Skinceuticals Phloretin CF vs CE Ferulic

Since around 2009 I’ve been a huge fan of SkinCeuticals products. In fact, I’ve used almost nothing but this SkinCeuticals from the time my friend introduced me to SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic almost 10 years ago. Since that time, I’ve also experimented with Phloretin CF, and experienced some great results. And now that I’ve used both of these vitamin C serums for a long time, I thought I’d compare Phloretin CF and CE Ferulic. Both are good quality vitamin C serums for the face, and both are excellent choices depending on your skin type and your personal needs. My friend suggested …

Inflammation can be triggered by viruses, bacteria, yeast infections, and even something as harmless as grass pollen.

CR Blood Test Results (2016)

It’s been quite a while since I had any blood work done, so I went to the doctors recently and arranged to get my blood work checked. I’ll be getting more tests done at some point in the near future, as well as genetic testing. I want to start having more tests done on a frequent basis rather than leaving it years in between getting them done. Just so I can track my health a bit more closely and make adjustments for optimal health. I think it’s vital to get blood tests done at least once a year if you’re …
