Technical Details & Test Data

Efficacy Testing: Ferulic Acid Augments Vitamin C+E Photoprotection

Exposure to UV light can cause thymine dimer formation in DNA which increases the risk of incorrect DNA repair and mutations, leading to cellular dysfunction.

Photoprotection ability (as assessed by reduction of thymine dimer formation) was measured on skin pretreated with vehicle, 0.5% Ferulic Acid (FA), 15% vitamin C + 1% vitamin E, or 15% vitamin C + 1% vitamin E + 0.5% FA and exposed to solar- simulated irradiation.

Percent Fluorescent Tissue at 8 x MED*
Indicates presence of thymer dimers
*Representation of results as described in Fu Hsuig Lin, et al. Fig. 4

Result: In addition to its own photoprotection ability, Ferulic Acid significantly enhances the photoprotection efficacy of vitamin C+E.
