skinceuticals: the vitamin c’s
Vitamin C is a crucial step in our morning skincare routine. SkinCeuticals is known for having the holy grail Vitamin C serums; at Frida, we can’t live without them. However, there are three different options, and sometimes it can be challenging to decide which one will be best for you. They all help to prevent and correct damage from oxidative stress (dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles), brighten skin, and promote collagen production. So - which one should you be using to kick off the day? It is based on your skin type!
CE Ferulic
Skin Type - Dry and Normal Skin
Main Concerns - Fine Lines and Wrinkles, Sun Damage
Benefits - Anti Aging, Brightening, Preventing and Reduce Sun Damage
This patented and famous vitamin C serum offers anti-aging benefits and prevention for dry, sensitive, or normal skin. Its blend of antioxidants that includes ferulic acid (which helps improve the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, photodamage and loss of elasticity while brightening the skin) is a must-have in your routine. In addition, this formula also contains Vitamin E, which helps to restore lipids in the skin.
Phloretin CF
Skin Type - Combination Skin
Main Concerns - Discoloration, Sun Damage
Benefits - Prevent and Reduce Pigmentation and Dark Spots, Anti Aging
If your main concerns are discoloration and signs of sun damage, then Phloretin CF will be your new best friend. This formula combines vitamin C and ferulic acid with phloretin. Phloretin is an antioxidant derived from apples that helps combat dark spots. Unlike C E Ferulic, it doesn’t contain vitamin E, which makes it a better fit for skin types with an oily T-zone, as vitamin E can be too rich for combination skin.
Silymarin CF
Skin Type - Oily and Acne Prone Skin
Main Concerns - Oiliness, Clarity,
Benefits - Prevent and Reduce Breakouts and Sun Damage, Brightening
The newest addition to the SkinCeuticals Vitamin C family! Six years in the making, this Oil Free Vitamin C was designed to prevent oil oxidation that can lead to breakouts. The formula also delivers advanced environmental protection, reduces oiliness and helps refine texture and improves clarity, uneven skin tone and fine lines. This formula also contains Salicylic Acid to combat acne.
