    Need to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does Phloretin CF do?
    It is a daytime antioxidant serum that pairs 10% pure vitamin C, 2% phloretin, and 0.5% ferulic acid to defend skin against free radicals from UV, pollution, and infrared. It also visibly improves discoloration, fine lines, and uneven tone.
    Should I choose Phloretin CF or C E Ferulic?
    Phloretin CF is generally geared toward normal, oily, and combination skin focused on discoloration and uneven tone. C E Ferulic tends to suit normal, dry, and sensitive skin targeting fine lines and firmness. Your skin type and main concern will guide the choice.
    How do I use it and how many drops?
    In the morning after cleansing and toning, apply four to five drops to a dry face, neck, and chest before your other products. You can also apply it to the backs of the hands, and always follow with sunscreen.
    What is phloretin and why is it in the formula?
    Phloretin is a plant-derived antioxidant that helps neutralize environmental free radicals, boosts the performance of the other antioxidants, and helps improve the look of uneven tone and sun damage. It is the ingredient that sets this serum apart.
    How should I store it and when should I replace it?
    Keep it tightly capped and out of direct light and heat, since pure vitamin C oxidizes with time and exposure. A light amber color is normal, but if it turns dark brown, it has oxidized and should be replaced.
    Can I layer it with sunscreen and other serums?
    Yes. Apply it first on clean, dry skin, let it absorb for a minute, then layer any other treatments, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Vitamin C and daily SPF work together to strengthen your skin's environmental defense.

    Gals... this is my go-to for 3 years and my skin looks better at 35 than it did at 25. Expert tip for ya: cover it in tin foil and leave it in fridge. It will slow down oxidation and keep the C active much longer than at room temp (you’ll see it turn yellow/smell bad as it oxidizes). Highly recommend!

    Discoloration Be Gone! Really fades brown spots, perfect for men and a little goes a long way!

    This vitamin C serum from Skin Ceultical is incredible, it leaves a super beautiful glow on the skin, it absorbs quickly into the skin. Since I use it, my skin has changed for the better, my imperfections on the face are less visible.

    I was expecting to really love this product after so many raving reviews! Unfortunately, I just don’t think it works well for my skin type, my skin was extremely clogged on a daily basis using this product. I think it actually caused breakouts due to the clogged pores and also made my skin much more oily.

    Jane P.

    Added this to my regimen with the CE acid serum. Love the result.!’
