Protect your skin from hyperpigmentation

We all enjoy soaking up the sun, but our skin risks premature aging and damage when overexposed to UV rays. Skinceuticals are the first to advise you to wear daily sunscreen and has added an extra precaution to ensure your skin stays clear and youthful.

The Dark Spot Serum – Skinceuticals Phloretin CF Serum

SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF serum is a powerful anti-spot and anti-wrinkle serum. Its watery formula is enriched with 10% pure vitamin C. Helping protect your skin from environmental aggressions and preventing skin aging; it targets Dark spots. Did you know sunspots are among the most common signs of skin damage?

The serum is designed to reduce the formation of free radicals within the skin. Doing this prevents and corrects pigment spots, smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, and brings radiance. Suitable for normal to oily skin, the serum works wonders on dull/ uneven complexions and pigmentations.

What's Inside?

Inside the SkinCeuticals Phloretin serum, there are three main active ingredients. Working in harmony, they prevent and correct skin hyperpigmentation related to exposure to UV rays. Functional for up to 72 hours on the skin, the formula is coloring, fragrance, gluten, and silicone-free.

• 10% pure Vitamin C – World famous for its powerful antioxidant properties, L-ascorbic acid neutralizes free radicals in the skin and protects from oxidative stress. This active has a global anti-aging action.
• 2% pure Phloretine – A naturally-sourced antioxidant found in fruit tree roots that helps to battle signs of aging and smoothes the skin tone.
• 0.5% Ferulic – An antioxidant acid that also neutralizes free radicals and boosts the two other actives properties. It is found in elements such as wheat, rice, peanuts, etc.

Why Can The Sun Cause Skin Pigmentation?

Many things can cause hyperpigmentation, but the sun is one of the most common. Hear me out! You will not come home with sun spots if you step out into the sun for short periods. Excess sun exposure over the years causes this type of pigmentation.

The skin produces Melanin, which is responsible for cell protection and colouring your skin. Melanin works by placing itself on top of your skin cells to shield them from UV rays. Depending on your skin carnation, you have more or less of these. When present in a too-large quantity, you will see the appearance of dark spots. Sunspots most often appear on surfaces exposed to the sun, like hands and the face.

My Review

This month it was time to up my skin protection routine. Although I wear sunscreen year-round, I wanted to ensure my skin was prepared for the hotter days ahead.

Skinceuticals Phloretin serum boosts your skin and preserves a youthful look. I love the light and fast-absorbing texture of the serum and have seen results in just two weeks of use.

I have a few dark spots on my face, affecting my confidence. So, I applied the serum daily and noticed that my dark spots had begun to fade in colour and size. Moreover, I will continue this serum throughout the summer for sure!

Skinceuticals Silymarin CF

After using it for about a month and a half, I looked in the mirror one day and realized that my acne scars had almost completely disappeared! Not only that, but my skin felt firmer and supple again.

Even though I have combination/oily skin, it has been surprisingly dry ever since I started using Skinceuticals Silymarin CF. My face is no longer as oily as it used to be, which is another plus for me. It also helped clear up some of my acne breakouts while also preventing new ones from popping up on my face.

The price may seem steep at first, but when you think about how many products you would need to buy separately in order to achieve similar results (and then add up all of those costs), you'll realize that it's actually quite affordable!

Key Ingredients

Skinceuticals Silymarin CF is a powerful antioxidant formula that helps defend against environmental damage and visible signs of aging.

Silymarin CF contains 0.5% silymarin (milk thistle extract), 15% l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 0.5% ferulic acid and 0.5% salicylic acid.

These ingredients work together to help defend against environmental aggressors that can cause oxidative damage, leading to acne-induced inflammation and the visible signs of aging such as fine lines.

Benefits And My Review

• Reduces oiliness and breakouts.

• Improves clarity and texture of the skin.

• Delivers advanced environmental protection.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience using Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum. It works extremely well as a mild exfoliant and overall anti-aging treatment. And I’d recommend it to anyone looking for these benefits in their skincare routine. If you have oily or sensitive skin, definitely give Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum a try!

After this serum, I love following up with my favourite moisturizer, Triple Lipid Restore. It is nourishing as well as soothing to the skin.
