When I started my career as a beauty writer in 2012, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic was already a household name. Beloved by many (including everyone in my magazine’s beauty department), the vitamin C serum earned its place in the skincare Hall of Fame thanks to its brightening properties, its science-backed formula and its unique hot-dog-water smell. It’s *the* formula that put the antioxidant on the map. Today, the ingredient is considered an essential for all skin types and tones as it helps to protect from environmental stressors, boost collagen production and minimize and prevent sun spots. Two decades after its launch, C E Ferulic is still considered the gold standard of vitamin C serums by dermatologists, even with its hefty $200 price tag.
