FeruliC + HA is the antioxidant face serum that combines stabilized vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E, designed to even out the complexion and help counter the appearance of dark spots.
Dark spots are among the most common skin care concerns. They are mainly caused by excessive production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, and can appear for various reasons:
- Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate melanocytes to produce more melanin.
- Hormonal changes: pregnancy, oral contraceptives or menopause affect pigmentation.
- Inflammation or injuries: cuts, burns, acne and other types of inflammation can leave pigmented marks.
How to prevent dark spots
Dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, appear at different stages of life in relation to hormonal changes, aging or habits that promote their formation. The complete overview is available in the article on facial skin discoloration.
Melasma is one of the most common forms: dark spots on the face linked to hormonal factors and sun exposure, particularly affecting pregnant women and requiring a specific approach.
Age spots, or lentigines, appear on the hands, face and arms as a result of cumulative sun exposure. They are among the most preventable types of spots, as long as you are consistent with sun protection.
The use of harsh products that irritate the skin can also promote the appearance of dark spots: inflammation is one of the triggers of pigmentation.
In more pronounced cases, professional treatments such as chemical peels, laser therapy, cryotherapy or intense pulsed light are available: these are medical procedures that should be assessed with a dermatologist. A cosmetic product can prevent and reduce the appearance of discoloration, but cannot eliminate it.
Daily sun protection
It is the most important preventive measure of all. The sun worsens every type of hyperpigmentation, including melasma and lentigines. Use protection suitable for your skin phototype even in winter and on cloudy days.
Spot Defence 50 SPF has a lightweight, non-greasy texture and is enriched with a complex of organic maritime pine, mallow, marshmallow and calendula, with soothing and antioxidant properties that also help counteract damage caused by pollution.

A diet rich in antioxidants
Antioxidants also work from within, counteracting oxidative stress caused by UV rays and pollution. Fruit and vegetables rich in vitamins A, C and E provide genuine support, potentially alongside targeted supplements if recommended by a doctor.
Anti-dark-spot skin care with FeruliC + HA
Sun protection remains the foundation, but the routine is built in layers: gentle cleansing that does not irritate the skin, regular exfoliation with AHAs or BHAs to promote cell renewal, and finally an antioxidant serum.
If you are still choosing which serum to use, the criteria for finding the right one based on the type of dark spot are included in the guide on how to choose a serum for dark spots.
FeruliC + HA contains a stabilized vitamin C derivative which, unlike pure ascorbic acid, is not prone to rapid oxidation. This allows it to:
- support collagen synthesis, since vitamin C is an essential cofactor in the hydroxylation phase;
- counteract glycation, reducing damage to collagen and elastin;
- protect against oxidative stress caused by UV rays, pollution and blue light;
- work synergistically with hyaluronic acid, keeping the skin soft and supple.
The formula contains two types of hyaluronic acid: sodium hyaluronate and the hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid from the Hyacare 50 patent, both easily absorbed and able to maintain hydration while limiting transepidermal water loss.
Arginine is an amino acid that helps maintain skin tone, while vitamin E, in the form of tocopheryl acetate, further neutralizes free radicals.
Finally, ferulic acid, which has a dual role:
- it neutralizes free radicals and protects against environmental damage;
- it stabilizes vitamins C and E, enhancing their effectiveness — according to research conducted at Duke University, it doubles their photoprotective effect;
- it helps even out the complexion by acting on the mechanisms involved in melanin production.

This serum is non-sticky and can also be used on its own, followed by sun protection. LeLang's exclusive woody note neutralizes the typical metallic smell of ferulic acid.
