Protocol:

¹ PROTOCOL: a 12-week, investigator graded clinical study conducted in the USA on 64 women ages 25-60, Fitzpatrick types I-VI with mild to moderate dullness, discoloration, and uneven skin tone. Phloretin CF was applied every morning in conjunction with a sunscreen and basic moisturizer, used as needed.
² PROTOCOL: 24-week clinical study conducted on 35 female subjects, ages 35–65 (USA, 2008). Percentages reported are average results.

In the morning after cleansing and toning, apply 4-5 drops to a dry face, neck, and chest before other skincare products. May be used on the back of the hands. It is normal for vitamin C products to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. The formula will remain effective. Once opened, it is recommended to be used within 3 months of opening.

Complete your regimen with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. When used together, SkinCeuticals antioxidants and broad spectrum sunscreens provide the most complete protection against visible aging caused by environmental aggressors.

SkinCeuticals research shows that specific combinations of antioxidants, when effectively formulated, provide superior results to each single antioxidant formulation.

Phloretin CF is a triple antioxidant cocktail formulation shown to provide broad-range environmental protection due to a synergistic combination of 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid. It is formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent. Vitamin C is a highly-potent antioxidant that is, by its structure, difficult to effectively deliver on skin. The Duke Antioxidant patent describes the formulation parameters required for effective delivery of vitamin C to skin: 1) pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C); 2) an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and; 3) a concentration between 10%-20%. SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these parameters.

2% PHLORETIN
Derived from apples and the root bark of fruit trees including apple, pear, and grapefruit, this antioxidant neutralizes damaging free radicals, helps improve cell turnover, and improves the appearance of discoloration
10% 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
0.5% FERULIC ACID
A plant-based antioxidant, ferulic acid neutralizes free radicals and enhances the antioxidant benefits of phloretin and vitamins C and E

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Phloretin CF Questions

C E Ferulic and Phloretin CF are similar formulations, as both contain L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C)- and ferulic acid. C E Ferulic contains 15% L-ascorbic acid while Phloretin CF is formulated with 10% L-ascorbic acid. They also differ in that Phloretin CF contains phloretin instead of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E). The phloretin ingredient in Phloretin CF helps improve the appearance of discoloration, while alpha-tocopherol in C E Ferulic works synergistically with vitamin C to help neutralize free radicals. C E Ferulic is recommended for those targeting fine lines and wrinkles while Phloretin CF is recommended to help improve the appearance of skin tone evenness.

It’s recommended that you use a bottle of Phloretin CF serum within three months of opening it. All SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulations have been tested in final packaging and have been confirmed to remain stable and effective for 30-36 months, and up to 6 months after opening. L-ascorbic acid may discolor with time, but oxidation is minimal and the formulation is proven to remain effective.
