What is Ferulic Acid? A Brief Reminder.
Ferulic acid is an organic acid naturally present in certain fruits and vegetables (spinach, rhubarb, grapes…) as well as in cereals (rice, wheat, oats…) and plants such as red beet, black elder, Roman chamomile… It has excellent antioxidant properties allowing it to neutralize free radicals generated naturally by the body but also by several external factors such as pollution, tobacco, stress. As a reminder, free radicals are reactive oxygen species that degrade cells and healthy proteins in the body, thus accelerating aging.
Ferulic Acid and Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is packed with benefits for the skin, including helping to produce collagen, brighten skin tone and protect the skin from damage caused by sun exposure and harmful free radicals. This powerful antioxidant is found in many serums, facial cleansers, oils, and moisturizers.
Associated with ferulic acid products, their actions are complementary, and the two molecules act in synergy. They effectively fight against photoaging and help keep skin smooth and firm longer.
During your evening routine, for an even and luminous complexion in the morning, you can mix a few drops of ferulic acid skin care product, such as our antioxidant serum, with a small amount of the vitamin C serum, on a clean and dry face. Wait a few seconds, then apply your usual night cream.
You can also apply the ferulic acid serum first and then finish your evening skincare routine with the antioxidant face cream. Less concentrated in vitamin C than the serum, the cream is a suitable alternative for sensitive skin. Like the serum, it fights free radicals, prevents the appearance of fine lines and gives the skin a glow.
Ferulic Acid and Ashitaba Extract.
A symbol of longevity in Japan, ashitaba is a plant rich in flavonoids, antioxidant compounds that have a dual action: they prevent the formation of free radicals and neutralize existing free radicals. Thus, ashitaba extract helps delay the appearance of the first wrinkles by protecting the cells from oxidation.
Ashitaba extract can be combined with ferulic acid. These two molecules offer the skin a global antioxidant protection and revive dull and tired complexions. With this in mind, at Typology we offer you a ferulic acid skin care product mixed with ashitaba extract: our antioxidant serum. You can incorporate it into your regular skin care routine, morning, and night. We recommend that you apply 3 to 4 drops of this serum to your cleansed and dried face and neck. Gently massage the skin with circular motions until it has absorbed all the serum. You can then apply your daily moisturizer adapted to your skin type.
We recommend that you use ferulic acid products for at least 4 weeks to see its effects.
Please note: As a precautionary measure, this serum should not be used by pregnant women as it contains essential oils.
