Q&A

Q&A

What is the difference between C E Ferulic and Phloretin CF?
C E Ferulic® and Phloretin CF are similar formulations, as both contain L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C)- and ferulic acid. C E Ferulic® contains 15% L-ascorbic acid while Phloretin CF is formulated with 10% L-ascorbic acid. They also differ in that Phloretin CF contains phloretin instead of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). The phloretin ingredient in Phloretin CF helps improve the appearance of discoloration, while alpha-tocopherol in C E Ferulic® works synergistically with vitamin C to help neutralize free radicals. C E Ferulic® is recommended for those targeting fine lines and wrinkles while Phloretin CF is recommended to help improve the appearance of skin tone evenness.
Why does Phloretin CF formula get darker over time?
Vitamin C serums, including Phloretin CF vitamin C serum, get darker after opening due to exposure to light and air. L-ascorbic acid may discolor with time, but oxidation is minimal and the formulation is proven to remain effective up to 6 months after opening.
How long does a bottle of Phloretin CF last after opened?
It’s recommended that you use a bottle of Phloretin CF serum within three months of opening it. All SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulations have been tested in final packaging and have been confirmed to remain stable and effective for 30-36 months, and up to 6 months after opening. L-ascorbic acid may discolor with time, but oxidation is minimal and the formulation is proven to remain effective.
What product should you use after Phloretin CF?
Apply your favorite SkinCeuticals sunscreen after using phloretin serum for effective protection from the sun.
Can I use Phloretin CF with Retinol?
Yes, you can use Phloretin CF with Retinol. Apply Phloretin CF vitamin C serum in the morning, and then use Retinol at night.
How long does it take to see results from Phloretin CF?
You can start to see results from Phloretin CF as quickly as four to six weeks. After 12 weeks, you can start to see marked improvements like more even skin tone, increased radiance, and reduced discoloration.
