SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum 30ml

High-performance antioxidant vitamin C serum for brighter, firmer, more radiant-looking skin.

If you're looking for a clinically backed vitamin C serum to target visible signs of ageing, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, dullness and loss of firmness, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is one of the most recognised antioxidant serums in professional skincare.

This high-potency formula combines 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and 0.5% ferulic acid to provide antioxidant protection while helping improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, firmness and uneven skin tone.

At Skin Deep Medispa, we love SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic as a morning antioxidant treatment for clients wanting to protect their skin from everyday environmental stressors while supporting a brighter, smoother and more youthful-looking complexion.

Why SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic?

Not all vitamin C serums are formulated equally.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic uses a carefully researched combination of pure vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid. Together, these antioxidants help neutralise free radicals generated by everyday environmental exposure, including UV radiation and pollution.

With consistent use, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic helps:

• Brighten dull, lacklustre skin
• Improve the appearance of uneven skin tone
• Reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve the appearance of firmness
• Support a more radiant, healthy-looking complexion
• Protect against environmental oxidative stress
• Support skin resilience against everyday environmental aggressors

SkinCeuticals reports that the antioxidant protection of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic remains effective for up to 72 hours after absorption.

The Antioxidant Formula

15% Pure Vitamin C — L-Ascorbic Acid

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic contains 15% pure L-ascorbic acid, a potent form of vitamin C widely used in professional skincare.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals and supports brighter-looking skin. It can also help improve the appearance of pigmentation, uneven skin tone and visible signs of photo ageing.

1% Vitamin E — Alpha-Tocopherol

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that works alongside vitamin C within the formula.

It helps neutralise free radicals while supporting the skin's natural lipid barrier, making it particularly well suited to normal, dry and ageing skin.

0.5% Ferulic Acid

Ferulic acid is a plant-derived antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals and supports the stability and antioxidant performance of vitamins C and E.

The combination of these three antioxidants is what makes C E Ferulic such a standout formula.

How To Use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic

C E Ferulic is designed to be used as part of your morning skincare routine.

1. Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
2. Tone, if toner forms part of your routine.
3. Apply 4–5 drops of C E Ferulic to your dry face, neck and chest.
4. Allow the serum to absorb before applying your other skincare products.
5. Follow with your moisturiser, if required.
6. Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, such as SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+

For new vitamin C users or particularly sensitive skin, consider introducing the serum gradually and increasing frequency as your skin becomes accustomed to the formula.

With 4–5 drops used daily, a 30ml bottle typically lasts approximately 3–4 months, depending on individual application and usage.

Vitamin C + Sunscreen: Your Ideal Morning Combination

Vitamin C and sunscreen play different but complementary roles in a morning skincare routine.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic provides antioxidant support against environmental stressors, while sunscreen helps protect your skin from UV radiation.

For the best approach to daily skin protection, apply your antioxidant serum in the morning and finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Important: Vitamin C does not replace sunscreen.

Can I Use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic With Other Skincare Products?

Yes. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic can be incorporated into a broader anti-ageing and corrective skincare routine.

Depending on your skin type and concerns, it may be paired with ingredients such as:

• Hyaluronic acid
• Moisturisers
• Sunscreen
• Retinol or retinoids
• Other targeted treatment products

The order and combination of active ingredients can matter, particularly if you're using multiple corrective products.

If you're using several active ingredients or have sensitive skin, we recommend having your routine assessed by a skincare professional to minimise the risk of irritation and make sure your products are working together appropriately.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Frequently Asked Questions

What does SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic do?

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a high-potency antioxidant vitamin C serum designed to help protect skin from environmental oxidative stress while improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, firmness and uneven skin tone. Its formula combines 15% L-ascorbic acid, 1% vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid.

Is SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic good for pigmentation?

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic can help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and pigmentation. Vitamin C is well known for its brightening and antioxidant properties and can form an important part of a pigmentation-focused skincare routine.

For persistent pigmentation, however, vitamin C should be considered as one part of a broader approach that includes daily sun protection and, where appropriate, other professionally recommended treatments.

Is SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic suitable for sensitive skin?

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is formulated for normal, dry, combination and sensitive skin types. However, pure L-ascorbic acid is a potent active ingredient and some people may experience temporary sensitivity when first introducing it.

If your skin is particularly reactive, introduce the product gradually and seek professional advice if you're unsure whether it is appropriate for you.

When should I use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic?

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is designed for morning use. Apply 4–5 drops to a dry face, neck and chest after cleansing and toning, before your other skincare products.

Always finish your morning routine with sunscreen.

How much SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic should I use?

SkinCeuticals recommends 4–5 drops per application to the face, neck and chest.

A little goes a long way, and using significantly more product does not necessarily mean better results.

How long does a bottle of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic last?

When using approximately 4–5 drops each morning, a 30ml bottle typically lasts around 3–4 months, although this will vary depending on how much product you use each application.

Why has my SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic changed colour?

Pure vitamin C can oxidise when exposed to air, light and other environmental factors.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is initially clear to pale yellow and may become darker as it oxidises. SkinCeuticals recommends using the product within six months of opening for best efficacy.

Store your serum as directed and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Is C E Ferulic worth the investment?

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a premium vitamin C serum formulated around a specific combination of 15% L-ascorbic acid, 1% vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid.

For someone looking for a high-performance antioxidant serum to complement an anti-ageing, pigmentation or skin-protection routine, it can be a worthwhile investment.

The most important factor is choosing a formula that suits your skin type and using it consistently as part of a complete skincare routine.

Can I use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic every day?

Yes. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is designed for daily morning use. If you're new to pure vitamin C or have sensitive skin, gradually introducing the product can help your skin adjust.

Can I use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic with retinol?

Vitamin C and retinoids can both have a place in an anti-ageing skincare routine, but combining multiple active ingredients can increase the potential for irritation.

A simple approach is to use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic in the morning and a retinoid in the evening, followed by moisturiser and daily sunscreen.

If you're already using several active ingredients, speak with a skincare professional about the best way to structure your routine.

Our Skin Deep Medispa Recommendation

If you're investing in one high-performance antioxidant serum, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a product worth considering.

The key is consistency. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic works best when used regularly as part of a complete skincare program that includes appropriate moisturisation and, most importantly, daily broad-spectrum sun protection.
