using this, I still have terrible acne. I saw no benefits otherwise from using this. It does dry your skin out, so you need to top it off with a moisturizer.
