Ferulic Acid
The Skincare Ingredient You Need To Try Now: Ferulic Acid
By Lily Sage
When it comes to advances in skincare products, technology is moving faster than our cell turnover rate. Anti-aging is a broad spectrum; one end of the spectrum is prevention and maintenance, while the other end of the spectrum is correction and maintenance.
Ferulic Acid is an ingredient that will benefit you no matter what end of the spectrum you are on at this moment. It will gently but effectively treat uneven skin tone (a.k.a. Hyperpigmentation), and promote collagen production. It will also improve elasticity and tone resulting in a brighter, firmer, and smoother complexion. I think we can all agree that we want our skincare products to produce some, if not all these amazing results.
Ferulic Acid is derived from the plant walls of wheat, rice, oranges, and apples. Imagine an ingredient that would make every other ingredient work more effectively. It is the ultimate team player in that it works well in combination with other antioxidants.
At specific percentages, Ferulic Acid is able to aid in stabilizing Vitamin C by inhibiting oxidation, and it also helps to act as an antioxidant booster so Vitamin C and Vitamin E can work more effectively at fighting environmental damage. If you are concerned with hyperpigmentation, firming, fine lines and wrinkles, it’s time to invest in a specialized product with Ferulic Acid. Here are my top recommendations for products that will give great results.
Dermadoctor is a clinical skincare brand created by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Audrey Kunin. The Kakadu serum will help to treat fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dullness, and firming. Over time your skin will become softer and more radiant. Fun Skincare Fact: the Kakadu Plum is a super-fruit found in Australia, and has fifty-five times more Vitamin C than Florida Oranges. This product is great for all skin types even sensitive, and is allergy tested, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and non-comedogenic. This product is formulated for daytime use, and be sure to follow with a moisturizer and SPF.

Our skin needs to repairs itself from all the damage incurred from long hours at work, rush hour traffic, and too many lattes. The Dr. Gross Ferulic + Retinol Anti-Aging Moisturizer provides excellent hydration, brightens the skin, and firms. Ferulic Acid improves the efficacy of the other antioxidants in the formula, and the formula helps to maintain collagen production naturally within your skin. His exclusive ECG complex targets the Fibroblast cells, which are the cells in your skin that produce collagen.
