SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Vitamin C Salicylic Acid Antioxidant Serum 30ml

The SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF is a targeted antioxidant facial serum designed for oily and blemish-prone skin types. It combines a potent blend of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 0.5% ferulic acid, and 0.5% salicylic acid with silymarin, an extract derived from milk thistle. This formulation aims to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously, working to neutralise environmental free radicals, reduce excess sebum production, and improve the appearance of skin clarity and texture. The serum features a lightweight, fast-absorbing consistency that avoids leaving a heavy or sticky residue on the skin. The inclusion of 15% vitamin C and ferulic acid provides antioxidant protection to help defend against daily environmental aggressors like pollution and UV exposure, which can contribute to premature ageing. The 0.5% salicylic acid offers a gentle exfoliating action to help clear pores and refine skin's surface, while the silymarin (milk thistle extract) is included for its purported oil-regulating and soothing properties. This product is particularly suited for those with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin seeking a multifunctional treatment. It is designed for daily use, typically applied in the morning after cleansing and before moisturiser and sunscreen. The formula aims to promote a more mattified, even-toned complexion over time, helping to reduce the appearance of shine and support clearer-looking skin. As with any potent serum, it is advisable to introduce it gradually into a skincare routine and always follow with broad-spectrum sun protection.
