Ferulic Acid + Resveratrol

This serum pairs two plant-derived antioxidants in one bottle. Ferulic acid helps reduce the look of redness and keeps skin feeling comfortable and well-conditioned, and resveratrol supports a brighter, more even-looking tone — so between them they cover skin that faces everyday environmental stress.

• Provides antioxidant support against everyday environmental stress
• Helps reduce the appearance of redness for a visibly calmer complexion
• Helps promote a brighter, more even-looking skin tone over time
• Supports a comfortable, well-conditioned skin surface
• Complements other antioxidants when used together

• In the morning, after cleansing and before moisturizer and sunscreen. Evening works too, as part of a brightening routine.
• Across the whole face, including the skin around the eyes.
• Daily from the first day. There is no settling-in period, no purge and no need to build up.
• These two are studied separately rather than as a pair, so think of a serum holding both as giving you each ingredient's own contribution, not a third thing they do together.
• A rich or slightly greasy feel is the most common comment on this kind of serum — ferulic acid needs an oil-leaning base. A lighter moisturizer over the top usually settles it.
• Skin can look a little shinier through the T-zone with regular resveratrol use. Worth knowing if shine is something you watch.
• Store it sealed, away from light and heat. If the serum has darkened, the antioxidants are spent and it is time to replace it.
• Wear sunscreen daily. Ferulic acid works alongside sunscreen and is not a substitute for it, and neither ingredient makes skin more sun-sensitive.
• It sits naturally beside vitamin C and vitamin E, which often share the same bottle.
• Resveratrol has been reported as a contact allergen. If you know you react to it, patch test before first use.

Discontinue use if unexpected discomfort occurs. If you have known sensitivity to resveratrol, patch test on a small area first.

No cosmetic regulator in these four markets sets a maximum strength for ferulic acid + resveratrol. That is a limit on the rules, not a signal to use more: how much goes into a product is the formulator's decision.
