What Are Those Ingredients in Your Skin-Care Products?
Ferulic Acid
Also known as: 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid.
Good for: Dry skin, normal skin.
What it treats: Sun damage, aging.
How it works: Usually combined with vitamins C and E, "ferulic acid helps stabilize them," says Barbara R. Reed, a clinical professor of
dermatology at the University of Colorado Health Science Center, in Denver. This doubles their power as sun-protective agents
and boosts their ability to neutralize free radicals.
