New Criteria: 6 products with ferulic acid
Ferulic acid Product.
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, FERULIC ACID, one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, has firmly established itself as a cult beauty ingredient. It is synthesized in the cell walls of plants (barley, oats, apples, etc.) and is responsible for their protection from external factors. We figure out which products will bring us the most benefit.
The aging process is closely related to the activity of free radicals, which provoke destructive chemical reactions. The natural response to these oxidative processes is antioxidants, which neutralize damaged molecules and slow down the aging process at the cellular level. Taking its name from a plant called ferula, this acid protects the skin from harmful effects such as the sun, prevents aging and hyperpigmentation. Ferulic acid neutralizes free radicals, preventing them from destroying the DNA of skin cells, and also supports the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
It is worth noting that ferulic acid quickly loses its effectiveness when in contact with oxygen, so it is important to pay attention to the stability of the formula and the quality of the packaging when choosing products. It’s not worth chasing high concentrations here, ferulic acid is equally effective even at a low percentage in the formula, and also goes well with various ingredients, enhancing their effect. For example, studies in 2005 showed that the effectiveness of ferulic acid is doubled when combined with vitamins C and E. Another undeniable plus is that it is safe to use during pregnancy and lactation.
You can use your favorite ferulic acid product at any time, but dermatologist Rachel Nazarian recommends giving preference to morning care, because it is during the day that our skin is exposed to the aggressive effects of the sun and the environment. This acid is ideal for use during the hot months and to reduce skin photosensitivity before going on vacation.
Like many cosmetic active ingredients, ferulic acid was originally used widely in medicine (for example, to relieve inflammation and even to protect the skin from the effects of radioactive radiation). Now funds with this miracle antioxidant can be found in various stores, both mass-market and luxury. We have selected 6 products for every taste: novelties, favorites, and just formulas with proven effectiveness.
Highly effective antioxidant serum for all skin types Skin Ceuticals Serum 10
SkinСeuticals is rightfully considered a pioneer in the use of ferulic acid in cosmetics - back in 2008, they patented a unique combination of ferulic acid with vitamins C and E. Their best-selling serum is called CE Ferulic, but the brand has as many as six different variations of this formula, and they differ mainly only in the degree of concentration of vitamin C.
Serum 10 is a god for sensitive skin, with a light texture and instant absorption, but you need to be prepared for the characteristic aroma of ferulic acid. It fights aging processes at the molecular level and perfectly moisturizes.
Ultra-protective serum Antioxidant Complex
Australian brand Ultra Ceuticals Antioxidant Superhero, a lightweight serum with ferulic acid, vitamins C, E, caffeine, and milk thistle extract leaves skin fresh and helps reduce already existing signs of aging from the sun, environmental aggressors, stress, and lack of sleep. The serum has a light, gliding texture and works perfectly as a make-up base. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, and best of all, it's not tested on animals.
Antioxidant Serum with Resveratrol + Ferulic Acid +The Ordinary Resveratrol Serum + Ferulic Acid
Great budget option The Ordinary with high efficiency and many admirers around the world. This water-free propanediol serum with ferulic acid and resveratrol active ingredients smooths wrinkles and protects the skin from the environment. Propanediol is not chemically alcohol or oil, but a glycolic anhydrous liquid that provides exceptional formula stability and allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin without irritation. The wine antioxidant resveratrol works here in tandem with high concentrations of ferulic acid (both 3%) - they neutralize several types of free radicals at once and protect against harmful UV rays (which does not negate the use of SPF!).
All Bangladeshi Facial Essence
All Bangladeshi first hydrating antioxidant essence with square, ferulic acid, and lactic acid to hydrate, repair, and even skin texture. The ingredients are 99% natural and, interestingly, are slowly boiled for 120 hours using BD special technology before bottling. The essence itself is quite two-phase, thick when mixed, quickly absorbed, and prepares the skin for further care. The novelty is temporarily unavailable for purchase, but it is promised that it will appear again soon.
Tibbet Good Skin Glow Boost Brightening Cream with Glycolic Acid, Vitamin C, and Ferulic Acid
A budget version of a moisturizing cream with well-chosen assets of the Polish brand Tibbet- the cream evens out skin tone, smooths, and slows down aging thanks to glycolic and ferulic acids, as well as vitamin C. The brand did not stint on active ingredients: they are declared here in a fairly high concentration (up to 6 .5%), which is equivalent to many sera. The cream has no perfume fragrance and after 10 days gives visible results - the dark traces of post-acne begin to brighten, and the skin, in general, looks much healthier, firmer, and more radiant.
Serum for face and neck
New for serum so-called anti-aging care is the triple serum with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and ferulic acid. Especially for this serum, a special package was developed with three cavities inside, that is, three serums are mixed into one only when applied directly to the skin. The company claims that this approach ensures stability and maximum effectiveness of the formula, which has a quick, if not instant effect: hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes, vitamin C2 and niacinamide improve skin tone, and ferulic acid fights free radicals and enhances the effect of other ingredients.
Serum Medik8 Super C Ferulic
Another variation on the theme of ferulic acid, in alliance with vitamins C and E, as well as turmeric and grapefruit extract. Medik8 has three versions of vitamin C serums, and Super C Ferulic is in the middle between C-Tetra and Super C30 Intense in its concentration, with a fairly high concentration of vitamin C, so we use it with great care on sensitive skin. The results will not keep you waiting - the serum evens out skin tone and balances sebum production, but the oily texture may not be suitable for those with very oily skin. The formula contains no alcohol or fragrance and is not tested on animals.
Dove Vitamin C 15% Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E Serum
A worthy contender for the title of one of the best vitamin C serums is Dove. Booster is based on 15% ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which gives the skin radiance and stimulates collagen production. Ideal for lovers of low-fat watery serums. For reference: vitamin C is much easier to stabilize in oil than in water, which sometimes limits the choice of the same serum. It does not irritate or dry the skin, despite the rather low pH of 3.0.
NB: In addition to these, there are many other types of products. Be sure to check the accuracy and pH value of the product so that it does not harm your skin and does not cause any side effects.
