What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—the problematic scent—directly overlaps with critic block 6's note that the natural smell "won't be to everyone's tastes," which multiple reviewers found unbearable.
In their words
“I have been using Skin Ceuticals CE Ferulic for more years than I can remember and I love this product. It will always be a part of my daily skin care regime. I’m 60 years old and when I’m out with my daughter people still think we are sisters. I have not had any Botox or filler done yet!”

“I purchased this vitamin C serum because it has the most scientific research behind it. While I appreciate that, there are a few drawbacks. The scent is quite strange, and the applicator is honestly awful. For something that costs $200 an ounce, the dropper should function much better. While I’m trying to apply it, the dropper often releases product on its own onto my counter before I even get it ”
