Phloretin CF by SkinCeuticals: A Potent Antioxidant Serum for Pigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone
When it comes to pigmentation, prevention is just as important as treatment. Sun exposure, oxidative stress, and inflammation all contribute to the development and persistence of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and age-related discolouration. That’s why antioxidant protection is a non-negotiable part of any pigmentation management plan.
SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF is a clinically tested antioxidant serum designed to neutralise environmental damage, support skin clarity, and reduce the visible impact of pigmentation over time. It’s a popular choice among clients looking to prevent and correct early signs of ageing and discolouration.
What Makes Phloretin CF Different?
This serum contains a patented combination of 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid. This blend targets multiple sources of oxidative stress that contribute to pigmentation and premature ageing.
Unlike some antioxidant products that can feel greasy or cause sensitivity, Phloretin CF is water-based and absorbs quickly, making it ideal for oily or combination skin types. It also supports skin cell turnover, helping to fade uneven pigmentation and promote a smoother, more radiant appearance.
Who Is It Best For?
Clients with sun-induced pigmentation or age spots
Individuals with combination or oily skin
Those looking to protect their skin from future pigmentation
People using or planning to undergo skin rejuvenation treatments
Because antioxidants are best used preventatively, this serum is a good option for those in their late 20s to 40s who are noticing early unevenness in skin tone, or for those committed to a long-term pigmentation plan.
How to Use Phloretin CF in Your Routine
Phloretin CF should be applied in the morning after cleansing, before moisturiser and sunscreen. A few drops is enough to cover the entire face and neck. When used daily, especially alongside a high-quality SPF, this serum helps shield the skin from UV damage, pollution, and other environmental triggers.
For clients using pigment-targeting serums like SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense, Phloretin CF can be used as a complementary morning antioxidant, while Discoloration Defense is applied at night for more direct pigment correction.
Supporting Professional Treatments with Antioxidants
At our Port Melbourne clinic, many clients use antioxidant serums like Phloretin CF alongside in-clinic treatments such as facials or laser. Antioxidants help reduce inflammation, limit oxidative stress, and support healing — all of which are beneficial after facials or rejuvenation therapies.
It’s also a valuable serum in the recovery phase after skin rejuvenation procedures, as it helps protect the skin and maintain treatment results.
A Long-Term Strategy for Skin Clarity
While Phloretin CF is not a treatment serum in the traditional sense, it plays a crucial role in a proactive skincare regime. Its ability to strengthen the skin’s environmental defences, limit pigment development, and improve overall tone makes it an excellent foundation for anyone serious about long-term clarity and radiance.
Combined with pigment-specific serums and professional treatments, it forms part of a multi-layered approach to achieving and maintaining even-toned, healthy skin.
