Antioxidant serum / Vitamin C serum
Description
SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF is an oil-free vitamin C antioxidant serum formulated for oily, blemish-prone, and acne-prone skin types. It combines 15% L-ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C) with 0.5% silymarin (milk thistle extract), 0.5% ferulic acid and 0.5% salicylic acid to deliver both anti-aging and anti-blemish benefits. The formula aims to neutralize free radicals, prevent oil oxidation that can lead to breakouts, refine skin texture, minimize pores, improve skin clarity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
