What color should CE serum be when first opened?
When you first open a bottle of CE Serum, you should expect it to have a clear to slightly pale yellow color due to its vitamin C content. Over time, exposure to light and air may cause it to darken slightly, but it’s still effective as long as it remains within its recommended shelf life.
How long does a bottle last after it’s opened?
The shelf life of CE Serum after opening varies depending on factors such as storage conditions and frequency of use. On average, a bottle of CE Serum should last 30-36 months, and up to 6 months after it’s opened. To maximize its lifespan, keep it in a cool, dark place and tightly seal the bottle after each use.
What does CE Serum smell like?
CE Serum typically has a subtle, earthy scent that many users find pleasant and not overpowering.
Can CE Serum be used with a retinoid or retinol?
Yes, CE Serum can be used with a retinoid or retinol, but it's important to apply them at different times of the day. Use CE Serum in the morning as part of your daytime skincare routine and your retinoid/retinol at night. This separation helps maximize the benefits of both products without causing irritation.
How and When Should I Apply CE Serum?
To apply CE Serum, start with clean, dry skin. Dispense a few drops onto your fingertips and gently massage the serum onto your face and neck. It's best to use it in the morning, as the vitamin C in the serum provides additional protection against UV damage. Follow it up with your regular moisturizer and sunscreen.
How should I store CE Serum after opening?
After opening, store CE Serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed to prevent air and light exposure, which can degrade the product over time.

Results vary from person to person, but many people see improvements in their skin's texture and tone within a few weeks of daily use.
Can I Use CE Serum if I have sensitive skin?
CE Serum is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if your skin is highly sensitive, apply the product on a small area before using it on your face to ensure there is no adverse reaction.
Should I pair CE Serum with a sunscreen?
Yes, it's highly recommended to pair CE Serum with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. The vitamin C in CE Serum is not only an antioxidant, it’s also photoprotective. Use both together for synergistic sun protection.
