SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF is an advanced daytime antioxidant serum that provides superior environmental protection and is a pigment regulator helping to reduce dullness and discolouration of the skin, it retextures and evens skin tone for a brighter more radiant complexion. Suitable for normal, combination skin with ageing and hyperpigmentation.
Key ingredients include Phloretin, an antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, accelerates cell turnover and reduces the production of unwanted pigment. L-Ascorbic Acid purest form of vitamin C, provides powerful antioxidant benefits that help protect the skin from environmental damage while improving the visible signs of ageing. Ferulic Acid is a plant-based antioxidant that neutralises free radicals and helps to inhibit UVA, UVB and protect the skin from infrared radiation and harmful ground Ozone which can be a contributing factor to pigmentation.
Dr. Webster’s Recommendation: SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF is an extremely popular antioxidant for daytime use as it helps to reduce and prevent dark marks on the skin. In more recent studies it has shown a 20% improvement in more even skin tone. It is important for everyone to use an antioxidant together with sunscreen during the day but even more so for people who spend a great deal of time outdoors, especially in more urban or industrial areas.
