@sbgitana1 That's so hilarious! When I first did a video about CE Ferulic about 1 1/2 yrs ago that's exactly what I said it smelled like....lol! I had to take it down because there was some personal info mentioned that I was not comfortable with. So yes to answer your question, yes it did smell like hot dogs at first but of course I don't smell anything at all now ;-)
That is so interesting about keeping it in the fridge. I use the Avalon Organics Vitamin C. I have not been able to see a huge difference. I wonder how it would compare to the CE.
Hi, I am very interested in the CE Ferulic. I was curious though how long a 1 oz. bottle lasts for you? I'm hoping that it will justify the price if it lasts longer.
You have amazing skin, so I'm hoping I will have just as fantastic results!
Hi, thanks for the message. I will try to find some info on the hydroquinone. I am hearing conflicting reports. I guess we can't be too careful. Thanks for telling me. I must see if I can get your vit C . I looked on line but didn't find it. Happy New Year x
Hi, very interesting. I have been using obagi 20%,vit C as well as the rest of their products which are mostly tretinoin (vit A) and hydroquinone. The vit C is a life saver as the treatment dries the the skin. I shall look for your vit C as well. Thanks for the tips. Love and hugs Christine xx
@Angelmagik2 I tried the Obagi and it's nothing like CE Ferulic...on my skin at least, if Obagi works for you then that's fantastic! ;-D I would reconsider hydroquinone though ....it's been banned elsewhere in the world and I believe there is a motion to ban it in Canada and the US as well. It may be worth investigating ;-)))
@lovebeautyskin I have tried quite a few things....certainly not half their range but a must have for me is the CE Ferulic and their Ultimate Defense SPF 30 ;-)
@p3tr02oo6 hmm....well extractions will clean out your pores so that they can "shrink" back, but you have to prep your skin first. Microdermabrasion has helped some people although it's a bit too rough for me to do regularly. I LOVE the Clarisonic and it's really done wonders for my skin. Lastly, I'm not sure how old you are and if you're under 30 or 35 the I wouldn't use it but RetinA or retinol may also help. It takes a while for your skin to acclimate but it's fantastic ;-)
HI! the other products is cosmetic skin solution; well when you make a product you have active ingredients and those things are in the both products skinceuticals and CSS, the ingredients are the same 100% so you can't go wrong execept if the ingredients are low quality and is not this. You pay 130$ for 30 ml for brand more and not the products; it's like clothing don't you? CSS make the same products with the same benefits....
@p3tr02oo6 Hi ;-)...I'm not sure if you watched the video but no it it not the same. The ingredients are completely secondary. For instance when a drug company tries to find a new drug/cure for a disease they are not looking for "ingredients" they are looking for the "delivery system" A way in which they can "deliver" the ingredients to the brain, liver etc without breaking down. If they are not stabilized then those ingredients are totally useless. What you are paying Skinceuiticals for...
@p3tr02oo6 is the technology they have discovered to properly deliver Vit C (which is highly unstable) E and Ferulic to your skin. Cosmetic Solutions does not have that technology because it is patented. So in the mind of "Science" they are different products....if you see what I mean? ;-)
@kokolaroo I spoke about this because I know what i'm saying finishing medicine. When you said technology what did you mean ? that techonolgy have to be in the ingredients ... ( please excuse my english)
@p3tr02oo6 No worries, your English is just fine ;-) no the technology is the delivery system. That is what is patented. Most companies, whether they are pharmaceutical or beauty related have access to the same ingredients, Vit. C, E etc....they are not "secret" ingredients. The reason why they are all still doing research is to find the "new" or "breakthrough" way in order to deliver those ingredients....for example "nano" technology has nothing to do with ingredients...does that make sense?
hi!! i was given this sample from skinceuticals ages ago but never bothered using it but now iam so looking forward to using it after your review! but i have one question... how do you apply the CF Ferulic, on cotton wool or using your finger tips?
@marwitta Finger tips....I would not advise using cotton as you would wast half the product. I would also be careful about your sample. If it is ages old and wasn't stored in the fridge it may have oxidized. If it is brown or yellow it's definitely turned ;-(( If you read the below bar I have included a blurb about the potential harm of using oxidized Vit. C......there isn't enough research to make it conclusive but it's interesting ;-)
For those who have sensitive skin prone to breakouts there is a new formula, and it is called Phloretin CF. I have been on it for about 7-8 months, and wont go out without it. It has made a huge difference in my skin i terms of overal quality, clarity and glow.
