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.

Should I pair CE Serum with a sunscreen?
