Pros & Cons
Pros
I love how the newly formulated ce is so perfect for my skin. Great way to protect your skin from the ravages of environmental oxidants. Follows with whatever moisturizer i'm using.
It's really amazing how much surface area a dropper full with cover. I hope this can be of help to other buyers, since it is such an important piece of information.
Cons
If l'oreal (which owns skinceuticals) cannot stabilize their vitamin c, how can this smaller company (subject to less checks and balances) achieve that at this price?
After a months use no visible difference. My entire face looks like i have a rash of pimples. I have oily skin and it makes my face look too oily.
This time the product appears to have been rebranded and repackaged. Upon opening it there's a rancid smell. This product smells terrible, is very thick goes on sticky when it dries parches out your skin.
Highlights
Quality
Its properties are to enhance penetration of active ingredients deeper into the layers beneath the epidermis and adjust ph values
This increases absorption and thereby effectiveness of active ingredients
Its nowhere near as good as this product and a bottle lasts about 12 as long as this product
I have used the product for 2 weeks i dont expect to see results for at least 1 month
Price
A great price for vitamin c serum
This is a great dupe for that crazy expensive product
I can afford a 40 bottle a couple of times per year
I think this one is around 40 and the original was like 160
Shipping
A few weeks after ordering this on amazon skinceuticals sent me a free sample bottle of their ce ferulic
Packaging/appearance
Came well packaged and clear as water with no smell
As a long time customer they have evolved in their packaging and the serum itself
Competitiveness
Sc has built a huge following with their branding but its not worth 4x the price for basically the same ingredients that severa... Read More
If other companies can make the same product for just 2030 of the cost then its my feeling sc is making us feel like theirs is ... Read More
But it did allow me to do a sidebyside comparison of this product and the skinceuticals one

The eyedropper bottle is little but you only need a little bit for the whole face and one unit lasted me more than 3 months

Vitamin c is a powerful antioxidant so this is not a moisturizer and it smells a little like vinegar

I did some research and i cant tell the difference because they are almost exactly alike
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only difference is a slight difference in ph because skin c has a patent on their product
