SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF 30mL

Couldn’t figure what is giving me acne (whiteheads and cystic)… until I stopped everything and then started adding to my skincare routine. The moment I used this (tried twice), it broke me out

I am 48 years old, I have oily skin, large pores, not prone to breakouts and this serum has been amazing for my skin. I only use it in the mornings. I've tried several Vitamin C and this is one is the best one I've used.

I absolutely love this. I use it every single night and my skin is absolutely glowing in the morning. It does have a funky smell but it’s normal. A little goes a long way. It is quite expensive but it’s very much worth it. This really transform my skin over a matter of weeks.

This serum has been great for my sensitive combination skin. I wish I could use the best in breed CeFerulic, but my skin breaks out. This is my alternative!

This is a great Vit C serum which actually improves acne-prone skin, without the oily feel of others.

i honestly dont see the result as I have tried the other vitamin C from skinceauticals. I am so sad. I wish I liked it

I really like SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF because it’s one of the few vitamin C serums that truly works for my skin. It feels lightweight and sinks in quickly without leaving any greasy residue, which makes it perfect to use in the morning under my sunscreen and makeup. What I notice the most is how much clearer and more balanced my complexion looks – my skin doesn’t get as shiny throughout the day, and I’ve had fewer breakouts since using it.

I love this product. It is one of the few things that actually helps me

Love this product and it helps lighten the acne area where it was red for a while.

SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF has been a game-changer for my oily and acne-prone skin. The lightweight serum absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, and I’ve noticed a real improvement in skin clarity and texture. It helps control oil throughout the day and reduces the frequency of breakouts. The combination of vitamin C, ferulic acid, and silymarin gives my skin a healthy, bright glow while protecting it from environmental stress. It’s definitely a premium product, but a few drops go a long way, and the results are worth it. My skin looks smoother, less congested, and more even-toned after regular use.

My story - adult acne kept under control with the help of atologist and contraceptives. Vitamin C always made me breakout big time. Anything with Glycolic acid and Retin-A irritate my eyes. So my options have always been limited. Since I got off contraceptive a year ago, acnes came back! Used a sample of this for a week and saw the difference that was worth the investment. I've been using this every morning and using Blemish + Aging at night for a month and haven't seen one zit - this is under the circumstances of not having to wear masks at all (I'm home all the time). Since it helps reduce oil production, my guess is it'll help minimize masknes. So grateful for this new product and hope you benefit from it as well.

I've been a loyal Skinceuticals user for years. I have very oily, acne prone skin and have managed to keep it clear using this brand during the day and Jan Marini at night. CE Ferulic has been my holy grail serum and I was excited to see Silymarin. Unfortunately, my skin broke out twice. The first time, I got 3 huge pimples between my eyebrows. I gave it a break and my skin recovered. I tried it again a few weeks later and my entire face, especially the cheek area, has broken out with small pimples, which hasn't happened to me in forever. Sadly I am going to discontinue using this. Luckily I've only been using a sample size.

I originally received a sample directly from SkinCeuticals, which lasted about two weeks, and liked the results. Ordered my first full bottle from , and I continue to like it for two reasons. First, it does help reduce, or manage, oil in my T zone, which can be out of control in the hotter months. Second, it leaves a smooth finish to the rest of my face. What I don’t see: noticeable brightness from the Vitamin C or the appearance of smaller pores in that problematic T zone, due to the salicylic acid. I’ve had better results with products that are only Vitamin C or BHA. But, this product has done such a good job with oil control, I feel as if I’ve moved from “oily skin” to combination skin. That’s a dilemma; do I now need TWO serums? In summary, I recommend Silymarin for oily skin, or skin with a tendency to breakout. For combination skin? Not too sure.

When you have acne, you know how embarrassing, frustrating and depressing it can be to try and get a clear face. I’m blown away. I have dealt with acne since a teenager (going on 30) and have tried so many different things. I have been using youth to the people’s retinol at night, or combined with azelaic serum. peptide moisturizer for day and night. salicylic/niacinamide serums and peptide moisturizer & spf during the day. Clean, quality products. Adding in THIS-my skin texture is glowing and evening out and the red bumps are going away! Definitely the thing my skin needed. Worth the price for clear skin. I haven’t tried anything else that works as fast and good. Smells weird, but it goes away.

