Age Element Anti-Wrinkle Cream
Ferulic acid: the booster for your antioxidant system
Ferulic acid on its own is a solid antioxidant. Combined with vitamin C and vitamin E, it becomes a multiplier. Studies show: the antioxidant trio can increase protection against UV-induced free radicals by a factor of 8.
The mesoestetic AOX Ferulic uses exactly this combination. The mesoestetic Age Element creams (Anti-Wrinkle, Night, Firming) contain ferulic acid as part of a broader anti-ageing complex.
In our skincare studio in Cologne we use products containing ferulic acid especially with customers looking for strong antioxidant action. Dr. med. Niels Freitag recommends the mesoestetic AOX Ferulic as a morning protective serum, combined with a strong sun protection on top.

Frequently asked questions about ferulic acid
What does ferulic acid do in skincare?
Ferulic acid is a plant-based antioxidant from rice bran and wheat. Its main strength: it doubles the stability and effectiveness of vitamin C and vitamin E when all three are formulated together.
Do I need a separate ferulic acid product?
Not necessarily. Many vitamin C serums already contain ferulic acid. The mesoestetic AOX Ferulic offers the combination in a single product.
Use ferulic acid in the morning or evening?
In the morning, together with vitamin C. The antioxidant protection is most valuable during the day, when UV radiation and pollution generate free radicals.
Is ferulic acid suitable for sensitive skin?
Ferulic acid itself is very well tolerated. Irritation from antioxidant serums usually comes from the vitamin C, not from the ferulic acid.
Can I combine ferulic acid with retinol?
Yes. Ferulic acid in the morning (protection), retinol in the evening (renewal). Both work against skin ageing in different ways and complement each other well.
