When it comes to celebrities and skincare routines - we're obsessed. Why? Because celebs have the best dermatologists and facialists on speed-dial, meaning they know what's good. Sure, there are some skincare products where you can pick up a bargain (see our favourite budget beauty buys here) but sometimes, if you really want to see results, it's worth investing.
A product that's worth the splurge? Vitamin C. Not only is vitamin C super unstable (meaning it requires pricey packaging to help keep it at its most potent), the more expensive formulas have often got a TONNE of research behind their formulas - meaning you'll actually see visible results on your skin.
Which brings us nicely onto the vitamin C serum that's loved by Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Sienna Miller (to name but a FEW). Yes, it's pricey - but if you can afford the splurge, it's absolutely worth it.
Say hello to Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum.
How does vitamin C benefit your skin?
Ok so we could wax-lyrical about this 'spenny serum all we like, but first things first… why is vitamin C important for our skin?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant - meaning it helps to protect your skin against harmful aggressors (things like pollution, UV rays, smoke, dirt etc.) Vitamin C helps to neutralise these damaging free radicals, rendering them useless when they come into contact with your skin.
Not only that, but vitamin C is great for ramping up your glow and helping to reduce pigmentation issues. It boosts collagen and elastin production - helping your skin to appear plumper and more youthful, plus it helps to inhibit your skin's melanin production, fading things like dark spots and areas of discolouration.
What makes Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum so good?
Ok so we've established that vitamin C is a powerhouse of an ingredient, but what makes the Skinceuticals one so good? Well, not only has Skinceuticals paved the way for ground-breaking research into antioxidants, their C E Ferulic serum contains a high-potency triple-antioxidant formula (made up o f 15% L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 1% vitamin E, and 0.5% ferulic acid) which work together to reinforce the skin’s natural defences.

Which celebrities use Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum?
While celebs are often affiliated with skincare brands, that doesn't seem to be the case with Skinceuticals. In fact, the celebs we found appear to be genuine fans of the brand.
Kendall Jenner revealed she mixes C E Ferulic with Elta MD sunscreen (we wouldn't advise that just FYI, apply them separately) in a Vogue beauty video.
Hailey Bieber shared her top skincare products on instagram, where she championed C E Ferulic as a favourite of hers.
While Sienna Miller revealed to The Telegraph that her facialist Una Brennan got her into the cult serum. "Una got me on to SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum and now I use it every day,” Sienna spilled.
So, while there's no denying that the price tag is up there - if you're after a gold standard vitamin C serum - you can be safe in the knowledge that Skinceuticals have one of the best.
