The science behind SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic
SkinCeuticals research shows that specific combinations of antioxidants, when effectively formulated, perform synergistically to provide results superior to every single antioxidant formulation.
Published in 8 peer-reviewed scientific journals, CE Ferulic is a vitamin C serum formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent. The Duke Antioxidant patent describes the effective delivery of vitamin C to the skin. In order for a vitamin C serum to be effective, it must be formulated with pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) at an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and have a concentration between 10-20%. SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these parameters.
Shield Against Atmo3spheric Aging
Ground-level ozone (O3) pollution is shown to cause signs of premature aging. New ground-breaking SkinCeuticals science shows over-exposure to ozone pollution may cause visible skin aging, and topical antioxidant use can help prevent the impact of ozone damage to skin. For the first time ever, SkinCeuticals C E FERULIC was shown to help shield against signs of skin-aging induced by ozone (O3) pollution. Learn more about atmospheric aging and ozone pollution
