Skinceuticals CE Ferulic

SkinCeuticals research shows that specific combinations of antioxidants, when effectively formulated, provide superior results to each single antioxidant formulation alone.

Mentioned extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals, C E Ferulic is a vitamin C serum demonstrated to provide powerful environmental protection due to a synergistic combination of 15% pure vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid), pure vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and 0.5% ferulic acid. It is formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent. Vitamin C is a highly-potent antioxidant that by its structure has difficultly being effectively absorbed by skin. The Duke Antioxidant patent outlines the formulation parameters required for effective delivery of vitamin C to skin: 1) pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C); 2) an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and; 3) a concentration between 10%-20%. SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these parameters.

_{1 PROTOCOL: 12-week clinical study conducted on 55 female subjects ages 45–60 (USA, 2013). Percentages reported are average results.}

_{2 PROTOCOL: a 4-day double-blinded clinical study was conducted on the back of 15 female subjects aged 18-40 years. During the 4 consecutive days, the back test zones were treated daily with or without C E Ferulic, followed by with and without 2 hours of PM and 5 minutes of UV daily exposure. Skin samples were collected for 4 hydroxynonenal (4HNE) protein analysis at the end of the study. Sunlight interacts with oxygen or molecules in skin to form free radicals. C E Ferulic does not contain sunscreen.}
