Why SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Is the Antioxidant Serum Your Routine Might Be Missing
When it comes to skin ageing, the number one driver (after genetics) is environmental exposure — especially UV rays and pollution. Antioxidants are essential for defending your skin against these daily stressors, and one of the most researched and effective options is vitamin C.
But not all vitamin C serums are created equal.
For clients with combination skin, oiliness, or pigmentation concerns, SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF offers targeted protection and brightening, without feeling heavy or greasy.
Let’s take a closer look.
What Is Phloretin CF — and Who Is It For?
Phloretin CF is a daytime antioxidant serum containing:
10% L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – brightens, firms, and protects against free radical damage
2% Phloretin – a powerful antioxidant derived from apples, known to reduce discolouration and improve skin tone
0.5% Ferulic Acid – stabilises the formula and boosts antioxidant efficacy
This specific blend is designed for those with normal to combination skin, particularly those prone to pigmentation, dullness, or uneven texture.
Why Use an Antioxidant Serum Daily?
Even if you’re already using sunscreen (and we hope you are), an antioxidant serum adds another layer of protection. Antioxidants help:
Prevent premature ageing caused by oxidative stress
Improve skin tone and clarity
Support collagen production
Enhance the performance of your SPF
When used in the morning before moisturiser and sunscreen, Phloretin CF acts like a shield — and its benefits build with consistent use.
Where Does It Fit in a Routine?
A typical morning routine using Phloretin CF might look like this:
Cleanse with a gentle foaming cleanser
Apply Phloretin CF to clean, dry skin
Follow with a lightweight moisturiser
Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen
If pigmentation is a concern, you can also layer Discoloration Defense in the evening as part of a targeted skincare plan.
