The first-ever oil-free vitamin C serum clinically proven to prevent and improve the appearance of oily and blemish-prone skin. Reduces oil oxidation that contributes to breakouts and visible signs of aging.
A breakthrough vitamin C serum for oily and blemish-prone skin combining 0.5% silymarin (milk thistle extract), 15% l-ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 0.5% salicylic acid. Clinically demonstrated to reduce oil oxidation by up to 76% — while reducing oiliness, refining skin texture, and visibly improving skin clarity and fine lines.
Why we carry it
Most acne-prone clients can't tolerate traditional vitamin C — too heavy, too oxidizing on already-oily skin. Silymarin CF was built specifically for this skin type. The salicylic acid keeps pores clear while the antioxidant trio prevents the sebum oxidation cycle that triggers breakouts in the first place. This is the daily vitamin C we recommend for clients with active acne, recurring breakouts, or stubborn shine.
