If you’re even remotely interested in skincare, you probably already know that incorporating an antioxidant-rich vitamin C serum into your daily routine is essential to fighting off visible signs of aging while also protecting the skin from?and reversing?pollution damage, free radicals and the sun’s harmful rays.
Vitamin C is lauded for its unrivaled power to visibly fade dark spots, soften the appearance of fine lines, combat dullness, and improve overall elasticity (read: firmness). Unfortunately, it’s an active ingredient that’s pretty challenging to stabilize, making skincare products made with it among the pricier ones on the market. While there’s a slew of popular (and effective) vitamin C skincare products available in an array of different price points and formulations, the coveted C E Ferulic Serum by SkinCeuticals is one of the most raved about and best-selling options you’ll find today.