I have deep cystic/hormonal acne and then your regular every day red zits that come out of no-where. Not one product, even CE Ferulic has handled my breakouts and kept them under control. I am so so so thankful for this product, thank you Skinceuticals, please do not change a thing! I put it on my face every morning and night and I even take a little dab on an area where I feel a pimple coming on, it has done wonders for my skin. I also love that it has vitamin C in it so that I can now replace the CE Ferulic I had always bought. This not only has helped my breakouts/calmed my skin it gives an amazing finishing glow! Paired with the Skinceuticals Daily Defense SPF you will thank me later! (:

really nice serum for us oily girls, only docked a star cause it would be way better in an airless pump like the phloriten cf

I really love this stuff. But it’s oxidizes SO FAST in comparison to other vitamin c serums. Hence deducting a star. I received a deluxe sample of it and while it smells a bit like hot dog water, really helps with my fa prone skin. Also if I have a pimple and spot treat it with this, it usually flattens out OVERNIGHT! Incredible. But for how expensive this is, it’s rather disappointing and discouraging to buy a full bottle as my sample bottle has oxidized already and I didn’t get it very long ago. Could never use the whole bottle before it oxidizes. Which would be a waste since vitamin c is virtually ineffective once it oxidizes. Still works great as a spot treatment then though.

I was recommended this product by my esthetician who does my facials. I am on my second bottle. This has diminished the oiliness on my face so much, as someone who used to blot her face too many times during the day because I live in a very humid city, I rarely have to blot my face now. Sometimes only once do I have to blot my face but I like the shininess I get near the end of the day because it looks glowy rather than super oily. I also feel like this product helped with my acne. Overall, paired with my makeup routine my face looks flawless nowadays because of this product. I use very little on my face and it works great under the Elta Md sunscreen. I also have very sensitive skin so I'm very picky with products but this does not irritate my face at all. If it's too cold in the winter or dry outside, I do avoid this product as my face is less oily.

CHANGED MY LIFE AND FIXED MY OILY SKIN PROBLEM!!! The best part is that I didn't even purchase it for that, I wanted to add a bit c serum to my skin care and C F Furelic Acid was always rated high but when I was comparing the two I noticed that this one was made for oily skin so I went with this one. I have always had one major problem with my face, and it is that a few hours into my day my face would become so so oily causing me to have to use blotting paper throughout the day and ruin my makeup/ look. Since I started using this as a base before applying makeup, it reduced the oil that my face produces SIGNIFICANTLY. I CANNOT BE MORE HAPPIER WITH THIS PRODUCT, DO NOT CHANGE THIS FORMULA!!!

I had really high hopes for this product. I’m in my late 30s and have always had moderately oily skin, slightly uneven tone/redness, and sebaceous filaments on my nose. I’ll get an occasional pimple, but always small and infrequent. \r\n\r\nThis product didn’t work for me. It didn’t absorb into my skin, so I was left feeling oily from the very start of the day. I also noticed an increase in clogged pores and had one of the worst breakouts I’ve had in years. I gave it a full 4 weeks to see if the product was just clearing my pores, but saw no improvement; it just continued to get worse, unfortunately. \r\n\r\nIt didn’t do what it promised for me, but I received great service when I contacted Skinceuticals to initiate a return. It seems like the product works well for others, so I may be the exception.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to write reviews on these products. As a guy hitting 50 soon, it is hard to find products that work with my big pore, blackheads, big pore and aging skin. I've seen some dramatic changes in my skin since using the sample received in the mail. My pores are dramatically smaller, my blackheads appear to be gone as well. I use the Blemish + Age serum in the morning and this sample at night which has lasted for over two weeks now. It doesn't smell bad, goes on quickly and dries. I use Kiehl's moisturizer for men after applying along with some under eye cream to help combat lines and puffiness. If you're on the fence with spending the money, do it once and be consistent with the product and you will see results. I hope it works as well for you as it does for me. Personally, I'd like to soak in this product!

All I can say is wow. I am so thankful I bought this product! My skin wasn’t looking good at all. I had been suffering over a year w/ blemishes when I came off birth control and having to wear the mask for 7+ hours a day didn’t help either! I switched to cotton masks, started using this product (am) and the skinceuticals conditioning toner (am and pm) and my skin has dramatically changed (retinol at night)! It hasn’t looked this good in such a long time! I can finally look in the mirror and feel happy about how my skin looks compared to what it is before. Thank you, thank you, thank you skinceuticals for making such amazing quality products! Worth every dime!!
