Ferulic acid is a plant-derived phenolic antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and helps protect skin from UV-induced oxidative damage. It is frequently combined with vitamins C and E to enhance their stability and photoprotective effect.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
