SKINCEUTICALS C E FERULIC

If you’re into product reviews, chances are you’ve already read beauty editors sing the praises of this daytime vitamin C serum—Skincare.com editors included. Formulated with an antioxidant combination of 15 percent pure vitamin C, 1 percent vitamin E, and .5 percent ferulic acid, the serum helps strengthen the skin against environmental stressors—smoke and pollution, among them—which may cause visible signs of premature skin aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dulled complexion. Apply 4-5 drops to the skin after cleansing and toning. Follow up with broad-spectrum sunscreen for the most complete protection against visible aging caused by environmental aggressors.

Safe for all skin types, the formula is oil- and fragrance-free, as well as non-comedogenic. Plus, it dries matte without a greasy finish. UVA/UVB protection sans oily residue—no wonder it’s a hit!
