Our take on the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic With 15% L-Ascorbic Acid Serum

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a daytime antioxidant serum built on 15% L-ascorbic acid, 1% vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid. That trio is the formula the brand's research made famous: it brightens tone, softens fine lines and defends skin against UV and pollution damage. It is a thin, watery serum in an amber glass bottle with a dropper. The latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.

Questions and answers

Is it worth $159?
If you want a clinically backed vitamin C serum and will use it daily, yes. Cheaper serums exist, but few match the 15% ascorbic acid, vitamin E and ferulic acid combination with this much research behind it.
How does it compare to SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF?
C E Ferulic suits normal to dry skin and targets dullness and fine lines. Phloretin CF is lighter and aimed at oily or combination skin and uneven tone.
How should I store it?
Keep the bottle closed, upright and away from light and heat. A cool, dark cabinet slows oxidation; discard it once the liquid turns deep yellow or brown.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes, but not in the same layer. Apply C E Ferulic in the morning and retinol at night to avoid irritation.
What is in the box?
One 1 fl oz amber glass bottle with a dropper. No other accessories are included.
When is it cheapest?
Prices dip during major seasonal sales and multi-buy events. The current best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.
