There probably isn't any difference. Skinceuticals just charge more because they are more "science-y" and do the research more or less themselves and try to justify their pricepoint with that.

Do you have a listing of the other ingredients in the serums tho? Some things can cause a difference even tho the major ingredients are the same.

Re: Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Cosmetic Skin Solutions C+E Ferulic serum

Skinceuticals CE ferulic serum is patented, so I don't see how another product could be *exactly* the same. It could have some of the same main ingredients, but couldn't be a dupe. Still, if it works for you who cares?

Re: Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Cosmetic Skin Solutions C+E Ferulic serum

There really is no difference, I have used both. The Skinceuticals I used for 2 months earlier this year and the Cosmetic Skin Solutions I am using for 3 months now; the only difference is that the Skinceuticals is yellowish-brown and teh Cosmetic Skin Solution is crystal clear. The Cosmetic Skin Solutions one, however, contains C, E, Ferulic, Hyaluronic, and also Zinc Sulfate which strengthens the skin and keeps acne away.

Yellowish brown? Mine was a bright yellow, but yours may have been old if it was more brown. Did you save some that you could pH test it to see if the pH rose and it was not effective any longer LnL?

Re: Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Cosmetic Skin Solutions C+E Ferulic serum

I started using it the day it was delivered to my front steps, it was yellowish-brown when I opened, I didnt think anything of it as it was my first Vitamin C serum and since its from a reputable company, I didnt question it, but then I did more research and I still believe that C serums are not as effective or oxidized if they come like that color.

Re: Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Cosmetic Skin Solutions C+E Ferulic serum

My Skinceuticals C serum was never yellowish-brown. A lightish yellow definately, but never brownish. Now, I have let my DIY C serum sit for awhile to see what color it would turn and it did turn a brownish color. Now that stuff I definately would NOT use!!!

Re: Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Cosmetic Skin Solutions C+E Ferulic serum

I e-mailed cosmetic skin solutions regarding their ingredients for the c e ferulic serum, and this is what I received. The ingredient list appears to be identical to the skinceuticals serum , at least in terms of the ingredients and order. Maybe there is a difference in exact amount(s) used for the non active ingredients...

INGREDIENTS: Aqua(water), Ethoxydiglycol,
L-Ascorbic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Laureth-23,
Alpha Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Triethanolamine,
Ferulic Acid, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate.
