C E Ferulic® Benefits
C E Ferulic offers a range of powerful benefits for the skin. It provides advanced protection against environmental aggressors by neutralising damaging free radicals. This results in visible anti-ageing effects, including a reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles, improved firmness, and a brighter, more radiant complexion. Once absorbed, the serum remains effective for at least 72 hours. It’s ideal for normal and dry skin types and is completely paraben-free.
 
C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is a high-potency antioxidant serum formulated to protect against atmospheric ageing. It combines 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid to defend against environmental damage and the premature signs of ageing caused by free radicals from UV rays, infrared radiation (IRA), and ozone pollution (O₃).
 
Science and Proof
SkinCeuticals research demonstrates that specific combinations of antioxidants, when carefully formulated, work synergistically to produce better results than individual ingredients alone. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, but its instability makes it difficult to deliver effectively to the skin. The patented formulation of C E Ferulic—developed under the Duke Antioxidant patent—has solved this challenge and has been published in eight peer-reviewed scientific journals.
 
This formulation is based on three essential parameters for delivering vitamin C effectively:
 
Use pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
At a concentration of 10%–20%
Maintain an acidic pH between 2.0–3.5
 
Clinically Proven Results
Clinical studies have shown that C E Ferulic delivers visible and measurable improvements in skin:
 
37% increase in firmness
27% reduction in the appearance of fine lines
36% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles
 
Protecting Skin from Environmental Aggressors
Environmental aggressors such as sunlight, air pollution, and metals produce free radicals that cause oxidative stress and speed up visible ageing. Daily use of an antioxidant like vitamin C can help neutralise these free radicals and protect the skin from long-term damage. C E Ferulic is specially designed for this purpose, with a formulation that directly targets and reduces oxidative stress.
 
Our Formulation Superiority
Developed by Dr. Pinnell at Duke University, the Duke Antioxidant patent defines the precise conditions for optimal delivery of vitamin C to the skin. It outlines the combination of L-ascorbic acid, a 10–20% concentration, and an acidic pH (2.0–3.5) as key to formulation success. This scientific innovation also enabled vitamin C, a water-soluble antioxidant, to be combined with vitamin E, a lipid-based antioxidant, for superior skin protection.
 
Gold Is the Standard
It’s completely normal for C E Ferulic to appear gold or amber in colour either upon opening or over time. This is due to the presence of pure vitamin C and does not indicate reduced effectiveness. Regardless of colour changes, testing confirms that the active ingredients remain potent for up to 36 months.
 
Use With Non-Ablative Laser Treatments
C E Ferulic pairs effectively with non-ablative laser treatments, which work by triggering the skin’s natural wound-healing response to increase collagen production and cellular renewal. Using this serum before or after laser procedures can boost results and help shorten recovery time by visibly reducing redness and swelling.
