Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%

Product Overview

Shield your skin against the invisible toll of environmental stress with The Ordinary Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3%. This high-potency serum combines exceptionally high concentrations of two of the most powerful and important antioxidants in skincare. While many formulas include these ingredients at low levels, this 3% concentration provides maximum clinical support to defend against oxidative stress, dullness, and the visible signs of aging. Because water can destabilize these delicate molecules, this serum is entirely water-free (anhydrous), ensuring that every drop remains stable and effective for a brighter, smoother, and more resilient complexion.

Key Benefits

• Anti-Aging Support: Helps protect the skin's structural integrity to prevent future signs of aging.
• Antioxidant Booster: Can be mixed with other treatments (like Vitamin C) to significantly enhance their protective power.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• 3% Resveratrol: A natural phenol found in several plants, primarily Japanese Knotweed. It is a powerful antioxidant that supports the skin's natural defense system to help neutralize environmental damage and soothe the skin.
• 3% Ferulic Acid: A high-potency phytochemical antioxidant found in the cell walls of plants. It is renowned for its ability to stabilize and double the photoprotective efficacy of other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

How to Use

1. Timing: Apply in the morning (AM) and/or evening (PM) as part of your skincare routine.
2. Application: Apply a small amount alone or mix with other treatments to enhance antioxidant capacity.
3. Sequence: Apply after water-based serums but before oils or heavier creams.

FAQ

Q: Why does it feel like an oil if it's oil-free?
A: The texture comes from the propanediol base, which is a plant-based solvent. It allows the high concentrations of Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid to remain stable without water. It feels slightly oily but absorbs well into the skin.

Q: Why shouldn't I refrigerate this product?
A: Unlike retinoids, this formula should be kept at room temperature. Refrigeration can cause the high-concentration antioxidants to crystallize or fall out of the solution.

Q: Can I use this with Copper Peptides?
A: We recommend avoiding the use of strong antioxidants like Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid in the same routine as Copper Peptides (like "Buffet" + Copper Peptides 1%) to ensure both formulas remain effective.

Q: Does it have a scent?
A: It is fragrance-free, but Ferulic Acid has a naturally occurring earthy or slightly smoky scent that is normal and safe.

Q: Can I use it on oily skin?
A: Yes. Although it feels "oil-like," it is non-comedogenic and provides essential protection for oily skin types without clogging pores.
