✓ 10% Pure Vitamin C + Ferulic Acid | ✓ Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin | ✓ Brighter, Healthier-Looking Skin

SkinCeuticals Serum 10 is a fast-absorbing daytime antioxidant serum that combines 10% pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with ferulic acid to help protect skin from free radicals and restore a radiant, healthier-looking complexion. Formulated to the parameters of the Duke Antioxidant patent - pure vitamin C at an effective concentration and an optimal pH - it is the gentlest way into the antioxidant range that made SkinCeuticals famous.

This is the serum for anyone who has heard vitamin C is worth it but worries about irritation. SkinCeuticals Serum 10 was designed for sensitive skin and first-time vitamin C users: the lighter 10% concentration and deliberately short, fragrance-free ingredient list keep the experience comfortable while still delivering daily antioxidant support.

Why This Beats Ordinary Vitamin C Serums

Most vitamin C products use derivatives that are easy to formulate but do little in the skin, or high strengths that sensitive skin cannot tolerate. SkinCeuticals Serum 10 splits the difference properly: pure L-ascorbic acid at a gentle but genuinely effective 10%, stabilised with ferulic acid and tested in final packaging to stay stable for 36 months and up to 6 months after opening. Pure vitamin C naturally deepens in colour over time; with this formula that is expected and does not affect performance.

Best For

Sensitive, dull and sensitised skin; vitamin C beginners; anyone wanting daily antioxidant protection without irritation. If C E Ferulic is the destination, SkinCeuticals Serum 10 is the perfect starting point on the same road.

The question clients ask her most is where to start with active skincare, and this is so often her answer: a proper pure vitamin C, gentle enough to trust on reactive skin, from a brand she has recommended throughout her career.

FAQS

What does SkinCeuticals Serum 10 do? +

It is a fast-absorbing daytime antioxidant serum that combines 10% pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with ferulic acid. It helps reinforce the skin's natural protection against free radicals, reduces the appearance of premature signs of ageing and restores a radiant, healthier-looking complexion.

Is Serum 10 a good first vitamin C serum? +

Yes - it is SkinCeuticals' introductory vitamin C, formulated at 10% specifically for sensitive skin types and anyone new to L-ascorbic acid. It delivers the brand's signature antioxidant approach in its gentlest form.

What is the difference between Serum 10 and C E Ferulic? +

C E Ferulic contains 15% L-ascorbic acid plus 1% vitamin E for maximum antioxidant performance, while Serum 10 uses a gentler 10% concentration without vitamin E. Many people start on Serum 10 and step up to C E Ferulic once their skin has adjusted.

When should I apply Serum 10 in my routine? +

In the morning after cleansing, on dry skin, before moisturiser and sunscreen. Vitamin C and daily SPF are a classic pairing - the serum supports the skin's own defences while your sunscreen protects on the surface.

Why has my serum darkened in colour? +

Pure vitamin C naturally deepens in colour with exposure to air and light. SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulas are tested to remain stable and effective for 36 months unopened and up to 6 months after opening, and a colour change does not affect performance.

Can I use Serum 10 with retinol? +

Yes - the simplest routine is Serum 10 in the morning and your retinol in the evening, so each active works at the time of day it suits best.

Is Serum 10 suitable for sensitive skin? +

Yes. It was designed with sensitive and easily upset skin in mind, and its gentle 10% concentration and short, fragrance-free ingredient list make it one of the easiest vitamin C serums to tolerate.

Does Serum 10 contain fragrance or alcohol? +

No - the current formula is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, with a deliberately short ingredient list. You can review it in full under Other Ingredients.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding? +

Vitamin C serums are generally considered suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and Serum 10 contains no retinoids. Every pregnancy is different though, so we always recommend checking your full routine with your midwife or GP for complete peace of mind.
