Ferulic acid for redness and sensitivity: how to use it and what to expect

Let's be honest about what Ferulic acid can really do, and what it can't.

What is Ferulic acid

Ferulic acid is an antioxidant that stabilises vitamins C and E and boosts their protection.

How Ferulic acid helps for redness and sensitivity

Redness is often linked to a weakened barrier and dilated surface vessels. Ferulic acid approaches the problem from a different angle: ferulic acid is an antioxidant that stabilises vitamins C and E and boosts their protection. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for redness and sensitivity.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply ferulic acid to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions
