Love it

I've been using Skin Ceuticals CE Furilic religiously for years. An absolute great product that made a noticeable difference in my skin, smother more even tone. I decided, however, to take a chance and try something a bit different for comparative purposes. So far, I'm loving the Phlerotin CF Antioxidant and seeing good results. My local dermatologist first recommended Skin Ceuticals to me.

Helpful product!

I switched to this product after using CE Ferulic for years. This product is better for oily skin and helped with my breakouts. It’s a little more drying than the Ferulic but works really well. My skin is clearer and skin tone more even.

Like this one the best!

In the SkinCeuticals line, I have tried each of their Vitamin C serums first starting with their CE Ferulic, then tried their Silymarin, and now am using their Phloretin. Each Vitamin C serum gave wonderful results; however, after trying all of them, I must say that I like the Phloretin version the best for my skin. My skin is sensitive, oily/acne prone (no active acne though, thank goodness), and I do have discoloration. Since my skin is on the oily side, I found the CF Ferulic to be too hydrating. The Silymarin worked great on sucking up a lot of the oil on my face, but since I didn't have any active acne, I found the additional salicylic acid made my face more red. The Phloretin is the perfect mix. I like that it has helped with any recent marks on my face, but I don't see any major difference in my other discoloration/dark spots. But, for a great vitamin c serum, this is the one for me.

Going back to CE Ferulic

I've only used this product a few weeks so it's too soon to know if it had any impact on discoloration. The viscosity is thinner than the CE Ferulic I've been using for years and it does not give my skin the same suppleness and glow that the CE Ferulic does. Perhaps it's because this does not have sodium hyaluronate. But even with adding a moisturizer after the Phloretin, I don't see the same result. It's okay but I'm going back to my gold standard CE Ferulic after this bottle is finished.

Great serum

I finished a bottle and didn’t reordered right away. I’ve noticed the difference after a few days of not using it.

Favorite Vitamin C serum

I’ve tried other vitamin C serums but the Phloretin CF is the only one that doesn’t cause me to have acne. Highly recommend and will be purchasing again.

Excellent product

This is a serum I love to use daily. I’ve seen more even skin tone, reduced areas of hyperpigmentation and use it every morning as a base prior to application of sunscreen. I highly recommend this product!

Long lasting improvement

I have seen improvements to my skin since using about to open 3rd bottle and order 4th. I’ve had brown spots due to age and sun diminish. But most noticeable is my skin texture. I’ve got areas where I used to have to use highlighter that now have natural highlights. I feel confident going to the store or getting coffee with no makeup, I wouldn’t do that 4 months ago. I’ve had compliments on my skin. Someone inquired if I had work done! For oily skin this is the greatest serum, and they are hard to find.

Vitamin C Serum for Sensitive Skin

I have struggled with minor hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and forehead starting around the age of 40. I have tried vitamin C serums from the highest rating serums on Amazon to Neutrogena. The previous serums gave me an immediate stinging sensation when applied and always gave off a coffee smell that was overpowering when it was sitting on my skin. I was hesitant to try SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Antioxidant Vitamin C Discoloration Serum due to my previous side effects from other serums and because of the price. I chose this particular serum due to the positive reviews for oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. First, I would like to say that I have had none of the previous side effects at all with this product and my hyperpigmentation issues have gone away. I religiously use the serum daily in the morning along with my Skin Ceuticals hydrating B5 gel, moisturizer and ISDIN sunscreen. Although the bottle is small, it lasts a very long time. Money well spent and yes it works.

3.5 stars

I cycle on and off this product because of the cost. I've noticed some improvement in my skin's overall brightness and texture. The serum absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue, which is great for my combination skin. However, I'm not entirely convinced it's worth the hefty price tag. While I've seen some reduction in dark spots, the results aren't as dramatic as I had hoped for, especially given the cost. The smell is also quite strong and takes some getting used to. Overall, it's a decent product, but if price is a consideration, not sure if it's significantly better than some less expensive vitamin C serums on the market. If you have the budget and are patient with results, you'll see results, but not miracles.

SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Antioxidant Vitamin C Discoloration Serum has done wonders for my completion/skin. The dark spots that were on my forehead and cheeks are no longer there. I use it daily underneath my SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. I highly recommend!

So far so good

I used Skinceuticals CE Ferullic for years and switched a year ago to Phoretin CF gel and now to Phoretin CF Serum. I periodically review the write ups to see if there might be something more suited to me. So far I like the Phoretin Serum and am hoping it will help with some discoloration too.

No harm in trying!

I've been using the CE Ferulic for years, and am trying this to see if it is even more effective at reducing sunspots. So far, it's at least as good as the CE Ferulic, so no harm in trying. Time will tell if sunspots fade even more.
