Featuring two of the most renowned, powerful antioxidants used in skin care, The Ordinary’s Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% is a highly concentrated method for defending against free radicals and defying signs of ageing. Produced by some plants to protect them against environmental stressors, the resveratrol in this formulation is 100% derived from Japanese knotweed, while ferulic acid comes from the cell walls of plants (such as oats and the seeds of apples) where it plays a key role in protection and self-preservation. This unique fluid features an exceptionally high (3%) concentration (and no water, silicones, oils or alcohol) to maximise the age-defying effects. The key benefit of these two potent ingredients is their ability to neutralise free radicals, therefore preventing the production of collagen and elastin from being inhibited (which will keep skin plumper and more youthful).
Why We Like It
At the forefront of affordable skin care, this formula combines ultra-high concentrations of two of the most powerful antioxidants in the industry: resveratrol and ferulic acid, both naturally derived from plants. Traditional formulations tend to incorporate resveratrol at 1% and ferulic acid at 0.5%, whereas The Ordinary’s features exceptionally high (3%) concentrations of each to maximise the protective, age-defying benefits.
Directions
Apply alone or after water-based serums, before oils or heavier creams.
Alternatively, mix with other treatments to enhance their antioxidant capacity significantly. This treatment is highly concentrated and can be diluted with most oils per application to reduce strength. A small amount of Resveratrol 3% and Ferulic Acid 3% and The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% or Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone can be diluted in most oils at each application to form an outstanding antioxidant network of Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid and Resveratrol in lipids. It is recommended to keep this mixture at low strength.
Do not refrigerate.
