What are the key ingredients in Phloretin CF?
Phloretin CF is built around Vitamin C 10% L-Ascorbic Acid Antioxidants Ferulic Acid Phloretin. The full INCI list is published on this page, so you can check every ingredient before you commit.
How long does Phloretin CF take to work?
Brightening is gradual. Expect a visibly more even tone after 8–12 weeks, and keep using daily SPF or the pigment will return. Results depend on consistency, and on daily broad-spectrum SPF, which protects the progress you have made.
Can I use Phloretin CF with retinol and vitamin C?
Yes, with care. Apply water-based formulas before oil-based ones, and keep strong acids and retinol in separate sessions: vitamin C suits the morning, retinol the evening.
Is Phloretin CF safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Some actives in Phloretin CF, including retinoids and high-strength acids, are generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please speak to your treating doctor or our skincare advisor before use, and favour gentle, pregnancy-safe alternatives.
How long does one 30ml serum last?
Phloretin CF is supplied as 30ml. Used at the recommended amount twice daily, most people find a bottle of this size lasts roughly two to three months, though that depends on how far you take it, and whether you cover the neck and décolleté as well as the face.
Is Phloretin CF genuine, and where can I buy it in South Africa?
Every Phloretin CF sold on SK1N is sourced through authorised SkinCeuticals distribution and dispatched from South Africa, not grey-market stock. Standard delivery is a flat R150 nationwide, and our consultants can confirm it suits your routine before you buy.