I haven't purchaed it yet I just turned 26 but I've always had hyperpigmentation cause I'm african I wanted to update my skin care routine I currently use orgins and ur skin is amazing is it bad if I keep my skin ceuticals in my cabinet what will happen to it
@fashion502 I don't know what product you keep in the cabinet but if it's a serum it's not a good idea. If it oxidizes then you've pretty much wasted your money. If you're taking about CE Ferulic, please read the below bar for more info ;-)
I'm 28 with normal to dry skin with mild discoloration and I use SkinCeuticals B5 Serum 2X daily and have noticed a sig change in texture, tonal clarity, and acne marks. Look into this product as well it works great and is half the price of the other.
@Charito29NP I've actually tried the Obagi and I really didn't see anywhere near the same results as CE Ferulic....you'll probably have to get use to the difference in smell and texture ;-)))
Thank you so much for this video. I was browsing the net to find a good price for this product and came across SkinMedix. com. They have really good prices on the skinceuticals serums. However, I wanted to check with you if you have ever ordered from this site or have any idea about this site. Is it really possible to get the CE Ferulic for as low as $120.. that's what puts me in doubt. The site does look legitimate though. Would you give me your thoughts on this. Thanks a ton!!
@kpodury No I've never ordered from that site.....if it's American the price sounds about right. I believe the average is around $130 there so $10 off isn't too much of a price reduction. Good luck! ;-D
@kokolaroo : Yes. It is American (sorry I forgot to mention that before). I checked the Skinceuticals official website and the price mentioned was 144 USD where as in skinmedix, it was only 115 USD. That's what made me feel it was a big difference. Since this is my first time ordering the CE Ferulic, I have this feeling that any site that has it for a lesser price than the official website might not be offering the original product. silly me, I know :)
@fairy4angel No I haven't, I'm not a huge fan of Mario Badescu...it's not a great fit for my skin. Since I've found my HG C serum I've had no need to try out any others unless they happen to be sent to me;-))) And since this particular serum is patented I know there won't be anything exactly like it and for better or for worse my skin LOVES it ;-)))
KoKo.......I sincerely hope you read this and respond. What is ur true opinion on lightening freckles and age spots on the face. Like yourself, I'm Asian and over time, my freckles have darkened and increased.
@shoegal672 There's an entire video on hyperpigmentation that you may be interested in but unfortunately I have no experience with freckles. I also want to add that I am in NO WAY a skin expert so if you have further questions please consult a dermatologist or esthetician ;-)))
Ordered the phloretin cf(as i have combo skin), just received it yesterday, used it this morning. omg! amazing...i'm incredibly glad you reviewed it (again)!:) been searching for an alternative to hydroquinone and think this may be it. but i was wondering: do you use toner and if so, before or after your CE treatment? it looked so good upon immediate application after face washing that i was afraid to use toner. and was wondering how to travel with it too...can't go a day without this!
@desormais22 Yay!! I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you;-)))) Yes definitely stop using hydroquinone, I'm sure it will be banned in the states as it is in many places in the world. I always use toner but you certainly don't have to. Serums are usually used before moisturizers, what you put on before that is up to you. ;-D
Just got mine in the mail and have been using it for 2 days now. Don't get a "glow" but it does feel nice on the skin. Got it for a really good price through a US site (I'm in Canada too) - $94.50! - If I stock up on my next order, do you know if they will keep as long as I don't open the bottles? As an aside, is it me or does it smell like bacon? =)
You saying where you bought it from is exactly the same as me saying where other people can buy it from. I could say you are advertising but I am not. Do you realize how hypocritical that sounds?
@symmetricalastic If you are a SUBSCRIBER and sharing your experience that is fantastic and again I apologize ;-)) But if you are the OWNER of a website and post a link to generate traffic to your OWN website then I would have a problem with that. I didn't own that website nor did I make any profit from any purchases, nor was I paid to make the video. Again I could not verify who you were as your page is closed so I erred on the side of caution ;-) As you can tell from the re-editing of this and
@symmetricalastic the explanation in the below bar, I feel very responsible for who is promoted on this channel. I need to make sure when other people are spending their hard earned money on a site that I recommend, that it is a place that I have confidence in. You can go through all 109 videos and see that there may only be a handful of links.
@symmetricalastic As I cannot verify whether or not you work for the website you just posted as you have a closed channel I will be deleting it. I do not want this forum to be used for free advertising. Of course if that was not your intention and you just wanted to share I apologize but it will be removed none the less. I'm sure you can understand....it's easy enough for people to find the product as they just need to google it ;-D
Thank you for doing this video!!!I've wanted to buy it for a long time but i didn't because of the price and because it's not sold here in Greece so i can't try it first.But now...I'm definitely ordering it!!!
