JAKARTA - There are many types of acid in skincare products, including hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and azelaic acid. Most recently, there is a ferriic acid. Maybe not as popular as other acids, but it's actually familiar to use in a number of skincare products.

Reporting from Beautified, Friday, August 18, according to explanations by dermatologists, ferriic acid or hydroxycinamic acid is an antioxidant that can naturally be found on the walls of plant cells. Ferulic acid functions basically help other active and antioxidant materials in a skincare product. More precisely, ferriic acid helps stabilize other ingredients, such as vitamins C, E, and niacinamide, so that the results are more optimal.

Antioxidants in ferrilic acid skincare are high. Antioxidant itself functions to ward off free radicals (UV and pollution) that can damage skin cells and cause aging. Please note, ferriic acid is only in charge of protecting and stopping the damage process, not repairing damaged skin. So it's good for anti-aging and brightening dull skin.

Reporting from Byrdie, based on the explanations of dermatologists, ferriic acid has good benefits for aging problems and slack skin because of its function as an antioxidant. This is the benefit of the ferrulic acid skincare content that we may need right now:

All skin types, including sensitive skin and acne-prone skin, can enjoy the benefits of ferriic acid without side effects. This content will not cause skin to be irritated and sensitive. Even so, it is recommended to do a little test on the back of the ear to make sure the ferriic acid has no side effects, especially for sensitive, eczema, and rosacea skin.

If a ferrilic acid is used in the morning, the dermatologist recommends it to be used with sunscreen. It can be a type of mineral or chemical sunscreen, as long as the minimum SPF 30 is for optimal protection. And even though it can be used in the morning and evening, dermatologists recommend using it only once a day in the morning. This is because antioxidants work as a protector of free radicals that are faced during day activities.

It should be noted that it is better if the use of ferrilic acid is not accompanied by other acid products, such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid. Two acidic ingredients are essentially exfoliators and can change the skin's pH. If used in conjunction with a ferritic acid, it can reduce the effectiveness of antioxidants which incidentally are super-delicate content.

Nah, terkait dosis penggunaan ferulic acid, dermatologi InStyle menyarankan 0,5 persen hingga 1 persen. Saat mencari serum atau moisturizer dengan kandungan ferulic acid, lihat daftar komposisinya. Pastikan ferulic acid ada di serangkat atas. Juga, pilih botol dengan kaca yang tidak mudah terkentok cahaya dan udara karena ferulic acid mudah oxidasi.
