The Vitamin C Shakeup: What SkinCeuticals’ Patent Expiration Means for Your Skin

An iconic skincare formula just started a new chapter in the public domain and the serum shelf is about to get crowded.

In this episode of The Radiance Source, Dr. Orie breaks down what it means now that SkinCeuticals' patent on their C E Ferulic Vitamin C formula has officially expired. This is no ordinary product expiration - it's the end of an era and the beginning of a new wave of copycats, contenders, and maybe even some flops (or another Vitamin C breakthrough product).

What you'll learn:

• The science that made Vitamin C work in the first place
• What made SkinCeuticals' formula special - and nearly untochable for 20 years
• How brands are rushing to reverse engineer their own "dupe"
• How to read between the lables (and the marketing fluff)
• 5 expert tips to actually choose a Vitamin C serum that works

Whether you're loyal to luxury skincare or curious about clean beauty on a budget, this episode arms you with the clinical knowledge to make smart, science-backed choices in a post-patent skincare world.
