Top vitamin c serum for my acne-prone skin
This is my favorite vitamin C serum. I've tried the CE Ferulic, but it's too oily for my acne-prone skin. This serum is much more lightweight and doesn't leave a shiny finish, more of a subtle glow. It's not irritating even with the salicylic acid, and helps to brighten my skin tone over the 4 months I used it, and keep blemishes from coming up. I will definitely repurchase this over the CE Ferulic version.

Caused me to breakout- skip this one
I concur with others. I have acne prone/oily skin (skin of color), and ever since I have been using this product my skin has gotten worse (pimples continuously appear on my face). I agree that the consistency is quite oily and leaves a sticky residue on your face (odd since it’s supposed to reduce oiliness!). I’m switching back to Phloretin CF, which works much better.

Silymarin CF
I have used several SkinCeuticals products and this one is gentle but I feel like it is working. I am 55 with oily skin. Some clogged pores, mainly sebaceous filament. I use 5-7 mornings a week. I will buy again.

I had high hopes for SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Vitamin C Serum
Given the high price point for this serum, I had very high hopes. However, I experienced constant breakouts while using this product. Initially, I thought I might have been using too much of the serum, so I tried reducing the amount, but unfortunately, the breakouts continued. I made the decision to discontinue using the product due to the ongoing skin issues it was causing me. It's disappointing when a product doesn't work out as expected, especially when it comes with a hefty price tag. I would recommend being cautious and perhaps doing a patch test before fully incorporating this product into your skincare routine.

I like the Silymarin CF VC Serum
I originally was going to return this product because I thought I was ordering something else. I read the purpose of the product and felt it was more geared toward acne than the vitamin C I was wanting. I am 51 and believe it or not, still have acne. So frustrating. But I am constanting looking for the products that work for my aging skin. I decided to keep this as I believe I am going through the change and have been having weird clogged pours that I have never had before and just weird acne. I have been using this and am finding my pours are not as clogged and that the skin is looking better. I hate the price but I would buy again.

SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Vitamin C Serum
I have purchased this product 3 times now. I love it. It brightens my skin and also seems to help my fine lines. I am acne prone so this is also a good product for me because it helps reduce acne and it doesn't make me break out like the regular SkinCeuticals vit C serum. I would recommend!

Skinceuticals Silymarin CF is the Best
I love all Skinceuticals products, and use Silymarin SF Vit C Serum nightly. It feels and smells good going on and I wake up with clear skin, free of minor breakouts. Great for my sensitive skin! Applying moisturizer after the serum seals it in, lasting through morning.

Better than the CE Ferulic for my skin
I was using the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic serum for many months and liked the results, but when I was going to purchase another one, I decided to first look into the different vitamin C serums that SkinCeuticals had to offer, and I am so glad that I did. I have oily / sensitive / acne-prone skin and although the CE Ferulic was great, I saw that it was better for dry skin and the Silymarin one would be better for my type of skin. Since my skin is sensitive and I don't struggle with active acne, I was a little nervous that the added salicylic acid would be too irritating, but after using the Silymarin CF for some weeks, I find that it doesn't irritate my skin and I like that does not feel too heavy on my skin like the CE Ferulic did. I do also have some hyperpigmentation on my skin, am I am curious how the phloretin would work for my skin as well. Still debating if I'll try that one after I finish the Silymarin bottle.

My Favorite C Serum
I love SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Vitamin C Serum. It protects my combination oily skin from aging elements in the environment while also helping to control excess oil. I was first introduced to this product in an aesthetician's office. I'm so happy that now I can purchase it from the LovelySkin website.

Love it!
The Skinceuticals Silymarin CF is an outstanding product. I like to switch between their CE Ferulic and the Silymarin. It really brightens the complexion, goes on easily and dries quickly. I highly recommend.

Works! Reduced blackheads
I’ve just finished my first bottle after switching from their Phloretin CF. I have oily skin and larger pores especially on my nose. While the Phloretin was great, I wanted to try the Silymarin to reduce clogging and the small blackheads you have to stay on top of. The Silymarin has provided very noticeable results. My skin isn’t nearly as oily at the end of the day, and a fraction of clogging I had in the past. Amazing!!

Very good serum
I like this serum a lot. I used to use the Skinceuticals 20% vitamin C for years but it was discontinued. Because of Skinceuticals recent enormous price increases, I decided to try a 15% from a different brand (rec by Lovely Skin personnel). I liked it, but it was not oil-free (per LovelySkin staff) and took a long time to absorb and I felt like I was never matte throughout the day, even with my primer. I decided to try this product next and paid a lot more, but I do like it better. I am almost 59 and still have oily skin and this product absorbs very quickly (like the 20% one did) and is oil-free, which is good for me. I do not have any stickiness or any shine during the day with this product. So I am going to stick with this one for now. I wish it came in a 20% strength because my skin can handle that level. Disappointed that SkinCeuticals eliminated so many of their great products and really raised the prices incredibly high. This is one product I will have to pay more for and thankfully LovelySkin always offers a discounted rate.

I appreciated the recommendation from LovelySkin that I use this product after my serum 20 product was discontinued.
