Patients were further divided into once\u2010daily and twice\u2010daily application subgroups. During the 14\u2010day follow\u2010up, the wound healing (measured by scabbing stage on Day 7), erythema index (EI), melanin index (MI), skin hydration, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were evaluated. Direct assessment of scar improvement was not within the scope of this study.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Sixty\u2010four patients were included in the analysis. On Day 7, the intervention side showed a higher complete scab detachment rate than the control side (60.9% vs. 34.4%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.0026). EI and MI reduced significantly greater on the intervention side compared to the control side (Days 3, 7, and 14;\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.0001). On Day 14, the intervention side also demonstrated significantly better capability of maintaining skin hydration (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.0367) and preventing TEWL (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.0246) than the control side.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This study found that CE Ferulic led to enhanced wound healing, reduced erythema and melanin levels, and improved skin hydration following laser treatment, suggesting its beneficial application in combination with laser treatment to accelerate skin recovery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n ChiCTR2300078214<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.70634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T07:35:49Z","timestamp":1768203349000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reparative Effects of a Topical Antioxidant Serum Containing Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Ferulic Acid After Ablative Fractional\n CO<\/scp>\n 2<\/sub>\n Laser Treatment for Atrophic Acne Scars: A Randomized, Investigator\u2010Blinded, Split\u2010Face, Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4122-5228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Cosmetology, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, School of Medicine Tongji University Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sijia","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Cosmetology, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, School of Medicine Tongji University Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Cosmetology, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, School of Medicine Tongji University Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2010\/893080"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s\u20100037\u20101606096"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000299380.83221.a8"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s41038\u2010018\u20100129\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lsm.20512"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5978\/islsm.16\u2010OR\u201013"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","first-page":"68","article-title":"Treatment of Photoaged Skin Using Fractional Nonablative Laser in Combination With Topical Antioxidants","volume":"44","author":"Elford E.
