Skinceuticals CE / C E Ferulic NIB - 6*5ml Sample / Travel Size

I heavily rely on others' reviews, but have never posted before, but this time I decided to contribute.

I am a CE Ferulic fan and have used it for 2 years. I, too, once almostcried when I dropped a brand-new full-sized bottle, which I had bought at $135. When I bought the sample sizes, I thought the price was too good to be true. I decided to do an experiment.

I used one of the travel-sized bottles and decided to see whether the six of them would truly fill the original-sized one. They did NOT! In fact, I needed TWO MORE travel sized-bottles to fill the original bottle! I repeated the experiment several times, so I am pretty darn sure about this.

If you saved the original bottle and purchased the travel-sized, please repeat this experiment and post your comment.

Please note that the level of liquid rises when the dropper/lid is in and tightly closed, so make sure you use the correct volumes (in both cases, after you put in the dropper, the liquid should come up higher).

That said, I think travel sizes are handy and I would still buy them--I just don't like being mislead about the "deal" I am getting.

I am 48, with oily, light skin, min wrinkles but have had sun damage from just driving around in sunny Florida for the last 25 years. The worse ones were on my left cheek bone (drivers side go figure!).I am not, nor have ever been much of a sun bather!Until 7 years ago I never used sunscreen on my face before leaving the house. Bad plan er no planning I should say.NOTE: USE SUN SCREEN, and start young. The last couple of years I have spent over $3500 on derma-abrasion & laser treatments (and professional skin bleach) for my dark spots/ sun damage on my face and had very little success.To add insult to injury I found that the laser treatments actually made the spots worse.Well . . .I read in the Allure magazine about some new break through's and some good products that they recommended.Skinceuticals C E, Ferulic was said to rejuvenate the skin and a new Vivite product called Vibrance Therapy was reported as worked better then products that had hydroquinone in it (which may cause cancer) to fade sun damage. Hydroquinone I understand just retards the hyper-pigmentation, and takes up to 3 months to get good results but the bad news is the spots can come back if you are in the sun a little. (Great for Florida! Not!)The experts claimed the hyper-pigmentation was removed and more permanent with this new product. So what the heck, what's a little more $ thrown at my face you only have one and everyone sees it!I started using Vibrance Therapy about 3 weeks ago, in the morning, when I got home from work & before bed time.I am very happy to say my spots have faded almost away!I feel for the first time in years I can leave home without tons of base make-up!It is such a good feeling!I also have been using Skinceuticals C E with Ferulic (acid) in the eve or at bed time, ROC Deep Wrinkle Overnight Repair treatment every night and a weekly acid peel for added rejuvenation. The Vivite & Skinceuticals is a little expensive but way worth it.I bought The Vivite Vibrance Therapy & Skinceuticals C E, Ferulic at Amazon & the ROC at Costco Club.The best approach I believe is to use several good products and keep it up.

Someone actually said that to me today, 57 year old me whose acne scars are coalescing with my wrinkles causing Arlen-Specterish sorts of pouches to appear at the corners of my mouth."Great color," she continued. "You look healthy."

This three weeks after I began using Skinceuticals C E Ferulic.I knew that topical vitamin C had been shown in clinical trials to improve collagen production in aging skin.A little Internet research, however, suggested that mostly vitamin C serum does not penetrate the skin.On further investigation, I discovered a hint at TheDermblog.com that a fern-derived anti-oxidant known as ferulic helped topical C and E penetrate the skin to enhance collagen strength below.Collagen: the fibrous stuff that keeps your cheeks off your chin and your neck off your collar!

Easy to use, a fantastic bargain in these cute little sample bottles where 6 bottles at 5 ml. per bottle equals the big old 30 ml. size for $100 dollars less!A little goes a long way--one daily application apparently keeps on promoting that youthful glow for 24 hours.I love it; you will too!

I have used SkinCeuticals C E ferulic for several years now with noticeable improvement in pigmentation problems.I had a spot on my nose the size of a large pea that was very dark that has completely disappeared along with others on my cheeks.I bought the samples less than a year ago for $35.00 online if you can believe that.The year before for $29.99 a set of 6.Unfortunately the company no longer carries them and with the economy in such bad shape prices have soared.One reason I liked the samples besides the price was that the color stayed clear and not yellow because you were only opening one little bottle at a time thus not exposing the other 5 bottles to the elements.When I first started buying the product in the full size bottle it would turn yellow halfway through because I was exposing such a large amount every day.From what I understand, it was getting old and losing its potency.Also, a great trick I have learned is to put all of the SkinCeutical products in the refrigerator as soon as I received them.You will notice that the C E ferulic will always be clear.If you have the large bottle, put enough ferulic for only 2 weeks in a dark glass bottle (small preferably) and add as needed, always keeping the full size one in the fridge. This will work with all the products to keep them fresh. If the C E ferulic is yellow when you receive it, I would return it.

Since there are so many other reviews already, I don't think I have to repeat them. This is a great product and deserves 5 stars. But the poor description for this product automatically deducts some points. The description states that each sample bottle is 5mL, but the actual volume is not even close. When I first opened the pack, I realized how small each bottle was and that no volume or weight was printed onto the glass. So I decided to experiment. I emptied the contents of a new sample bottle into an almost empty regular-sized bottle, measured the change in height of the liquid with a ruler, and multiplied by 6. With my measurements, the 6 sample bottles would only reach up to about 3/5 of the bottle. My measurements may not have been completely accurate, but I also noticed that another reviewer commented on this, so I am sure that the claimed volume is false. Because of the convenience of the small bottles and good price, I may still buy this in the future. The serum might stay fresher because they are all individually sealed, and you might even be able to share a few bottles with friends. But I want to let future buyers know that they are only getting a good deal instead of a great deal (currently the 1 oz bottle is selling for about $88 on Amazon). I bought this from APFD Beauty Supply through Amazon for about $40 with shipping, and the serum came clear (meaning that is is fresh). Shipping was also very fast.

Edit(#2): My first edit recommended the generic CE Ferulic by Cosmetic Solutions. However, after a period of use, I realized that results are not exactly the same. It comes out to about half the price of Skinceuticals and includes mostly the same ingredients. Unlike me, most reviewers find that results are the same, so it may be worth a try if you are looking to save money.
