Ferulic Acid
Antioxidant
Antioxidants inhibit oxidation, or a chemical reaction that leads to cell-damage and are found to correct signs of aging, brighten skin tone, and some antioxidants help stimulate collagen.
Helps with Anti-Aging
Aging skin results from decreased collagen production, sun damage, and slower cell turnover. Proven anti-aging ingredients include retinoids (most effective), vitamin C, peptides, and AHAs. Consistent SPF use prevents further damage.
Helps with Dark Spots
These ingredients are known for their brightening properties, helping to even out skin tone and reduce the look of dark spots or dullness.
