Key Ingredients & Their Effects

0.5% Silymarin (milk thistle extract)

Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant derived from milk thistle that inhibits lipid peroxidation, a process that can lead to acne and visible signs of skin aging. It has been shown to reduce skin shine, refine pores, and improve skin texture.

15% Pure Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, stimulates collagen production, and softens fine lines. Combined with Silymarin, Ferulic Acid, and Salicylic Acid, it creates an oil-free, highly effective shield.

0.5% Ferulic Acid

Ferulic acid is a plant-based antioxidant that increases the stability of vitamin C, doubles antioxidant protection, and additionally protects against UV-induced damage – crucial for the oil-free formula.

0.5% Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates deep into pores, removing excess sebum, unclogging pores, and refining skin texture – ideal for oily and blemish-prone skin.

Clinical results

• Reduces lipid peroxidation by up to 76% (clinically proven)
• Visibly reduces skin shine & refines pores
• Improves skin clarity & texture
• Visibly reduces fine lines
• Offers advanced protection against environmental damage (UVA/UVB, IR-A, O3)

Special Features in Detail

The first Vitamin C formula specifically for oily & blemish-prone skin

Silymarin CF is groundbreaking as it combines the antioxidant power of Vitamin C with skin-clarifying ingredients – developed for the unique needs of oily and blemish-prone skin.

Inhibition of Lipid Peroxidation – The Key to Combating Oily Skin Aging

Lipid peroxidation is a process in which free radicals attack skin lipids—this can lead to acne, inflammation, and accelerated skin aging. Silymarin CF inhibits this process by up to 76%.

Oil-free & non-comedogenic - does not clog pores

The oil-free formula was specifically developed not to clog pores (non-comedogenic). Ideal for oily skin prone to blackheads and blemishes.

5-in-1 Effect: Protection, Shine Control, Pore Refining, Clarifying & Anti-Aging

Silymarin CF offers a five-fold effect: antioxidant protection, reduction of skin shine, pore refinement, complexion clarification, and softening of fine lines – all in an oil-free serum.

Proven effective for oily and blemished skin

Clinical studies have shown that Silymarin CF reduces lipid peroxidation by up to 76%, visibly reduces skin shine, refines skin texture, and improves complexion clarity and the appearance of fine lines.

Application

Apply Silymarin CF to your entire face, neck, and décolleté every morning after cleansing. 3-5 drops are sufficient. Gently pat the serum into your skin until fully absorbed. Follow with an oil-free, mattifying moisturizer and sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).

Tip: For maximum results on oily, blemish-prone skin, apply Silymarin CF daily in the morning. Combine it with a mineral, mattifying sunscreen (e.g., SkinCeuticals Oil Shield UV Defense) and a gentle cleanser (e.g., SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Cleanser).

Storage: Store the serum in a cool, dark place (not the bathroom). The formula is sensitive to heat and light. A slight yellow tint is normal and does not affect efficacy.

Package size: 30 ml – ideal for daily use over several weeks to a month.
