Q: What is the difference between C E Ferulic and Phloretin CF?

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.
