Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ferulic Acid and Urea together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Ferulic Acid and Urea, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Ferulic Acid or Urea?
Apply Ferulic Acid first, then Urea. 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 Urea in the morning or at night?
Urea: works morning or night. Use 5–10% on the face or body daily. Higher strengths can sting on broken or freshly exfoliated skin.
