Ferulic acid almost never works alone, so it pays to know what it is doing in the bottle. Our ferulic acid glossary entry explains how it behaves and why formulators pair it with vitamin C, while the Academy's guide to vitamin C serums compares the forms and strengths it is usually blended with — useful if you are deciding which of these serums fits your routine.

Frequently asked questions
Which ferulic acid serum should I start with?
Which ferulic acid serum should I start with?
Match it to your skin type: normal-to-dry skin gets the classic C E Ferulic, combination-to-oily skin does better on Phloretin CF, and blemish- or redness-prone skin suits Silymarin CF. If you are new to vitamin C or on the sensitive side, begin with Serum 10 AOX+, which uses a lower acid concentration. All four are ferulic-stabilised SkinCeuticals antioxidants.
How do I apply a ferulic vitamin C serum?
How do I apply a ferulic vitamin C serum?
Press four to five drops onto clean, dry skin every morning before moisturiser and SPF — ferulic acid stabilises the vitamin C and boosts its antioxidant shield against daylight. Give it 30 seconds to sink in, then layer your SkinCeuticals sunscreen on top. One bottle lasts around three months at that dose.
What does ferulic acid actually do in these serums?
What does ferulic acid actually do in these serums?
Ferulic acid is a plant antioxidant that stabilises the L-ascorbic acid and vitamin E beside it, roughly doubling the formula's environmental defence. In C E Ferulic that shows as firmer, brighter-looking skin and a visible softening of fine lines over time. It also keeps the serum potent for longer once the bottle is opened.
Can I use it around my eyes?
Can I use it around my eyes?
Keep the facial serums below the orbital bone and use the AOX+ Eye Gel for the delicate eye area — it carries the same ferulic-stabilised antioxidants in a lighter texture that de-puffs the look of tired eyes. Pat a rice-grain amount along the socket each morning. The two work as a set under SPF.
Which SkinCeuticals set gives the best daily protection?
Which SkinCeuticals set gives the best daily protection?
The Double Defence kits pair a Phloretin CF or Silymarin CF serum with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 — the antioxidant-plus-sunscreen combination I recommend for daily prevention. Antioxidants neutralise the daylight your sunscreen doesn't block, so together they guard tone and firmness better than either alone. As an authorised SkinCeuticals stockist we dispatch orders placed before 2pm the same day.
