Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ferulic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Ferulic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Ferulic Acid or Hyaluronic Acid?
Apply Ferulic Acid first, then Hyaluronic Acid. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Ferulic Acid in the morning or at night?
Ferulic Acid: best in the morning. Use in the morning under sunscreen, ideally in a combined C + E + Ferulic serum.
Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?
Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
