Skinceutics CE Ferulic

Guys, please tell me that this stuff is worth it...

I got it as a GWP and (although I should have expected it based on the reviews I read) it really does smell like HOT DOG WATER!!!!!  It reeks!

It is worth it, but yes it smells exactly like hot dog water lol! The smell doesn’t linger though, so by the time you applied a HA serum or moisturizer on top it will be gone. Also, it will help if you wash your hands after so the scent is gone from there as well. This was recommended to me by my dermatologist and I am hooked for life (I’ve been on it for 2 years!). I noticed a difference on my skin after 2 weeks using it. Perhaps you can use it for that amount of time and seeif the results are worth it. There’s a patent on the formula, so other brands cannot really put those 3ingredients together (C+E+ferulic Acid), so most brands have a C ferulic formula. In defense of the smell, the Paula’s choiceVitC c product also smells like that from what I can remember.

I got it as a DS sample, too, and I used it up but I'm not going to buy it.  I really liked it, but I like the DDG Ferulic and Retinol moisturizer DS sample just as much, and it doesn't stink like heck.
