This Under-The-Radar Ingredient Is The Key To Brighter, Healthier Skin

 The environment has a lot to answer for when it comes to our skin. Thanks to elements such as pollution and UV rays, you might notice dullness, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and other bugbears over time, but antioxidants can help combat all of that. Working to shield skin from environmental factors, vitamin C is an antioxidant, as is ultra moisturising vitamin E. There's another buzzy antioxidant ingredient worth knowing about, too. Enter: ferulic acid.Of course, ferulic acid is nothing new and thanks to brands like SkinCeuticals and The Ordinary, it's probably already on your radar.

So how exactly should you use ferulic acid in your routine and is it right for you? Here's everything you need to know about the little ingredient doing big things in skincare.
