The smell makes me want to vomit
This smells like old hot dogs and the smell sticks to you until you wash your face. I can’t believe this costs $182! Awful!!!

Not For Me
I wanted to love this product! It does provide some extra hydration, but after 4 weeks of use it has been causing acne and I haven't noticed any real changes with my skin so I'll be discontinuing use.

C E Ferulic serum reaction
This serum, unfortunately, highlights areas on my face in orange. According to my board certified dermatologist, I am the second patient of hers who has had this appear. She recently returned from a seminar in NYC presented by SkinCeuticals and is reporting this side effect to them. This has caused some consternation, as I recently purchased the serum from LovelySkin for $182.00 plus tax. I am extremely fair and perhaps, because of that, the serum shows a reaction more clearly than on someone with more pigment in their skin. The splotchiness is not attractive!

Very oily
Breakouts in places I have never broken out from this very oily stuff. Also smells like band aids. Not worth it.

Greasy
This is a terrible product. It’s sticky and oily. I don’t know how this received great reviews.

Absolutely no difference!
Absolutely no difference other than very greasy skin during the day. So cut back to just night and still, nothing. I developed red blotches that itched and requested a refund after 2 weeks of use. And I never received a reply. I’m still waiting after more than month ago. Very disappointed!

chemical burn
I used this product once the morning after I used the SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E Antioxidant Night Concentrate Treatment, so I can't say whether it was this product or that one, but it badly burned my skin. If I could post a picture I would. Under my eyes were puffy and over 5 days, my skin dried, cracked and peeled. it was incredibly painful having such a swollen face. I look like i was stung by bees. SkinCeuticals should know about this horrible reaction.

Congesting
Gave this a try because it has been deemed the holy grail of vitamin c but it was super congesting - thanks LovelySkin for your fab return policy, however!

Not appropriate for my dry, sensitive skin
Even though this is considered the best version of Vitamin C on the market, it did not work for my dry, sensitive skin. I tried it on and off, each time it dried my skin out and irritated it a bit. I am currently looking for an effective version of vitamin C for dry, sensitive skin.

All words- no action
Don't waste your money on this product even if you are a fan of SkinCeuticals. I did not see any improvement and with most products (If they are very good) I usually see something even if it's only a slight change.

Different color and consistency than my last three bottles
I have used the CE Ferulic for years. However, the most recent bottle is very light colored and the consistency seems very light. It feels like a watered down version. I have been working with customer service to resolve this. I miss have my full strength CE Ferulic.

About my experience
From experience and honestly... I used the product exactly as it says but I didn't see any results. There are cheaper products with results that are impressive, fast and clear.

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.
