Skinceuticals C E Ferulic

March 7th, 2010 No comments

I first learned about SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum at one of their training sessions when I was just an esthetic student. I was fascinated by the studies they showed using pig skin (eek!) that was treated with the serum and without.

When my favorite perfume was discontinued, I started hunting around for a new one. I got many different testers of new perfumes from Sephora that didn’t work for me. Then I remembered that Ginger Perfume from Origins that, about 5 years ago, I’d put on my list of perfumes to try.

I always recommend getting testers and wearing it for a few days before deciding to buy. Or, buy it from a place that will allow returns of used perfume (like Sephora, Macys, Nordstrom).
What this review is about is one of the samples I was given after I purchased said perfume (they didn’t have perfume testers, but they do have a great return policy at the Macys location!): Read on for more details…
