For smooth and pigment-free skin!

Phloretin CF contains 10% l-ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C), 2% phloretin and 0.5% ferulic acid. These are the ingredients that will help protect and repair your skin this fall and winter. Over time (+/- 1 month of use), you will notice that the skin's ability to repair is accelerated and you will therefore have fewer problems with pigmentation. In my case, not of old age but leftover pigment spots left by, for example, a pimple. The stains are visibly reduced after 1 week of use. After the first use, I immediately noticed a difference in the color of my complexion. It was smoother, felt soft and just shone more. Thanks to the included pipette, the phloretin is very economical. A few drops are enough. NOTE: Because it contains VitC, it is very important to use SPF 50 sunscreen. All in all, it is a nice product but quite pricey for such a small content. The quality of the product is TOP! @ [~skinceuticals]

Luxury experience

What great products! I've been using this set every morning for several weeks now and I'm thrilled. Both the serum and sunscreen feel luxurious on the skin. The Phloretin CF serum has a short list of ingredients, which I really appreciate; no unnecessary ingredients. The serum would be for combination to oily skin, but works great on my dry skin. It absorbs quickly and does not irritate (despite the 10% pure vitamin C). Tip: keep vitamin C in the box in the fridge to prevent it from oxidizing. The sunscreen also feels soft on the skin and leaves no white haze or greasy feeling. The list of ingredients contains niacinamide and tranexamic acid, which should be enlightening. Yes, my skin has an even complexion after using this set. Smaller spots and pigment spots from impurities, in particular, disappear quite a bit. I can't tell yet whether it reduces my pigmentation on my cheeks and above my lip. At the moment, I don't see a difference yet (although I doubt there are products that can really do this). All in all, nice products with nice ingredient lists. A bit on the pricey side though.

Very nice products

This is a set of two products, a serum with active products and a sunscreen lotion. I myself have some pigmentation on my cheekbones and I was very curious if this would make a difference. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I have the idea that they're starting to fade out a bit, but it's not a world of difference yet. I also think that I'm still using the product for too short a period of time to really be able to give an answer about that. I use my normal toner after cleansing and then I apply the serum, according to the package, you can use four drops, which is sufficient for my face. The serum feels a bit concentrated oily and has a slightly medicinal scent. I don't like the smell at all, but it's different from perfumed products. It absorbs quickly and doesn't really moisturize, nor does it dry me out or give me shine or anything. I often use a hydrating serum afterwards because my skin can use the moisture. Then I put on the sunscreen lotion, which is very nice to apply and is a bit thinner than a lot of normal sunscreen. It gives a light glow and doesn't make it greasy or shiny at all, which I really like. For me, it is still necessary to apply a day cream afterwards, the products do not dry out at all but only moisturize to a very limited extent. All in all, I really like the products, but the serum is very expensive. If my pigmentation disappears, it's worth it, I just don't use it long enough to be sure. The products also really give a super nice glow without making fat, and I really like that too. Not to mention, an spf 50 will also prevent a lot of wrinkles and new pigmentation!
