Would u recomend the CE feluric to a young woman about 21 years old? Or is it too strong for such age? At what age this product would be a good option?

At this point I'm not considering the cost.
Thanks a lot

I would say at 21 years old prevention and protection is the key. I wish I had started in my 20s.

Vit C is a powerful antioxidant and combined with sunscreen would be a great skincare combination to start in your 20s. For sure

I did use this product but I do find DIY is better and fresher. There's nothing worse that starting with oxidised Vit C products at such a young age. As for being too strong it really depends on her skin type.

Dione, thanks for the comments. It makes sense to start early...

I would say as long as it doesn't sting too much - use and benefit from the antioxidants at an early age!

I think I wouldn’t suggest CE feluric, but would definitely second the idea that prevention is better than cure, so would say use a good sunscreen and moisturise with the best you can get. From what I remember CE feluric is good for some, but some have said they didn’t see anything. A young 21 year old woman can probably get away with using something less pricey and more effective.

I use EmergenC 20 % (sold at EDS by the way as an alternative to very pricy Skinceutical CE Ferulic.

It is a also a powerful Vic C serum (20%),
comes in airtight bottle, so no oxidation
but doesn't have Ferulic acid
I add Vit E every night anyway.

But I wonder is there is someone here who used both and can compare the EmergenC serum to Skinceutical... Is there any benefit in going for the pricier Skinceutical?

Please share..

What would you suggest in its stead?

I get the BEST results from vitamin C serum when I use it every other day for a few months, and then give myself a 2 or 3 week break.

Not sure why it works so well for me that way, but I always have the best response when I keep my skin guessing. I'm also the less is more sort.

This part makes me chuckle.

As if your skin is a boyfriend.

Personally, I've always wished I had started my skin care a LOT sooner. My skin is still very good with few problems, but I may have prevented these two lines under my eyes that I hate if I had begun in my early 20s. Very Happy

I know you said that you weren't considering the cost of the Skinceuticals CE Ferulic but you should know that you can get ALL of the ingredients to make a DIY serum for a LOT less money. I have purchased very expensive face products in the past but $153 per month is just unbelievable to me, unless that is the one and ONLY way to get those ingredients.

Skinceuticals has a patent on this particular formula. You can find Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Ferulic in other formulas but the C is not the same strength or type as what is in the Skinceuticals. So you're paying for a patent. However, you are able to make a DIY serum with the exact same ingredients for a lot less cost and your DIY serum will be a lot fresher. My personal recommendation would be to do it this way. Smile

This is good advice. I found if I applied Vitamin C serum too often, my skin seemed MORE stressed out. It is an acid after all.

Taking a break from it could be beneficial. Not to mention less costly.

What I found is that when I used it daily, for several months, I started to not notice the *glow* I had begun to enjoy, wasn't as noticeable... So I backed off for a while, and then resumed using it every two or three days, for another 6 or so weeks, and my skin began to respond positively again.

I find myself doing this with the majority of topicals I use, and (for me) it really works out well. I just keep changing things up a little, take breaks, and that is how I seem to keep the positive results coming.

Once my skin gets acclimated to something, I stop getting the *wow* factor. We're all so different, so that's just my take on it.
