Reviews

Better and Better

"I am so impressed with this serum. At 73 I have tried many creams, lotions and serums. I have never had the pleasure of writing a great review. I recommend this item totally. It continues to brighten my skin. Whatever it does it makes my 73 year face glow."

— Lynda W. (5/5)

Feels SO Good

"I got a full bottle of this and my friend gave me a small sample of SC vit C. Of course, I’m not in a lab, but Brandefy smells the same and feels the same- perhaps even slightly silkier than the SC. My skin is smoother and brighter after just a couple weeks of use and it works very well under spf and makeup!"

— Mallory D. (5/5)

Glowing Skin!

"My skin feels brighter, smoother, and more even toned, and I love how lightweight and fast absorbing it is. After consistent use, I’ve noticed a healthy glow and improved texture, and I really appreciate the added antioxidant protection."

— christina l. (5/5)

Worth it, good value!

"I can definitely notice a change in the tone and texture of my skin when I use this regularly. It’s also a great value and lasts me a couple of months. It can initially feel a tad oily in texture but soaks in quickly and I’ve not noticed that it causes any breakouts or clogged pores. I have ordered multiple times and will continue to!"

— Jadda B. (5/5)

"This is the real deal I bought the $200 bottle from SkinCeuticals and I quit because it was just so outrageous and you cannot deny the smell. It has the same exact smell. This stuff is the real deal! BUY IT"

— Spasha (5/5)

I switched from SkinCeuticals to

"I switched from SkinCeuticals to Bradefy. This is so much more affordable and I think the products are really good. Definitely give it a try."

— Lory B. (5/5)

Skinceunticals patent expired

"I've been waiting for Skinceunticals patent to expire. Finally it did and brandely jumped in. I switched over to brandely a year or so ago and my skin still enjoys the same benefits I received from Skinceunticals, at a more reasonable price. Thank you brandely, I LOVE this product."

— Joan G. (5/5)

Vitamin C

"Makes my skin feel amazing. After only a few uses, I can see a difference in the texture of my skin and evenness of my skin tone."

— Jenna J. (5/5)

Great Product

"This serum feels great going on and absorbs quickly. Feels just like the “other” Brad CE Ferulic"

— Margaret H. (5/5)

Amazing!

"Wow is all I can say. I have used other vitamin C serums and decided to try this one since I liked the tri-lipid moisturizer so much. I have seen a huge difference in the texture and evenness of my skin. And I tend to have a lot of redness and can see a big improvement in that as well. Excellent serum!"

— Dawn E. (5/5)

Q&A

My c&e is orange color is it still good to use
Hi Luba! Please email us a photo of the serum color at hello@brandefyskin.com and we can take a closer look for you.
Is this good for rosesa or sensitive skin
Hi there! If you have rosacea or very sensitive skin, we always recommend patch testing first, as everyone's skin can react differently—especially to pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). If you're more blemish-prone, our Clinical Vitamin C + Silym Clarify Serum may be a better option. If you have any questions about your skin or routine, we'd be happy to help!
Is there alcohol in the ingredients?
No our Clinical Vit C + E + Ferulic Defend Serum is alcohol free.
Hi there, do you have any plans to sell or ship to the UK?
Hi there! At this time we are only shipping within the United States.
I brought clinical v c+E ferulic and clinical vit c + silym . What order should I put them on? I was using skin critical c e ferulic and p-tiox, thank you . I might of brought the wrong things
Hi there! For Vitamin C, our Clinical Vit C + E + Ferulic and Clinical Vit C + Silymarin are actually designed for different skin types, so they’re not meant to be used together in the same routine. No worries at all if you accidentally grabbed both! Just email us at hello@brandefyapp.com, and we’ll help you sort this out and make sure you have the right product for your routine. We’re also happy to send you a recommended product to pair with your Vitamin C so you’re getting the best results. Let us know how we can help!
I used to use the skinceuticals. My dermatologist told me to use it with a retinol containing moisturizer. I see you say not to use it with retinols. Why is that?
Hi there! Great question. Vitamin C and retinol are both powerful, clinically backed actives, but because they’re strong in different ways, it’s best not to layer them at the same time. Vitamin C shines in the morning, helping protect skin from free radical damage throughout the day, while retinol works best at night to support cell turnover and collagen production. So the golden rule is: Vitamin C in the AM, retinol in the PM. That way, you get the benefits of both without overwhelming your skin. Of course, since everyone’s skin is unique, we always recommend checking in with your dermatologist if you’re unsure about your specific routine.
pH?
Our vitamin C serum is formulated at a pH below 4 to keep it potent and effective, exactly where your skin needs it.
Will storing the serum in a refrigerator (but ensuring the product doesn't freeze) extend shelf-life?
Yes! It's typically recommended to store serum in a cool, dark place to preserve its effectiveness, so keeping it in the refrigerator (as long as it doesn’t freeze) is okay.
Is it 30 ML?
Our vitamin C serum is 1 fl oz / 30 ml!
My product has started to turn orange after about half the bottle has been used up. Does this mean it’s no longer effective?
Hi, there! Your Vitamin C is still effective! Our Vitamin C serum contains L-Ascorbic Acid, which is a pure form of Vitamin C. Over time, this ingredient will slowly begin to change in color, but is still effective as it changes, until it is brown. We recommend replenishing your Vitamin C serum every 6 months, or when it turns brown. You can also store in a cool, dark place to help it last as long as possible. Please email us at hello@brandefyskin.com with any further questions regarding your Vitamin C serum, and know that we are happy to replace if you have any concerns!
