I used the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic for one month.

Read my review on whether the cult-classic serum is worth its $182 price tag.

Its frequently given beauty awards and included in best of skin-care listsbut why?

alt

It consists of a unique form of vitamin C patented for its specific pH level and percentage.

And most importantly, why does it cost a whopping $182?

Many products irritate my skin, giving me redness or an under-the-skin rash around my eyes and cheeks.

Thats the case with SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic.

This formula was and is groundbreaking to the skin-care industryit created a vitamin C skin-care revolution.

The C E Ferulic has a patent unlike other vitamin C serums on the market, adds Tsui.

It was published in 8 peer-reviewed scientific journals, accounting for the serums efficacy.

Once applied, the serum is effective for at least 72 hours, says Dr. Liu.

It improves the skins brightness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

you might also use it at night to help with dark spots, Tsui notes.

If not, you’re free to use it with mostly all ingredients.

If anything, wait a few minutes before each step of your skin-care routine and monitor for irritation.

It may tingle slightly upon app, which is normal, but it should subside quickly.

However, if it irritates or creates a rash/breakouts, I suggest discontinuing use, says Tsu.

Because ascorbic acid can be strong, it may be sensitizing for sensitive skin.

When storing the serum, confirm you keep it somewhere away from sunlight and heat, says Dr. Liu.

If you live in a place with high temperatures, keep it in the refrigerator.

How long does it last?

The serum lasts five months since you only need a few drops, says Dr. Liu.

To truly find out, I tested the serum for a month to deliver an accurate, long-term review.

To be honest, the serum didnt start on the right foot for me.

And I am happy I did.

Plus, it wasnt greasy and didnt interfere with any makeup I applied after my skin-care routine.

It wasnt until the fifth week that I saw a subtle difference.

Final verdict

I really wanted the C E Ferulic to be my next skin-care obsession.

After all, it is the queen of all vitamin C serums.

So, is it worth it?

alt

Short answer: Yes and no.

I didnt see as much improvement as I would have liked for the price tag.

Just proceed with caution if you have hypersensitive skin like I do.
