Vitamin C in dermatology

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant drug that can be used topically in dermatology to treat and prevent changes associated with photoageing. It can also be used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Because it is unstable and difficult to deliver into ...

A Skincare Scientist Explains Why This Cult $228 Serum Is Worth the Money

Dr Michele Squire explains why SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is the gold standard of vitamin C serums (and why it's so bloody expensive).

PRETTY FUCKING EXPENSIVE, RIGHT?

MAKE THE PATENTED FORMULA AT HOME YOURSELF FOR ~$50 TO YIELD A NET ~150mL OF SERUM

THATS $0.33 per mL
COMPARED TO $5.53 per mL

AKA ~1/17th OF THE SELLING PRICE...

DIY C&E with Ferulic Acid

We’ve had so many requests for a DIY C&E with Ferulic serum that we set about to duplicate it for you. Like the original patented CE Ferulic by SkinCeuticals, this serum contains 15% L-Ascorbic Acid with 1% Tocopherol and Ferulic Acid to stabilize it. CE Ferulic is an antioxidant combination...

theres a reason why they patented the formula, it works

they also patented the pH (2.5-3.5), timeless is 2.4 and all other vitamin C products are out of this optimal range among other shit

also, all the anecdotes say that timeless doesnt do much to their skin from what i've read - see it for yourself

im skeptical of its efficacy

it's somewhat similar, though I doubt they have the research behind their formulation that Skinceuticals does

skinceuticals has been known to make the best in class vit C serum for a long time now

the diy is cheaper than the one you linked ($0.8 per mL vs $0.3 per mL) - personally i dont see any reason to buy it honestly

@BOTB can't we just dissolve 1000mg vitamin C,400IU vitamin e and ferulic acid in water and apply it in face?
would literally cost a 15 bucks

:lul:

remember that actual research has been done on the formula for years so they probably tried that at one point too and obviously it wasnt successful

Yeah other formulas aren't 'optimal' but what is non-optimal? For all you know timeless is 7.5x as effective, so not much difference.

theres no way to tell apart from unreliable anecdotes

however there must be a pretty good reason for them to patent the pH and formula

logically, they wouldn't have patented it if the same formula worked as good outside of the pH range or ingredients

Elastin production after childhood (at the latest) is almost entirely non-functional.

@Cope what was the ph level you said vitamin c needed to absorb into the skin

I don't know anything about vitamin c for skin, but vinegar has similar ph I think (2.5-3.5) Is that good for skin?
 
So whats the best skincare ingredient this vitamin c and what else? I heard neem oil is good?
 
This is the 168th time I've seen beauty products claiming to be 'incredibly effective' because of their 'patented formula'.

Considering the ridiculous pricing, just seems like a jewish scam tbh.

due to study results on topical vit c using this particular formula, i think any other vit c serum on the market is probably worse
 
Why not just get the topical vitamin c from 'The Ordinary' foids swear by this

Timeless is legit, it’s a dupe of the c e ferulic acid from skinceuticals
 
I can remember reading blogs where they swore by Paula's Choice C15 booster. It has Vit C and Ferulic acid combo as well.
