There are two defining beauty moments I can recall during my years of testing skincare in my job as a beauty editor. The first is my skin before discovering SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum. The second is my skin afterwards. Way back when I was an intern, every beauty editor I knew swore by this £165 elixir, which is filled with a complexion-boosting, brightening and glowing cocktail of vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E. Put it this way: it was the product most likely to disappear under mysterious circumstances from beauty cupboards in the magazine offices I worked in.
After going through a couple of bottles, I can confidently say that it is my favourite serum of all time, hands down. This is a shame for my bank balance though, as £165 is way, way out of my budget, and if it weren’t for a job in which I get to test beauty products for a living, I’d be very hesitant to drop that amount of money on a serum, let alone if I had never tried it before.
So, when I tried Beauty Pie Superdose Vitamin C C-Suite Rapid Action Power Brightener (£17), I was shocked that its effects mirrored the results I’d seen when using SkinCeuticals, but with a price tag of just £17 for Beauty Pie members (or £100 for non-members). Read on for my honest review of Beauty Pie’s Superdose Vitamin C Serum.