I really love your videos and value your opinion!!Your absence was very noticable here in YT...
@princessepenny aww thanks so much for your words of kindness and support;-)))) Please take your time finding the best price, sometimes you can come across some fantastic deals. I really hope it works for you!! But because you mentioned that price was a factor before, I suggest you read through all the comments so that you can get a better idea if this truly is right for you!! Let me know if you ever get your hands on it! ;-D
I got mine and have used it for two days now. How many drops do you use? The bottle says 4-5 drops. I've been using about 4. I don't want to use too much...want to make it last as long as I can. Any other advice for using it? Keeping it in the fridge. Thanks!
@capsterful I've never dropped it out, I just sort of squeeze out a small amount and slap it on....lol! I'm sure it may be more than 4 or 5 drops because I have a huge melon! Hmmm can't think of any tips apart from keeping it in the fridge.....oh I always try to remember all the little areas that I can sometimes forget? I know lame ;-P
I use it mostly for the sun protection benefits. The hydration is super nice too and helps keep the texture of my skin nice and soft. I haven't noticed anything else really but I think I'm just not there yet. For me it's more preventative and I LOVE it. Thanks for the additional info Koko it's always awesome to hear your opinion. <333
@00daisukidesu00 Well if you can, try to get a sample first because I would hate for you to save all your hard earned money and it not work for you! ;-D
i'm starting to see forehead wrinkles because i raise my eyebrows too much D= I asked my mum for anti-aging product to use and she gave me this.....I've been using it for a week and i definitely noticed the moisture effect and glow ! But the thing is that i'm 19 and i don't want to be using such strong and artificial product...like u said i should enjoy my youth and natural skin ! but then those lines are really irritating ! do you have any suggestions getting rid of forehead lines ?
@uohecc OMgosh darlin, please just enjoy 19! Aging is the one of the few things in life that's a guarantee and trust me, when you're 30, 40, 50 you will SO kick yourself in the arse that you didn't LOVE being 19. Okay enough with the lecture...lol! Unfortunately I don't have that issue so I don't have any suggestions. Perhaps someone reading might be able to help ;-D And please stop using the serum. You will want it to be effective when you actually need it;-)
Thanks for doing this video, I have been using the same serum for over 6 months and I have had great success with it! I intend on using it as part of my skincare forever!
I have learned so many valuable tips from you & appreciate your integrity!!!
@Beecozz7 Yay!! There's nothing like finding a product that's a keeper and really works!! Thanks for all the kind words and I'm so glad you find the channel helpful in some way;-))) I really appreciate you always taking the time to comment!! I always recognize your username ;-))))
koko, in my mind I am trying to justify the price of this product...and this is what I am saying to myself....for that kind of money I can get an IPL laser facial and take care of way more sun damage then that bottle can...
@MsTheBow Yes I totally agree! But CE Ferulic is not really meant specifically to reverse sun damage, it's to help prevent it. If you can afford IPL fantastic, I know that many can't afford the 3-6 or more treatments it may take and especially for Asian skin, IPL can sometime make the situation worse. There's an entire video on hyperpigmentaion on the channel ;-))) Bottom line, always do what YOU feel is best for your skin ;-)))
Hi kokolaroo! What a coincidence, I'm planning to buy some Skinceuticals later this month after I finish my current serum! ^^ The way you use it makes sense since it does improve the efficacy for chemical sunscreens, and shouldn't be used with retinoids. Since I am using a retinoid, I would also only use vit. C during the day ^^ Specifically, I'm eyeing the AOX+20 for day, and Phyto+ for night!
@innerchild9x Yay! I hope it works for you! I'm not sure about the AOX+20 but I've heard the phyto corrective gel is much better than phyto+ ......you may want to do some research on Makeupalley first ;-D
@kokolaroo Thanks for the reply ^^ I checked MUA, and it seems the Phyto+ is either a hit/miss for people and it's mainly for depigmenting problematic areas since it contains whitening ingred. like Kojic Acid and Arbutin, it's also contains glycerin so it's thicker and more moisturizing. The Phyto Corrective Gel doesn't have these 3 ingredients, it mainly serves to calm the skin. Well, that's what I've gathered anyway. I'll be sure to check with a professional before purchasing though!
