Phloretin CF Vitamin C Serum

SkinCeuticals' Phloretin CF Serum contains an array of skincare ingredients that all work in combination to deliver exceptional results. The ingredients, including 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid, are proven to target atmospheric ageing, to visbily reduce environmental damage to skin and premature signs of aging. Antioxidants work to neutralise free radicals and address damage caused by exposure to UV rays, infrared radiation (IRA), and ozone pollution (O3). Complementing the antioxidant protective benefits, Phloretin CF improves appearance of discolouration, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
