Ferulic acid not only provides increased stability to a solution of vitamins C+E, but also adds a substantial synergistic photo-protection, essentially doubling its efficacy. Moreover, it provides additional protection against thymine dimer formation that should prove useful for prevention of skin cancer. What does ferulic acid do for your face?

Ferulic acid prevents the appearance of new blood vessels under the skin. Your skin will have fewer visible veins and less redness. Fading and preventing dark spots. Ferulic acid protects skin from the discoloration that comes from sun exposure or a genetic tendency for dark spots.

In addition, ferulic acid has been shown to have brightening and skin-evening properties, making it an effective ingredient for treating hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone. It can help to fade dark spots and improve overall skin radiance.
