Silymarin CF

Through We are Eves, I received a sample of Silymarin CF to test. The first thing you notice is that you get a beautiful glow from this product. And that Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is highly dosed: 15%. Unfortunately, what I don't like is that the 2nd ingredient in the list is Alcohol Denat. This ingredient is therefore highly dosed in this product (because it is 2nd in the list of ingredients) and it only dries out your skin. It doesn't do anything good for your skin... quite the opposite. Another ingredient in it is Laureth-23 and this can clog your pores. Given the very high price of this product, I would not recommend it because it contains these 2 ingredients (especially the Alcohol Denat). A shame in itself, because the amount of Vitamin C is highly dosed.

The silymarin CF has an orange color and is easy to apply to the face. It has a bit of a chemical smell, but it's not annoying. Immediately after application, your skin feels very clean and fresh! I myself see this as an advantage; often you notice that you don't absorb a product quickly or just feel a bit greasy on your face, that's definitely not the case with this one. I did notice that my face stung a bit after applying it. I think it's a great product, but for the money you pay for it, there are probably other products that work well. @ [~skinceuticals]

This is a serum containing vitamin C, it comes in a handy bottle with a pipette. It doesn't cause me any burning or irritation, but it's a bit sticky. Beforehand, I had some small red spots, that redness disappeared quickly with this serum. I use it twice a week because my skin is very sensitive. My skin is also a little less oily and shines less now so I would definitely recommend this serum! My pores are less visible, which is also a plus. I would have liked to get more information about how this product works, which was barely on the packaging.
