When To Use CE Ferulic or Phloretin CF

All antioxidants degrade under UV rays, however these antioxidants also help to prevent sunburns and the damage that UV rays can cause, making them most effective during the day.  Apply in the morning or before going out in the sun.  After using you can apply other lotion or makeup as needed.  Serums work best after using a cleansing system such as Clarisonic, which can make penetration of the serum 61% more effective, which is important since serums can be expensive and offer so many benefits.
