SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Serum

Product Information

Pure vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid): lauded for its superior antioxidant benefits, this highly potent form of pure vitamin C neutralizes damaging free radicals and protects against oxidative stress while providing visible anti-aging benefits. SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Antioxidant Vitamin C Discoloration Serumis a patented triple antioxidant formulation that visibly improves the appearance of discoloration, fine lines and uneven skin tone. This potent vitamin C serum features a synergistic combination of 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid. These antioxidants provide powerful antioxidant protection against atmospheric skin aging – environmental damage and premature signs of aging caused by free radicals from UVA/UVB, infrared radiation (IRA), and ozone pollution (O3). This antioxidant combination isn’t as well-researched as Vitamin C + Vitamin E + ferulic acid, so it may be less effective.

KEY INGREDIENTS & BENEFITS: Ferulic Acid (neutralizes free radicals, helps inhibits UV-induced skin discolorations, and has anti-inflammatory properties) But I love fragrance-free products. Fragrance is one of the most (if not the most) irritating ingredient in skincare products. By taking it out, you greatly lower the risk someone will have an allergic reaction to it.Green: It’s effective, proven to work, and helps the product do the best possible job for your skin. Evidence is now emerging in support of the PI3K/Akt pathway of NF-κB activation which is targeted by phloretin. Readers should bear in mind that this pathway is far too complex and in some cases, inhibition of the pathway displays protective effects while in others, it worsens the inflammation (see review, [ 121]). More research is thus needed to ascertain the significance of either enhancing or suppressing the PI3K/Akt pathway by phloretin. Ferulic Acid: A plant-based antixoidant, ferulic acid neutralizes free radicals and enhances the antixoidant benefits of phloretin and vitamins C and E. Having said this, everyone’s skin is different. If your skin is particularly sensitive to alcohol denat and doesn’t tolerate it well,this serum isn’t for you. But if you use alcohol together with moisturizing ingredients, they’ll counteract its drying effects. Science confirms this. Recent studies show that alcohol isn’t as drying as we once thought.

Suppresses the production of ROS and proinflammatory cytokines; inhibits MAPKs (ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK), and NF-κB.

Phloretin CF provides powerful antioxidant protection, suitable for Normal, Oily and Combination skin types to improve discolouration, fine lines and wrinkles with its blend of phloretin, vitamin C and ferulic acid. The best vitamin C serums have the power to promote the skin’s collagen and elastin production, neutralise free radicals from environmental stress, and brighten the complexion – helping to fade and prevent hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C – the ingredient also known as ascorbic acid or l-ascorbic acid – really is an anti-ageing powerhouse, but not all skincare formulas centred on the antioxidant are made equal.
