If you are investing in regenerative treatments – whether polynucleotides, collagen-stimulating devices or injectable therapies – one question matters:
How do you protect the results you have just created?
C E Ferulic is not simply a Vitamin C serum. Within regenerative aesthetics, it functions as protection for the biology we stimulate in the clinic.
At Aesthetic Health in Leeds, we do not recommend products lightly. Every formulation must support skin physiology in a measurable, evidence-led way and align with our regenerative philosophy. One product Dr Julia has consistently recommended – and personally used – for over two decades is SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic.
In an industry saturated with trends and constant reformulations, it is rare for a serum to remain clinically relevant for twenty years. C E Ferulic has endured not because it is fashionable, but because its science remains fundamentally sound.
Even today, after significant innovation in energy-based devices and regenerative injectables, it remains Dr Julia’s preferred antioxidant serum.
Because regeneration without protection is incomplete.
What Is C E Ferulic – And Why Has It Lasted?
C E Ferulic is a high-potency antioxidant serum designed to protect the skin against environmental damage while supporting long-term collagen integrity.
Its formulation combines:
- 15% L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) to support collagen synthesis and brighten tone
- 1% alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) to strengthen antioxidant defence
- 0.5% ferulic acid to stabilise and amplify the effectiveness of Vitamins C and E
When it launched, this precise combination was pioneering. Two decades later, it remains one of the most clinically respected antioxidant formulations available.
That longevity is not marketing. It is science.
The Science – Made Simple
The Role of Vitamin C
L-ascorbic acid is the biologically active form of Vitamin C. At the correct concentration and pH, it supports fibroblast activity – the very cells responsible for producing collagen.
Many over-the-counter Vitamin C serums oxidise quickly or are too weak to be effective. Stability determines performance.
C E Ferulic was engineered for stability and absorption, ensuring delivery into the dermis where collagen synthesis takes place.
Why Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid Matter
Vitamin E helps protect the skin’s outer layers from damage caused by free radicals.
Ferulic acid keeps the formula stable and working properly. It prevents Vitamins C and E from breaking down too quickly when exposed to light or air. It also enhances their overall protective strength.
Together, they act like a protective shield against environmental damage that can weaken collagen and accelerate ageing.
In short:
- Vitamin C builds.
- Vitamin E supports.
- Ferulic acid protects the formula itself.
Why Antioxidants Are Essential in Regenerative Aesthetics
Free radicals generated by UV exposure, pollution and normal metabolism are a primary driver of collagen breakdown. They damage structural proteins such as collagen and elastin within the extracellular matrix.
If you are investing in regenerative treatments, this matters.
When we perform polynucleotide therapy, energy-based procedures or other regenerative treatment pathways, we are stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
But stimulation without protection is incomplete.
Why Protection Must Follow Stimulation
Regeneration creates new collagen fibres. Oxidative stress can degrade them.
Without adequate antioxidant protection, the longevity of your clinical results may be reduced.
C E Ferulic neutralises free radicals before they damage structural proteins. It strengthens the skin’s resilience and helps preserve the dermal remodelling achieved in clinic.
It is not simply a brightening serum. It is insurance for your collagen.
C E Ferulic and Collagen Integrity
Collagen integrity depends on two things:
- Synthesis
- Preservation
Stimulating fibroblasts increases neocollagenesis. Antioxidants protect newly synthesised fibres from premature degradation.
Supporting Fibroblast Function
Vitamin C is essential for collagen production. It stabilises collagen molecules and supports fibroblast longevity.
Without sufficient antioxidant defence, oxidative stress can impair those same fibroblasts you are trying to stimulate.
Protecting Newly Forming Collagen
After energy-based stimulation or injectable regenerative therapies, the skin enters an active repair phase. During this period, cellular activity increases – and so does vulnerability to oxidative damage.
This is when antioxidant protection becomes critical.
Why Dr Julia Recommends C E Ferulic After Polynucleotide Treatment
After polynucleotide therapy:
- Fibroblasts are activated
- Cellular hydration improves
- Collagen production increases
This regenerative window is powerful. It is also metabolically active.
Increased cellular turnover generates reactive oxygen species. Without protection, these free radicals may weaken newly forming collagen fibres.
By introducing C E Ferulic into the daily morning routine following polynucleotide treatment, we:
- Support fibroblast longevity
- Protect new collagen fibres
- Reduce oxidative stress during repair
- Enhance tissue resilience
- Maintain and optimise clinical outcomes
Polynucleotides stimulate regeneration.
C E Ferulic protects that regeneration.
This dual approach reflects our philosophy at Aesthetic Health: regeneration must be stimulated, protected and sustained.
Is C E Ferulic Worth It?
Patients often ask whether C E Ferulic is worth the investment.
In our view, value is measured in biological impact and consistency.
There are many Vitamin C serums marketed as the best Vitamin C serum for ageing skin. Few demonstrate this level of stability, clinical credibility and long-term performance.
Dr Julia often says:
“When I recommend a product, it has to earn its place. C E Ferulic is one of the few formulations I consistently return to – both clinically and personally – because it supports the biology of the skin in a meaningful way. After twenty years, it remains my favourite antioxidant.”
Consistency in formulation.
Consistency in performance.
Consistency in patient outcomes.
Longevity speaks for itself.
How to Integrate C E Ferulic Into Your Routine
C E Ferulic should be applied in the morning after cleansing. It should always be paired with SPF to optimise UV protection.
At Aesthetic Health, we incorporate it into structured medical-grade skincare protocols tailored to your physiology. It is not prescribed in isolation, but as part of a strategic homecare plan.
If you are undergoing:
- Polynucleotide therapy
- Collagen-stimulating energy treatments
- Laser procedures
- Biostimulatory injectable treatments
Speak to our team about integrating C E Ferulic into your regimen.
Because the work we do in clinic deserves protection at home.
Regeneration Is Not a One-Step Process
We stimulate collagen in clinic.
We protect collagen at home.
We sustain results through medically guided planning.
If you are currently following a regenerative programme and want to optimise your outcomes, we invite you to book a medical skin consultation with our team.
Because regeneration without protection is incomplete.
