SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF serum is one of the latest, greatest beuaty breakthroughs all because of the key ingredient Plhoretin. Extracted from apples, phloretin is an antioxidant and when it's combined with vitamin C and ferulic acid, it's been shown to penetrate the skin and interfere with the formation of brown spots and wrinkles. It also protects against DNA changes that lead to some nonmelanoma skin cancers, as well as correct existing damage by stimulating cell turnover.

Stimulating cell turnover seems to be the best function of anti-aging skincare and antioxidants seem to be at the core of action. Antioxidants are thought to be the body’s body guard. One of the main culprits behind the aging process is Oxidation, which is caused by free radicals. These highly unbalanced atoms attack healthy cells, causing the cells to die. Antioxidants interact with and kill free radicals, keeping the cells safe and healthy.

Skin care products like SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF serum, with the active ingredient being a stable antioxidant, along with the proven properties of Vitamin c and feurelic acid, are going to provide a strengthened support structure on the inside and a more youthful, firm, radiant appearance on the outside.

I have used this product before and I absolutely love it. It does what it claims to do, decreases brown spots (but wear SPF everyday), soften lines and improve overall complexion. It penetrates into the skin easily and it's not greasy. It won't wash or sweat away or diminish in strength for 24 hours so you only have to use it once a day. The only drawback I had was my skin was a little sensitive the first few days I was using it. It costs about $150 and lasts about 2 months if you use it sparingly.
