The good news is it is skin safe: no denatured alcohol, no fragrance, no essential oils. It's got a bit of a funky smell, but that's fine, it is what the ingredient is. It's got 15% ascorbic acid, so that's pure vitamin C, and again, too strong for skin of color. It's not in an airless pump.

A higher-end option that I love is the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. This one is considered to be the GOAT, the gold standard vitamin C, with 15% L-ascorbic acid along with ferulic acid and vitamin C. I have literally seen this transform people's skin in real time, as someone who's been practicing for the last 15 years.

Where they part company

Dr. Vanita Rattan calls SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic skip. Dr. Mamina calls it approved. Two experts, one product, takes 10 days apart, and opposite conclusions. Their own words are above; we are not going to tell you which of them is right.

What the whole panel says

These two are not the only voices on SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. Across every independent expert take we hold, it carries a Guru Score of 75% from 33 experts, which is the share of them who approved it. The other 31 experts we hold takes from are counted in it too. See every take on it →

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
