Antioxidants are essential to maintain great skin, which is why you need to know about ferulic acid.

Ferulic acid is a naturally occurring compound abundant in the cell walls of many plants, such as rice, wheat, oats, coffee, apples, peanuts and pineapples. It is a potent antioxidant which may have skin benefits when used alone. However, much of the research on ferulic acid in skin care focused on its ability to enhance the effectiveness of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, two antioxidants widely used in skin care.

Research shows that ferulic acid helps to improve the stability of Vitamin C (which can be highly unstable in solution). Additionally, when it was added to a combination of Vitamins C and E, it increased the ability of the duo to protect against damage from UV rays. One study showed a doubling of UV protection with the addition of ferulic acid. It may reduce oxidative stress (which can age skin) and the formation of thymine dymers – DNA mutations which can contribute to the development of skin cancer.
