Description
Senecio FA Ferulic Acid Serum 15 ml — Water-Free Antioxidant Concentrate
Overview
A ten-ingredient, water-free Japanese concentrate built around ferulic acid. There is no water, no oil, no fragrance: just a glycol and polyol base carrying the ferulic acid and D-panthenol. Two or three drops cover the face, so a 15 ml bottle lasts a long time.
Ferulic acid is used in cosmetics as an antioxidant, and it is best known for pairing with vitamin C — the two are commonly formulated together because ferulic acid helps keep vitamin C stable in the bottle. If you already use a vitamin C serum, this is a sensible companion. What it is not: a sunscreen. Antioxidants work on a different problem from UV filters, and nothing in this bottle replaces SPF. Ships from Kobe, Japan.

Who Is This For?
- You already use a vitamin C serum and want a formulation partner for it
- Your concern is dullness and uneven-looking tone rather than dryness
- You prefer short, fragrance-free ingredient lists
- You want an antioxidant step in the morning routine underneath sunscreen
- Introduce slowly if your skin is sensitive — a concentrated glycol base can tingle at first
How to Use
- Cleanse and let the skin dry — this formula is applied to dry, not damp, skin.
- Start with 1 drop for the first week to see how your skin responds.
- Build up to 2–3 drops spread over the face, avoiding the eye area.
- Wait until it is absorbed, then continue with your usual moisturizer.
- In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.
Frequency: Once or twice daily; morning use pairs well with sunscreen
Full Ingredients
Full declared ingredients (10): Polyethylene Glycol 400, Sorbitol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Xylitol, Glycerin, DPG, BG, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ferulic Acid, D-Panthenol.
There is no water in this formula — the base is a blend of glycols and polyols. That matters practically: anhydrous formulas keep antioxidants stable for longer without needing a heavy preservative system. There is no fragrance, no colourant and no oil. Ferulic acid is naturally occurring in plants such as rice bran and is used in cosmetics as an antioxidant.
Cautions
- This is not a sunscreen and does not replace SPF — always use a separate sunscreen during the day
- A mild tingling or warming sensation can occur at first; this is a reason to use less, not a sign it is working
- Stop using it if the tingling becomes stinging or burning, or if redness persists
- Patch test on the inner forearm before first use, particularly on sensitive skin
- Avoid the eye area and do not apply to broken or freshly treated skin
- Store away from direct sunlight and heat; keep out of reach of children

FAQ
Does this protect me from the sun?
No, and this is the most important thing on the page. Antioxidants and UV filters do different jobs. A ferulic acid serum does not block ultraviolet light and does not replace sunscreen in any way — please continue to use SPF daily.
Why pair ferulic acid with vitamin C?
The main reason formulators combine them is stability: ferulic acid helps vitamin C stay intact in the formula rather than oxidising. If you use a separate vitamin C serum, applying this alongside it is a sensible routine choice.
It tingles when I apply it — is that normal?
A mild tingle is common at first with a concentrated, water-free glycol base. Treat it as a cue to use fewer drops or apply less often. Sharp stinging, burning or lasting redness means you should stop.
Is it halal-suitable?
The ten declared ingredients are synthetic or plant-derived rather than animal-derived, and the formula contains no ethanol. However, the product carries no halal certification, so we can describe the list but cannot certify it.
How long does delivery take and are duties included?
We dispatch from Kobe within 2–6 business days with tracking. Import duties and taxes depend on your country and are not included in the price.
