Ferulic Acid Stabilizes a Solution of Vitamins C and E and Doubles its Photoprotection of Skin

J Invest Dermatol. 2005 Oct;125(4):826-32. Lin FH, Lin JY, Gupta RD, Tournas JA, Burch JA, Selim MA, Monteiro-Riviere NA, Grichnik JM, Zielinski J, Pinnell SR.

Inhibition of apoptosis was associated with reduced induction of caspase-3 and caspase-7. This antioxidant formulation efficiently reduced thymine dimer formation. This combination of pure […]
