What are the key ingredients in Silymarin CF?
Silymarin CF is built around Vitamin C 15% Salicylic Acid L-Ascorbic Acid Silymarin Ferulic Acid. The full INCI list is published on this page, so you can check every ingredient before you commit.
How long does Silymarin CF take to work?
Congestion and oiliness usually improve within 4–8 weeks. Keep the routine consistent rather than adding more actives. Results depend on consistency, and on daily broad-spectrum SPF, which protects the progress you have made.
Can I use Silymarin 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 Silymarin CF safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Some actives in Silymarin 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?
Silymarin 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 Silymarin CF genuine, and where can I buy it in South Africa?
Every Silymarin 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.
