Findings
When ferulic acid was added to vitamins C and E, it doubled the skin's sun protection—jumping from 4-fold to 8-fold protection against UV damage. The combo also reduced sun damage at the cellular level (less DNA damage and cell death), suggesting real benefits against photoaging and skin cancer risk.