@innerchild9x Thanks so much for posting all the info! It definitely serves to calm the skin but also contains Natural botanical glycosides — alternatives to hydroquinone to diminish brown spots.....keep me updated!! ;-D
Koko, your videos are my procrastination from revision (worth it though)! It always brightens up my day when I watch your videos (in a totally none creepy way) I know this is weird but I think I idolize your attitude, you should be on the View or something haha. Hope you are well! :)
@katanaxou aww thanks so much for all the "non creepy" words! There's no need to idolize my attitude as you probably have the same because you identify with it ;-)))
Now I've been using this since this year havent seen too much difference but if it stays on your skin for 3-4 days does that mean u would still put it on everyday?
@jeanwangg I usually apply it everyday because I love the glow I get from it but there are certainly times where I've skipped a day here and there ;-)))
wow. message recieved. I got it. I guess my "dupe" should go dow le drain. I will check with my retail site tomorrow if they still sell it. Thank u. U ROCK. I understand the whole deal now Do you use it once or twice a day? BTW, the "dupe" lacks the bacon smell. so its not the same/ No way
wow. message recieved. I got it. I guess my "dupe" should go dow le drain. I will check with my retail site tomorrow if they still sell it. Thank u. U ROCK. I understand the whole deal now
@susegold OMgosh, if your "dupe" works for you and you see results then keep using it.....All I know is that a few people emailed me letting me know that they finally purchased CE after trying the inexpensive dupe first and they noticed a huge difference between the 2, but hey everyone is different so just go with your own gut on this one ;-)))
@Nelalipe Well try to get your hands on a sample first maybe? I don't know if you can or not but most derm/medi spas may have them as Skinceuticals always usually supplies them......unfortunately I don't think I will be doing anymore OOTD....they just take too much work to set up as I don't use a little hand held camera ....;-)
I have loved the cosmetic skin solutions' versions of the ce ferulic, vitamin B, and phyto+ serums. I also refrigerate my serums to keep them from oxidizing.
Hey sunshine :-)) Great to see your beautiful face! I have to drag this sucker out of the fridge and start using it again...forgot about it for a while. Are you using a moisturizer over this? And just using it for daytime? Or night too?
@elainey0007 Hey Doll!!! LOVE it when you pop up every now and then!! I'm assuming nothing will ever lure you back again......so miss seeing your gorgeous mug!! Actually I shouldn't talk...I'm due for a bit of a break soon too, I get burnt out so fast these days....lol! Yes I always use moisturizer over it and I only use it in the day. Muwah! Don't be a stranger;-))))
@lilqtxanq3l CE Ferulic was the first Vit C product I ever tried and stuck with it ever since......I was sent one product for review last year and tried one other but didn't think either gave me as good a result as CE so to answer your question....No I don't have anything else to suggest but I'm sure there are many out there. I just haven't felt the need to search them out ;-)))
@kokolaroo I already wasted money on the CE Ferulic so I didn't feel comfortable buying the Phloretin CF to try since it's so expensive. I've tried their phyto+, daily moisture, Physical UV Defense SPF30 and Sheer Physical Defense SPF50. All of them are good except the two sunscreens and they're a bit oily on my face.
@Chubeauty Yes all the Skinceuticals sunscreens that I've tried (3) are very heavy creams which is why I love them but would probably be too much for oily skin. If you don't feel comfortable purchasing Phloretin then definitely DON'T......not every product will work wonders for everyone;-)))
I purchased this last year on your recommendation. CE Ferulic is a wonderful product. Have had so many comments about my skin when I apply it to my face. Also keeping it refridgerated tp prevent it from oxidizing. There was promotional offer on at my clinic. Buy 1 get 1 half price. Thanks
@michman27 Oh I'm sure you'll get it.....I don't know what's up with our post but it takes forever compared to the states! I think it took 7-10 days for me to get it but of course it's always different. When Gina sends me stuff from Cali it can sometimes take over 2 weeks!
I tried a couple of samples last summer and at first I loved it ( except for the smell of hot-dog...) . Then I discontinued using it for maybe six months and I tried it again last week. It had oxidized and it broke me out badly. So I'm still debating if I like it or not. Maybe I just used it along with the wrong products, but now I can't bring myself to try again.Have you some tips to share ?
great info. how do you know if it has oxidized? i've had my bottle for about half a year but just started using it. it's been kept in a drawer in my bedroom since
When I looked at the reviews on makeupalley so many people say it smells like hot dogs! Did you find that true?

