A: Phloretin CF is a vitamin C serum that protects the skin from damage caused by environmental aggressors. It is a combination of antioxidant ingredients that help to neutralize free radicals.

A: Apply your favorite SkinCeuticals sunscreen after using phloretin serum for effective protection from the sun.

A: Yes, you can use Phloretin CF with Retinol. Apply Phloretin CF vitamin C serum in the morning, and then use Retinol at night.

A: C E Ferulic® and Phloretin CF are similar formulations, as both contain L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C)- and ferulic acid. C E Ferulic® contains 15% L-ascorbic acid while Phloretin CF is formulated with 10% L-ascorbic acid. They also differ in that Phloretin CF contains phloretin instead of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). The phloretin ingredient in Phloretin CF helps improve the appearance of discoloration, while alpha-tocopherol in C E Ferulic® works synergistically with vitamin C to help neutralize free radicals. C E Ferulic® is recommended for those targeting fine lines and wrinkles while Phloretin CF is recommended to help improve the appearance of skin tone evenness.

A: Vitamin C serums, including Phloretin CF vitamin C serum, get darker after opening due to exposure to light and air. L-ascorbic acid may discolor with time, but oxidation is minimal and the formulation is proven to remain effective up to 6 months after opening.

A: It’s recommended that you use a bottle of Phloretin CF serum within three months of opening it. All SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulations have been tested in final packaging and have been confirmed to remain stable and effective for 30-36 months, and up to 6 months after opening. L-ascorbic acid may discolor with time, but oxidation is minimal and the formulation is proven to remain effective.

A: Yes, it is recommended to pair Phloretin CF serum with a broad spectrum sunscreen to provide maximum protection from the sun’s UVA/UVB rays and visible signs of aging.

A: You can start to see results from Phloretin CF as quickly as four to six weeks. After 12 weeks, you can start to see marked improvements like more even skin tone, increased radiance, and reduced discoloration.

A: Phloretin CF can be used under and around the eyes but should not be used directly on the eyelids.

Love it!

It is a little pricey but definitely worth it.

Quick, noticeable results - worth the investment!

My skin is noticeably brighter, and the sun spots on my forehead are barely visible now. My skin is clear and I am actually somewhat comfortable not wearing makeup for the first time in years. I didn't find it to cause any tingling sensation.

Love it

I have been using the CE serum for two years and bought this just to see whether there was a significant difference. I prefer the smell of the CE, but this is just as effective, if not more when it comes to hyperpigmentation. I have a dark mustache that I don’t even remember having until I go a week without my skinceuticals serum.
