The Different Types of Ferulic Acid Products.

Ferulic acid owes its name to a plant named Ferula, a herbaceous plant that belongs to the Apiecae family. However, this organic acid is also found in certain cereals (wheat, barley), in the bark of trees such as pine or in several fruits and vegetables (rhubarb, grapes, spinach...).

Thanks to its global anti-oxidant power, it brings many benefits to the skin. It acts as a barrier and fights effectively against the aggression of free radicals and thus slows down the appearance of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It calms redness and possible irritations. It also helps to brighten and illuminate dull complexions.

Ferulic acid skin care formulas generally contain a percentage between 1.5 and 3% of this ingredient. It is mainly found in serums to lighten and even out the complexion and prevent the appearance of pigmentation spots and/or wrinkles. In night and day creams, it is often combined with vitamin C for an overall antioxidant action. It is also found in the composition of certain sun creams or mists for its ability to neutralize free radicals and thus prevent photoaging.
