What exactly is C E Ferulic?
C E Ferulic is our bestselling Vitamin C antioxidant serum. Below we will break down what this entails.
- Vitamin C – Also known as L-Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C is a skincare ingredient that not only improves visible signs of ageing, such as dark spots and fine lines, but brightens and brings a more luminous appearance to the complexion. Vitamin C isn’t naturally produced by the body, so along with incorporating it through eating specific foods, you can reap its benefits by applying it topically - directly onto the skin.
- Antioxidant – Antioxidants, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid, are molecules that neutralise free radicals, which are unstable atoms that can harm your cells on the upper layer of the skin. This means antioxidants can help protect the skin against excessive oxidative stress and environmental aggressors, such as UV and pollution, which can contribute to visible signs of skin ageing. Therefore, the best time to apply a Vitamin C serum is in the morning due to the environmental protection it provides the skin as you go about your day, when UV radiation is at its highest.
- Serum – When it comes to introducing Vitamin C into your routine, a serum is a great place to start. This is because serums have low molecular weights that absorb quickly into the skin while delivering active ingredients – such as Vitamin C – into the epidermis.

Why do experts recommend C E Ferulic?
Combining clinical procedures with advanced homecare is a technique favoured by Dr. Orla Grimes, a highly regarded specialist in Aesthetic Medicine:
“In my opinion, C E Ferulic is the star of antioxidant formulation. A synergistic combination of Vitamin C, E and Ferulic acid in a serum which is proven to provide the skin with up to 8 times its own natural photo protection. My clients quickly notice a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and an improvement in texture, radiance and tone, ensuring it remains ever popular.”
Along with Aesthetic Doctor, Dr Ana Mansouri:
"It really is the triple combination of antioxidants that makes [C E Ferulic] stand out as this means it provides up to an 8-fold amplification in free radical protection. I like to think of it essentially as an anti-ageing serum with superpowers.”
