I never used the Skinceuticals version due to exorbitant cost, so I can't comment on their similarity, but the ingredients are EXACTLY the same. I find the quality of this product to be very high, and as a nurse that works in dermatology that says a lot, as I'm incredibly picky about my products. It is one of the few products that I feel actually does what it claims. My skin glows after I apply it, and I do think it's helping to fade the few lentigines I have on my nose from sun exposure. I am primarily using it to prevent future sun and environmental damage, but I have been impressed with the results I've seen in the relatively short time I've been using it as well. I'm almost finished with my first bottle, and I fully intend to continue purchasing it. I hope they never stop making this and please tell all your friends if you like it as much as I do =) UPDATE: Still highly recommend this product, but wanted to offer a few suggestions in extending the longevity of the product. The more you expose your bottle to air/light, the more quickly it will oxidize (turn yellow). I do continue to use mine until it's a light yellow, but toss it when it starts getting brighter. I now store my bottle in the refrigerator (and in it's box), which greatly extends product life. I have a little glass dropper bottle, and I fill it up from the big bottle and use that each day. That way, I'm only opening the big bottle once every 2 weeks instead of daily. Before doing it this way I was getting frustrated because the serum would turn yellow when there was still half a bottle left, but this has really worked for me. Great product!! Review: SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic vs. Cosmetic Skin Solutions Vitamin C+E Serum - A few weeks after ordering this on desertcart, SkinCeuticals sent me a free sample bottle of their CE Ferulic... (Do they have access to my purchase history? That was creepy.) BUT it did allow me to do a side-by-side comparison of this product and the SkinCeuticals one. (I also previously used Paula's Choice Resist C15. I like PC products and use their Clinical Retinol Serum, but for me, their C15 was more irritating to the skin than either CSS or SC's vitamin C serums.) So, back to my side-by-side comparison. (In fact, right at this moment I have this Cosmetic Skin Solutions Vitamin C+E Serum (CSS) on the right side of my face and SkinCeuticals (SC) on the left.) Here are my thoughts so far: Both products make my skin a little sticky, a little shine, and sometimes have a slight stinging sensation. They're both almost clear, but very slightly yellowish in hue. CSS is a little stronger in odor (kind of astringent smelling--not unpleasant. And I'm more sensitive to smells than anyone I now.), a little more watery in texture (drops roll down my face faster), and it's just a bit stickier after I put it on than SkinCeuticals. I've also had the CSS bottle open longer, so that might account for some of the difference. After applying either product, I wait a bit for absorption and then apply moisturizer. Once that absorbs, the stickiness is much less of a problem. And if I wear foundation, I don't notice the sickness at all. When I have either product on, my complexion glows. It's noticeable right away. It also tightens the skin a little right away. I really like the way my skin looks when I have either product on. As I mentioned, both products sting slightly sometimes. When this seems to last longer or cause a little redness, I take a day or two off. Neither makes my skin look yellowish (I'm caucasian with yellow undertones anyway, though). Also, my skin tends to be quite sensitive. What I've seen of the research on vitamin C is that the results take several months to show. I'm 39 and interested in decreasing current/preventing future: sagging, dark spots from sun damage, and wrinkles. All the experts agree L-ascorbic acid is great for this, so I'm going to try to give it several months before making a judgement. Bottom line: ALMOST NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO PRODUCTS in my experience of them after a few weeks. And yet, CSS costs about 75% less than SC. It's a HUGE difference in price. I can afford a $40 bottle a couple of times per year. $165 is a dramatic difference. And let's face it, a rip off. Which I resent. SC has built a huge following with their branding, but it's not worth 4x the price for basically the same ingredients that several other companies (like CSS and Paula's Choice) offer. The ingredients are almost identical. (SC patented the pH of their formula, so CSS is a tiny bit less acidic in order not to violate the patent.) And how much does it actually cost to manufacture this stuff? If other companies can make the same product for just 20-30% of the cost, then it's my feeling SC is making us feel like theirs is better by creating perceived value through a hiked up price and raking in enormous profits off of our desire as (mostly) women to look better. It ticks me off, and I'll do whatever I can to avoid these fancy brands with insane mark-ups. ## Features - Powerful Vitamin C & E Formula: Formulated with 15% pure L-Ascorbic Acid and Vitamin E, this serum helps nourish dull skin, enhance radiance, and support a smoother, more even-looking complexion.

The price difference is huge but not worth it if not as spectacular as Skinceuticals.** A: I read somewhere that skinceuticals has a patent on the pH of their active L-ascorbic acid. The patented pH is 2.5-3.0, and so this serum has a pH in between 3.0-3.5 to prevent patent violations. According to the article, this means that the product with the higher pH will be slightly less exfoliating.info from https://www.futurederm.com/2012/02/15/are-other-vitamin-ce-serums-as-effective-as-skinceuticals-ce-ferulic-cosmetics-solutions-timeless-skinmedica/ **Q: It smells like vinegar. The smell is so strong that it makes my eyes water, and is nauseating. Is this normal?** A: It is not normal or I would say safe under any circumstances but it is normal for their serum. I saw two broken capillaries on my chin two days after its use and I literally threw away the bottle/ my 40$!! **Q: Hi, I've ordered this item twice - the first time the serum was a little darker in color and the 2nd time it's clear. Has the formula changed?** A: Hi, the Serum 20 is clear than the C+E. all the time that i ordered the C+E, the color was the same :) **Q: Cosmetic skin solututions llc: does this formula contain triethenolamine?** A: Yes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS PRODUCT *by J***N on April 29, 2013* Just wanted to take a minute and say how great this serum is!

They make top notch, pure facial products. The Vit C+E, 0.5% ferulic acid and hyaluronic acid. I use this product every morning with my facial routine. I apply it on freshly washed, dry skin, then apply moisturizer. It gives my face a fresh, glow. Help smooth out fine lines around my eyes. I love the benefits of the Vit C+E along with Ferulic acic and Hyaluronic acids. Ferulic acid, which plays a key role in self preservation, re-enforcing skin cell strength and protecting it from microbial damage as well as sun damage, Hyaluronic acid helps plump the skin, giving the appearance of smooth skin, by improving texture AND plumping out those fine lines. I wish I knew now at age 37 as I did when I was 17. I would have avoided the skin the the plague, instead of damaging it but wanting to be tan all the time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1832433-supreme-serum-ce-vitamin-c-face-serum-with-vitamin-e](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1832433-supreme-serum-ce-vitamin-c-face-serum-with-vitamin-e) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
