After waiting days for Blue Mercury to ship out this product, I was super disappointed. To start, I could smell the distinctive Skinceuticals vitamin c smell before ever opening the product itself. My next issue was with the color. I’ve used several bottles of C E Ferulic/Phloretin CF over the years and know that they vary in color, but nothing like this. The product I received was DARK in color as if the bottle had sat open for months. I’ve never had this experience before when I’ve purchased this product from other companies. BlueMercury customer service will provide a refund once I go through the hassle of returning the product. How inconvenient to go through the return process for an expired (and expensive) product that’s of no use.

I wanted so badly to like CE ferulic, but found it really did clog my pores, so I switched to this. The pros for this product are that it feels light in texture, does not smell too badly, and definitely does not clog my pores. The minuses would be the packaging, as many other people mention. The wide-ish mouth on the bottle is worrisome due to oxidization, and I don't love the dropper. When I put product in my palm, trying to apply quickly without losing any, I have this fear of the bottle tipping over. I actually visualize money going down the drain. Obviously the price point is high, but I wouldn't have a problem paying for it if they could just do some thing about the packaging, and perhaps offer a higher percent of vitamin C. I wish that a higher strength was ... MoreI wanted so badly to like CE ferulic, but found it really did clog my pores, so I switched to this.

I wish that a higher strength was offered in an acne prone skin-friendly formula. C E ferric seems more targeted toward fine lines and wrinkles, while this product seems more for discoloration. I really want the full anti-aging benefits without having to deal with clogged pores or break outs. This is definitely a go-to product in terms of knowing it is safe for my skin, but I am currently giving Allies of Skin a whirl, as the airless pump is great.

In the past, I’d tried the other two Vitamin C serums offered by SkinCeuticals, but found neither worked well with my skin. The original was too emollient feeling and Silymarin felt too heavy, especially in warmer weather. Phloretin is the proverbial “just right.” It absorbs nicely, dries in anbout five minutes and provides a good base for my sunscreen. It has diminished a patch of melasma on my left cheek and lightened sunspots. A bonus: I haven’t noticed more spots developing. I can’t say that my skin looks brighter, but it certainly feels better in terms of being balanced and fresh. Highly recommended.

I have used SkinCeuticals products for years. I use C E Ferulic (am), Phyto Corrective Gel (am&pm), Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier (am), and Discoloration Defense (pm). I will occasionally buy an eye cream and a moisturizer; however I do not buy them very often as I already spend a lot of money on my favorite products. I will continue to use the products as they have helped my skin so much! The discoloration / sun spots on my face have gotten lighter over time. My skin is clear and vibrant, with very few wrinkles. I often get complements on my skin....... and that is pretty special since I am 71 years old! THANK YOU SKINCEUTICALS FOR MAKING QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT ACTUALLY DO AS PROMISED!
I received a full size sample of Phloretin when buying a bunch of other Skinceutical products. I've never had sensitive skin, and never had a problem with this brand before. It took a few times for me to build up a sensitivity to this product, but after a week or two, i started having red rough swollen and severely itchy skin, particularly near my eyebrows. Since i'd used it for a while, i didn't realize the cause. I took away all products , healed up, and then starting adding them back. This emerged as the culprit. It was a sample, so i'm not out anything, but a warning to others, i think it's clear from my experience and the other reviews that Phloretin is prone to causing unpleasant reactions.
I’m one of those people who has tried C E Ferulic over and over again, only to experience clogged pores and break outs every time. I had to make peace with the fact that it’s simply not an appropriate formula for my aging, acne prone skin. The main culprit is not vitamin E like many people think, but Laureth 23, a well documented and known comedogenic “texture enhancing” ingredient. Why SkinCeuticals chooses to use that as the 3rd or 5th ingredient in product ls that only contain 6-9 ingredients is beyond me. This is not an active, it’s about texture in the formulation, and while I’m not a cosmetic chemist, I know there are plenty of other ingredients out there that could be used alternately, that will not cause breakouts and clogged pores. They also have Laureth 23 ... MoreI’m one of those people who has tried C E Ferulic over and over again, only to experience clogged pores and break outs every time.

