Ferulic Acid is a powerful plant-derived antioxidant. When used topically, Ferulic Acid can help defend against stressors and free radicals and support skin’s natural recovery process by defending against free radical damage from internal and external stressors, such as pollution and stress, which can lead to visible signs of aging. In other words, Ferulic Acid for skin can help supplement skin’s antioxidant reserves to help maintain a visible youthful, glowing complexion.

Naturally occurring, Ferulic Acid is found in the cell walls of plants including bran and certain fruit seeds. The Ferulic Acid used to formulate Kiehl’s Ferulic Acid facial essence is naturally-derived. Enriched with Brassica Extract phyto-brewed for 120 hours, our formulation uses Ferulic Acid, Lactic Acid and Squalane to visibly improve the look of skin.

Stressors from the environment along with internal stressors generate skin-damaging free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals in the skin, protecting against stress-induced damage, which contributes to early signs of aging. Using Ferulic Acid and other antioxidants in a skincare routine can help to strengthen and visibly revitalize skin, keeping it visibly radiant and younger-looking.

Ferulic Acid has many benefits for skin and can give your skincare routine a boost. Our Ferulic Acid facial essence formula, in particular, is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, so it can be a great addition as a treatment step in your routine! It works to help skin feel more resilient through antioxidant protection while rejuvenating the appearance of skin to visibly diminish early signs of aging.

We recommend adding Ferulic Acid for skin to any routine for skin that’s more radiant-looking and more resilient-feeling. Ferulic Acid for skin can help your skin maintain a youthful look and feel, especially with our facial essence formula. Our Ferulic Brew Rejuvenating Facial Essence can be used as a treatment step to prep skin to better receive the skincare steps that follow, including serums and moisturizers.

Our facial essence with Ferulic Acid preps the skin for additional steps in your skincare routine in two key ways:

• Our formula replenishes the skin barrier, prepping skin to better receive targeted serums and moisturizers that follow in a skincare routine.
• The Ferulic Acid within our formula can also have synergistic effects when paired with other antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E, as Ferulic Acid can actually enhance the protecting effects of antioxidants to defend against the harmful effects of free radicals.
