What is the difference between C E Ferulic and Phloretin CF?

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.