This is not an active, it’s about texture in the formulation, and while I’m not a cosmetic chemist, I know there are plenty of other ingredients out there that could be used alternately, that will not cause breakouts and clogged pores. They also have Laureth 23 in their Silymarin, which is specifically marketed for oily, acne prone skin. So frustrating! While their product can claim to be oil free and non-comedogenic, it’s important to remember that these things are not regulated by the FDA or any other agency, so they are essentially just words. You have to ingredient check if you are breakout prone. You can have a popular product with a lot of buzz, expensive, makes big claims-but at the end of the day you’re not going to continue using it if it’s breaking you out. Not worth it. I’m happy to report that Phloretin does NOT cause or exacerbate acne. The pros of the formula are that it’s fairly lightweight, not especially sticky, and doesn’t smell awful-though honestly, if a product works really well, I’m gonna be able to get over the smell. Phloretin wears really well under sunscreen and makeup, which is huge. Again, you can have the best product in the world, but if it’s balling up and feels awful under sun protection, you won’t want to keep purchasing. I have not noticed any pilling when I layer this, so that’s great! Glides on, is non-irritating for me, and soaks in pretty quickly. Did I mention it does not break me out? As for efficacy, it seems to have mild brightening effects, but I can’t really say if it’s done anything for fine lines and wrinkles. This is a lower percentage vitamin C, and I do wish I could get something as potent as the CE ferulic in a non pore clogging formula like Phloretin. I know a lot of people love the brand, and I’ve given multiple formulations a true shot, purchasing bottle after bottle. There’s nothing in the line I absolutely can’t live without. This is definitely my favorite product though. My major complaint besides the addition of comedogenic ingredients in some products is the packaging. A lot of people take issue with it. High-quality vitamin C product is absolutely a worthwhile investment, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask that our investment be protected. An airless pump bottle like drunk elephant (I do not like their vitamin C product AT ALL, as it also contains Laureth 23, but the packaging is smart and cute!) or Allies of Skin packaging would be SO smart for SkinCeuticals to offer. I feel the opening of the bottle is wider than it needs to be, and the dropper itself wide and clunky. I put the product in the palm of my hand (enough with these advertisements and images of people putting the dropper right against their face, UGH) and apply with my fingers, so I’m not really able to close the bottle during application. I worry about oxidization, and possibly tipping it over. Visions of it spilling haunt me. I literally picture of money going down the drain. A popular YouTube dermatologist mentioned that she stocks up on the smaller, travel bottles/promos to make sure she is using the SkinCeuticals vit C up quickly, but as far as I know, these aren’t readily available for regular purchase. There might be a promo here in there for a free bottle of tiny CE ferulic with purchase, But that’s not the same as being able to stock up. We know most vitamin C is just not super stable, so an airless pump seems to be a better option. Really don’t understand why a brand as popular and $$ as SkinCeuticals is not on this. I think they offer one vitamin C product in an airless pump, a different version of Phloretin, but it contains silicone, which is a turn off for me. I feel like silicone in an antioxidant product is sort of blocking it from really being absorbed properly, but I digress. If SkinCeuticals revamped some formulas so as to not contain Laureth 23, consider different packaging, and offer Phloretin CF in a higher percentage vitamin C, I’d be ALL over it! For now, I’m happy to say I at least know Phloretin won’t break me out, and feels like it’s doing some nice things for my skin. We aren’t talking super marked improvement though. Nice enough product, feels good, safe for acne prone skin, but certainly with room for improvement at this price point, imo.
This bottle and applicator is designed to spill. I bought this hesitantly because of the healthy price tag of $200. Only because my dermatologist recommended it. They must make a ton of money off of it. I do not recommend it. It's way too expensive for what you get. I spilled it not once but twice trying to be very careful. The way the applicator fits inside the bottle it is designed to tip over and spill. What an expensive spill, not once but twice. Half of the bottle ended up on my vanity countertop unusable, so basically $100 wasted in seconds. Save yourself the trouble and go find a vit c oil that is much cheaper online that does the same job.
I have loved and used this product for 4 years. It’s expensive but absolutely worth it. For anyone using the Yuka app, it also scores almost perfectly for being non toxic. That said, I unfortunately noticed recently that the formula changed. At first I thought I had received the incorrectly labeled product, but after ordering a second, it’s the same thing. Even my sample is the old product, so I’ve been able to better compare. I noticed some other reviews also calling this out. The new version appears more clear and more watery than the original. I know this product changes color over time, but the consistency, scent and color are all different now. I’m hoping this isn’t a sacrifice in quality, and I’m disappointed to have to test out a new product after having it ... MoreI have loved and used this product for 4 years.

I have struggled with minor hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and forehead starting around the age of 40. I have tried vitamin C serums from the highest rating serums on Amazon to Neutrogena. The previous serums gave me an immediate stinging sensation when applied and always gave off a coffee smell that was overpowering when it was sitting on my skin. I was hesitant to try SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Antioxidant Vitamin C Discoloration Serum due to my previous side effects from other serums and because of the price. I chose this particular serum due to the positive reviews for oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. First, I would like to say that I have had none of the previous side effects at all with this product and my hyperpigmentation issues have gone away.

I religiously use the serum daily in the morning along with my Skin Ceuticals hydrating B5 gel, moisturizer and ISDIN sunscreen. Although the bottle is small, it lasts a very long time. Money well spent and yes it works.
