Opinions on Ferulic Acid.

Ferulic acid is a potent antioxidant used in cosmetics to combat photoaging of the skin. It is also known for its benefits on brown spots and dull complexions. Generally well tolerated by all skin types, its percentage is often between 1.5 and 3%. Here are some opinions on the subject.

Fatima NDIAYE, R&D Project Manager at Typology, shares her opinion.

"Ferulic acid remains somewhat underused in cosmetic formulas. However, its potent antioxidant properties effectively combat free radicals and the damage they inflict on the skin (wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation spots...). This active ingredient also provides a real boost to dull and tired complexions. However, it should preferably be used in the evening as it can cause photosensitivity."

Opinions on the antioxidant serum.

Our antioxidant serum is concentrated with two antioxidant actives: ferulic acid (3%) and resveratrol (3%). It is recommended for unifying and brightening dull and tired complexions caused by age and/or external aggressions. Here are some comments from our users about it:

  • Alain T. (18/01/2021): "Immediate effect on facial skin. The serum provides a pleasant sensation of warmth. It gives a visibly toned appearance. Mature skin is truly revitalised."

  • Amélie D. (10/09/2019): "Superb! I use it mixed with aloe vera. It provides a smoothing, fatigue-reducing and healthy glow effect."

  • Julia S. (09/06/2020): "Having sensitive skin, I experienced a reaction during the first 3 or 4 days of using the product (bearable tingling). My skin quickly adapted and it is now much smoother. The result is truly noticeable. I am won over."

  • Amandine M. (24/07/2021): "Serum used for 4 weeks, it complements well with the anti-oxidant mist. It warms up a bit during application but no unpleasant sensation, it absorbs quickly if applied in small amounts. The complexion is more even and luminous."

  • Alizée S. (16/04/2021): "In the evening, it is very comfortable and one wakes up looking refreshed. As for the spots, I have the impression that they are less noticeable."

Thus, users agree that this serum has a thick texture but it quickly penetrates through the skin. Some have observed results very quickly, with a brighter complexion, smoother and firmer skin texture, and diminished brown spots.

Regarding its use, we advise you to apply 3 to 4 drops on your face and neck, which should be previously cleaned and dried, during your evening routine. A sensation of warmth may occur after applying the antioxidant serum. You can then apply your daily moisturising cream suitable for your skin type. We recommend using the antioxidant serum for at least 4 weeks to see its effects.

Please note : This serum naturally turns yellow over time. This effect does not diminish the product's effectiveness.
