Hi...
I've been making my own C serum...but somehow it's not
doing the trick. I've narrowed my search to Timeless
or Cosmetic Skin Solutions Serums.
I found another one with good reviews...Superb Essence,
all 20%, the latter is $10 cheaper. And contains the same ingredients, ie. C, E, Hyaluronic acid, BUT NOT ferulic?....Is this important to have?...I'm really watching my money, but
it it is important, I'll get the more expensive seurm...
Thanks

Yes it's that important.
Ferulic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found primarily in plant cell walls. It is a potent antioxidant and may have skin benefits even when used alone. However, skin care related studies of ferulic acid focused on its ability to enhance the effects of vitamins C and E. Preliminary research indicates that ferulic acid may improve the stability of Vitamin C in water solution. Also, the addition of ferulic acid to the combination of vitamins C and E appears to increase protection from UV-induced skin damage. In one study, the addition of ferulic acid to a vitamin C + vitamin E formula almost doubled the UV-protection benefits. Whether ferulic acid affects the ability of vitamin C to increase collagen synthesis is unclear.
