I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product.
Intially I was worried the oily consistency would cause Acne ( which I'm quickly prone to) but it hasnt for the last 3 months and this is one product that lives up the hype.. I'm of a darker complexion so getting rid of scars and seeing noticeable differences takes a lot more patience, but this totally works. And the oily consistency only lasts for a moment but after absorbed by your skin it's pretty matte and makes my skin look great under makeup. Not only does it lift scars but it's reported to improve the efficacy of Sunscreens as well. I also have no problems using it interchangeably with Prescription Retinoids and Salicylic acid products. Buttt my only concern is the packaging, due to the fact that it's open to he air it may change the efficacy of the product over time, as L-asorbic acid is very unstable.. and the amount of $$$ it costs it would suck if half the time I use the product it's lost it's ability to do the things I bought it for. An Airtight container would be a great way to make this product even better. ;) April 12, 2008, 10:55 am

I'd been using Prevage underneath my SPF moisturizer for over a year and I felt like I needed a boost. I'd read that the C E Ferulic was among the best antioxidant products on the market and thought that its water like texture would work well underneath the Prevage and my SPF moisturizer, Clinique's Repairwear SPF 15 Day Lotion.
I noticed instant results...my skin was brighter and more even right off the bat. The longer I've used it, the more I notice reduced pore size and diminished redness. I'm also confident that the long term benefits are going to make the biggest impact. I get the feeling that I've got the best como possible as far as prevention...two kinds of the best antioxidants, and another antioxidant rich moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF protection.
My only issue with this product is the packaging. Given it's water like texture, you have to be very careful with the dropper. Also, I can't help but get the feeling that the air exposure from the time the dropper is off is impacting the products effecacy. Why can't it just come in a pump and maybe a gel-like texture?

Yes, it is. I started using it b/c my dermy told me I was at high risk for skin cancer, and this has been shown to help prevent it. I know it's expensive, and I know it doesn't smell all flowery, but my god, it's so worth it! My skin looked better within a week of using it (and my skin looked pretty good before!), and when I use it under my sunblock, I haven't freckled or burned at all, which I used to with just SPF. And even though it's expensive, it lasts a long time, because you only use a few drops each day. February 28, 2008, 12:28 pm

As always, I will refer to scientific studies when I review most of the products I am loyal to. The VAST majority of high profile derms endorse and USE this product. Studies show the combination of antioxidants PLUS the Ferulic acid somehow make each more effective than if used alone. I LOVE that they fight free radicals and help me prevent anymore sundamage than I already have! December 28, 2007, 11:29 am

I've had some skin cancer issues and my dermatologist suggested that I try the Skin Ceuticals C E Ferulic on a daily basis. I have fair Irish skin and I've done my share of sun bathing. I'm in my early 50's and I've spent thousands of dollars on skin care products. This is the first product that I've used where I could actually see results within several days. I've only been using it for a month now but my skin has a great glow. I use it every morning and I follow up with the B5 Gel. If you're concerned about aging, sun damaged skin and if you've started to see some age spots, I'd defninitely recommend this product. It's money very well spent! November 29, 2007, 5:55 pm

My facialist recommended this product as an adjunct to sunscreen. Its smell takes a little getting used to (it's been described as something akin to frying bacon) but it'll grow on you. I love the glow it gives my face and have gotten lots of compliments on how great my skin looks. It's pricey but a bottle lasts quite a while. I read somewhere you don't have to use it absolutely every day so on days I don't go outside (sometimes happens; I work from home) I sometimes cheat and skip an application.

This serum has brought back the glow to my skin. Use in am and make sure to use effective sunblock. Price is a little steep at $135, but can be used on alternate days (product is effective on skin for four days) but you won't want to once you get hooked on the glow. Also helps to heal sunburned skin. At the chemical level, ferrulic acid helps to stabilize the highly unstable L-ascorbic acid, I don't know of a more stable (aka effective) preparation on the market. April 23, 2008, 6:33 am

I've been using CE Ferulic for 2 months now and absolutely love it!! My skin tone is clearer, brigher and smoother. I noticed immediate results but definitely see a greater difference after using this religiously for 2 months.
I've tried so many other high priced serums and haven't liked anything as much as this one. (la mer, Leif and Rusher etc..) The only negative is that it doesn't smell very good. It's a wonderful product. February 25, 2008, 7:39 pm

i have to say, at first, i was kinda 'meh' about this- didn't see any radical changes immediately. but i decided since it was so expensive, i'd use up the bottle. when i stopped using it, i could se the difference! my skin looked terrible! so now i'm on my umpteenth bottle of this stuff. this is a must-have in my (rather large) beauty arsenal. i've tried tons of vit. c products and this is my fave. *note* i have tough oily skin so this may not be the best product for sensitive skin types.
