Apply in the Morning Antioxidants are best applied in the morning, after cleansing and toning and before applying your other skin care products, including your moisturizer.

That's it—and a far cry from my previous obsession with a regimented seven-step process. By no means does this product make me immune to acne eating dairy always does me in , but when I do get a cystic pimple, it heals quickly and doesn't scar like it used to.

It helps deal with hyper-pigmentation of the skin which I suffered from , even out your tone, and over time, give you that 'lit from within' brightness. Because your skin is exposed to things like environmental pollutants and sun damage, your face is breeding ground for free radicals. Free radicals can make your skin more prone to damage , which is why you need potent antioxidants in your skincare routine.

Paraben is a popular chemical preservative found in lots of non-natural products. For those with sensitive skin like me, it's best to stick to paraben-free formulas, like this magical potion. Don't let this one-ounce bottle fool you: I've used it twice-daily for almost four months and I still have a few weeks to spare.

Name any other miracle skincare product you only buy three times a year? I'll wait. On Dermstore alone, the C E Ferulic serum has over 1, reviews, 87 percent of which are rated at five stars.

It's also important to note that the bottle itself is darkened on purpose since light exposure is known to break down vitamin C, but I try to keep my bottle out of direct sunlight, regardless. Less is more when it comes to such a potent serum. I only use three drops at a time, which I apply directly onto my face — so I don't waste any product on my hands while transferring. To err on the safe side, I started off using it every other day before building up to daily use — which is what Henry recommends for sensitive skin.

And as with any vitamin C products used during the daytime, applying sunscreen is a must due to increased photosensitivity. As for the hefty price tag, Henry informs me that SkinCeuticals happened to be one of the first companies to come up with this near-magical combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid in , backed by ample scient i fic research and resulting in a "patent for stabilized ascorbic acid," she notes.

The fact that its reign continues on today makes sense to me — I've definitely seen a decrease in my redness since I started using it, and any acne discoloration most recently, from a pimple in the area between my brows disappears without a trace.

Henry notes that the price also depends on what your bottom line is. If you just want glowy skin, there are lots of less-pricey and, most likely, less-concentrated options. Though I don't have any fine lines yet , my attitude is all about prevention.
