Anti-Ageing Skin Routine Set

Protect, then re-plump

C E Ferulic is the reference antioxidant serum: 15% pure L-ascorbic acid, 1% alpha tocopherol and 0.5% ferulic acid at the low pH that lets vitamin C enter the skin, neutralising the free radicals that UV and pollution generate and that drive collagen loss over time. Its work is protective first and corrective second: brighter tone and softer lines follow months of consistent use.

The volume step

H.A. Intensifier Multi-Glycan sits over it: 1.3% pure hyaluronic acid with 12% proxylane and a post-biotic ferment, built to support the skin's own hyaluronic acid rather than only sit on the surface. SkinCeuticals' testing reports a visible reduction in fine lines of 24% and hydration held for 24 hours.

The fit

The two serums answer the two sides of visible ageing, environmental damage and volume loss, in a morning routine that takes under a minute. Both full size.

Skin showing the first signs of ageing, fine lines and loss of plumpness; anyone building a SkinCeuticals routine from scratch who wants the two anchor serums together; and existing C E Ferulic users adding the hydration step.

Worth knowing

C E Ferulic is fragrance-free; H.A. Intensifier is scented with mandarin peel oil and contains capryloyl salicylic acid, so check it with a citrus or salicylate sensitivity. Both are suitable in pregnancy. C E Ferulic can tingle on reactive or freshly treated skin until the barrier settles.

Mornings on cleansed, dry skin. Apply four to five drops of C E Ferulic to face, neck and chest and let it absorb. Follow with H.A. Intensifier, pressed over the same areas, then moisturiser and SPF 50+.

H.A. Intensifier can also be used in the evening under your night cream.

Use alongside

Triple Lipid Restore or A.G.E. Interrupter as the morning moisturiser, Ultra Facial Defense SPF50+ to finish, and a Retinol night cream in the evening once skin is ready. Keep C E Ferulic as the first serum on skin; everything else layers over it.
