I am lover of serums, but never have I encountered one quite like the FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic 16+2 Serum. Typically I like serums because they are lighter than most moisturizers, which is heaven to someone like me who has suffered her whole life with oily-skin problems like acne and scarring. Moisturizers aren’t necessarily a problem, but when something is a bit thinner it seems to work better for me.
The Vitamin CE Caffeic 16+2 Serum is actually pretty thick and sort of sticky. I wasn’t in love at first. I was sort of panicked actually. I don’t typically accept things for review that I don’t think I will love. So, for testing sake I stuck it out and followed directions. I used it exactly as it says to. I applied little to almost none all over my face. It was pretty sticky but after I applied my moisturizer over it the stickiness would disappear. My face still felt like it had something on it though and applying actual makeup overtop became useless. I do need to note that I have a limited time to get ready in the morning. If I gave the product the time it needs to sink in I would definitely be ok for makeup application.
I kept right on doing the serum and moisturizer thing everyday (morning and night) without applying makeup for daytime. Luckily my job doesn’t force me to deal directly with the public so I didn’t really mind going to work looking plain. But after about a week of doing this I started to see my skin transforming. I am a highly freckled person. Some of it is sun damage because I love the outdoors. This serum made my freckles lighten and somewhat disappear. My redness and discoloration had drastically improved. Even though it is a rare thing that I break out anymore, I do still have an occasional blemish but during the weeks I tested this NOT ONE came about.
That is my story…
… as for all of the product info, here goes.
“This brightening, tightening serum contains an unprecedented 16% vitamin C, 2% vitamin E, and caffeic acid, all suspended in a state-of-the-art silicone base.
Unlike other vitamin C serums on the market, FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic Serum is microencapsulated, meaning that it has sustained release of vitamin C for hours at a time. FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic also leaves the skin smooth, with an exclusive molecular lattice network through which the beneficial ingredients can reach the skin. Together with caffeic acid, which has been shown in independent studies to be more potent of an antioxidant than ferulic acid, the benefits of FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic Serum can be experienced in as little as 8 days. It is truly revolutionary.” – FutureDerm

So for a demonstration I wanted to show you what it does to my hand INSTANTLY. On the left you see my hand free of any sort of product or moisturizer. You can see in the far left and middle picture that my hand is really dry… looking sort of like the cracked surface of a dried up lake or body of water. In the middle picture I placed 3 tiny drops of the serum. The warmth of my hand thinned the serum out within seconds and it started spreading on its own. This tiny bit of product actually moisturized the back of my hand and my entire arm up to my elbow. YES! That small amount is enough for my ARM. On the right, you can see that the cracky looking skin is gone. It is shiny, plump and healthy. This was all within one minute. It has now been an hour since I applied he product and the stickiness is completely gone but the youthful shiny plumpness remains.
FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic Serum is really fantastic. I am in awe. The science that Nicki Zevola from FutureDerm put into this has proven perfection. It retails for $89 and the 1.7 fl oz bottle is enough to last you forever. I have had my bottle for almost a month and I have only used 1/10 of it. And that was me being pretty careless at first and applying too much. The results are honestly out of this world. I have been leaving my house for almost a month now not wearing makeup, yall! This is serious. You need to go get you a bottle of perfect skin in a jar!