@fairy4angel No I haven't, I'm not a huge fan of Mario Badescu...it's not a great fit for my skin. Since I've found my HG C serum I've had no need to try out any others unless they happen to be sent to me;-))) And since this particular serum is patented I know there won't be anything exactly like it and for better or for worse my skin LOVES it ;-)))

Ordered the phloretin cf(as i have combo skin), just received it yesterday, used it this morning. omg! amazing...i'm incredibly glad you reviewed it (again)!:) been searching for an alternative to hydroquinone and think this may be it. but i was wondering: do you use toner and if so, before or after your CE treatment? it looked so good upon immediate application after face washing that i was afraid to use toner. and was wondering how to travel with it too...can't go a day without this!
desormais22 9 months ago
@desormais22 Yay!! I'm so glad to hear that it's working for you;-)))) Yes definitely stop using hydroquinone, I'm sure it will be banned in the states as it is in many places in the world. I always use toner but you certainly don't have to. Serums are usually used before moisturizers, what you put on before that is up to you. ;-D

Just got mine in the mail and have been using it for 2 days now. Don't get a "glow" but it does feel nice on the skin. Got it for a really good price through a US site (I'm in Canada too) - $94.50! - If I stock up on my next order, do you know if they will keep as long as I don't open the bottles? As an aside, is it me or does it smell like bacon? =)

I got mine and have used it for two days now. How many drops do you use? The bottle says 4-5 drops. I've been using about 4. I don't want to use too much...want to make it last as long as I can. Any other advice for using it? Keeping it in the fridge. Thanks!

But the thing is that i'm 19 and i don't want to be using such strong and artificial product...like u said i should enjoy my youth and natural skin ! but then those lines are really irritating ! do you have any suggestions getting rid of forehead lines ?
uohecc 10 months ago
@uohecc OMgosh darlin, please just enjoy 19! Aging is the one of the few things in life that's a guarantee and trust me, when you're 30, 40, 50 you will SO kick yourself in the arse that you didn't LOVE being 19. Okay enough with the lecture...lol! Unfortunately I don't have that issue so I don't have any suggestions. Perhaps someone reading might be able to help ;-D And please stop using the serum. You will want it to be effective when you actually need it;-)

koko, in my mind I am trying to justify the price of this product...and this is what I am saying to myself....for that kind of money I can get an IPL laser facial and take care of way more sun damage then that bottle can...
What do you think of this thought?? Agree?
MsTheBow 10 months ago
@MsTheBow Yes I totally agree! But CE Ferulic is not really meant specifically to reverse sun damage, it's to help prevent it. If you can afford IPL fantastic, I know that many can't afford the 3-6 or more treatments it may take and especially for Asian skin, IPL can sometime make the situation worse. There's an entire video on hyperpigmentaion on the channel ;-))) Bottom line, always do what YOU feel is best for your skin ;-)))

Hi kokolaroo! What a coincidence, I'm planning to buy some Skinceuticals later this month after I finish my current serum! ^^ The way you use it makes sense since it does improve the efficacy for chemical sunscreens, and shouldn't be used with retinoids. Since I am using a retinoid, I would also only use vit. C during the day ^^ Specifically, I'm eyeing the AOX+20 for day, and Phyto+ for night!
innerchild9x 10 months ago
@innerchild9x Yay! I hope it works for you! I'm not sure about the AOX+20 but I've heard the phyto corrective gel is much better than phyto+ ......you may want to do some research on Makeupalley first ;-D
kokolaroo 10 months ago
@kokolaroo Thanks for the reply ^^ I checked MUA, and it seems the Phyto+ is either a hit/miss for people and it's mainly for depigmenting problematic areas since it contains whitening ingred. like Kojic Acid and Arbutin, it's also contains glycerin so it's thicker and more moisturizing. The Phyto Corrective Gel doesn't have these 3 ingredients, it mainly serves to calm the skin. Well, that's what I've gathered anyway. I'll be sure to check with a professional before purchasing though!

@kokolaroo I already wasted money on the CE Ferulic so I didn't feel comfortable buying the Phloretin CF to try since it's so expensive. I've tried their phyto+, daily moisture, Physical UV Defense SPF30 and Sheer Physical Defense SPF50. All of them are good except the two sunscreens and they're a bit oily on my face.
Chubeauty 10 months ago
@Chubeauty Yes all the Skinceuticals sunscreens that I've tried (3) are very heavy creams which is why I love them but would probably be too much for oily skin. If you don't feel comfortable purchasing Phloretin then definitely DON'T......not every product will work wonders for everyone;-)))
