According to Angela Lamb, an assistant professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, ferulic acid is an excellent anti-aging skincare ingredient as long as you don’t have sensitive skin or are allergic to it.
You may want to check with your dermatologist before using ferulic acid for acne or other chronic skin concerns, especially if you have sensitive skin.
An allergy to FA is possible since it can be sourced from various plants. For example, it can be obtained from bran so if you have a grain allergy, you should be cautious when using FA products.
Discontinue use of FA topically if any unwanted side effects occur. Possible ferulic acid side effects may include redness, peeling, itchiness, rash or hives. *
