Throw off the extra years, improve complexion, remove bags under the eyes - who does not want to look better. Someone uses folk remedies, mass-market cosmetics, pharmacy products or professional cosmetic products for this. Now there are a lot of them, for any wallet. But how to choose? We offer to get acquainted with Filorga anti-aging cosmetics.
About Brand
Laboratoires Filorga is a true French brand founded in 1978 by Dr. Aesthetic Medicine Michel Thorjman. He developed a special technology for the delivery of useful substances to the dermis. NCTF - a revitalizing injection cocktail that fights against skin aging problems, has become the most popular among cosmetic clinics.
Over the 40-year history, the laboratory has developed high-tech drugs designed for use in medical, cosmetic centers, as well as at home. All home care products contain the same components as for beauty salons and medical practice: hyaluronic acid and the NCTF complex.
All drugs have proven themselves with world cosmetologists and are actively used by Russian specialists.
The brand’s products are classified as copper cosmetics, since the entire range is a combination of medicine and cosmetology. They are able to protect and restore the skin at 3 levels:
- deliver cell extracts enriched in nucleotides;
- at the tissue level will deliver elastin and collagen;
- on the organ - enriched with a complex of vitamins.
Advantages and disadvantages
Analyzing all the products of the brand as a whole, it is worth noting that, like any product, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. The obvious advantages of Filorga include:
- product quality, carefully controlled by the manufacturer;
- a variety of tools, forms of release, rulers;
- the ability to choose the method of application of funds: injection or non-injection;
- high efficiency;
- recognition by cosmetologists;
- beautiful design, product packaging;
- wide network of dealers.
The disadvantages include the following factors:
- the presence of a large number of contraindications for the injection method of administration;
- the possible occurrence of side effects after injection, which will not allow after the procedure to immediately plunge into the usual life;
- the inability to use simultaneously with other cosmetics, as warned by the instructions for use;
- fairly high price for cosmetics.
Best remedies
Under the brand name Filorga for home use, products for cleansing and skin care of the face, eye area, body in the form of creams, mousses, serums, masks, micellar solution, filler, balms, lotions are produced.
Some products in their name indicate that it is anti-aging - anti-age. But, in fact, all brand cosmetics are designed to combat anti-aging changes.
Especially popular are such tools, combined into sets, since in this case you should not fear the incompatibility of funds and look for a suitable one for proper care.
- The Optim-Eyes Kit includes 2 products. The tool for the contour of the eyes is 102 natural components and hyaluronic acid, which remove the pigment that forms dark circles under the eyes; drain lymph, eliminating edema; smooth wrinkles. Hydra-Filler Cream intensively restores the skin, moisturizing, strengthening, filling in wrinkles.
- Filorga lifting set - these are 3 intensive products, which together will make the skin supple and elastic, moisturize it and give a lifting effect. In a set: Disainer-Lift serum - Ultra-Lifting for instant and long-lasting face lifting; day cream for face “Lifting Design” - “Ultra-Lifting”; night means for the face "Slip & Lift" - "Ultra-Lifting".
- Purification Filorga Set - This is a mousse that removes makeup and a scrub mask. Regular use of the mousse makes the skin soft, ready for subsequent procedures. A scrub mask exfoliates dead cells and fills the dermis with oxygen, restores elastin, moisture level, smooths wrinkles.
But funds outside sets are equally popular. For example, a Filorga meso-mask facial mask is one of the best remedies according to customers. The tool performs the functions of cleansing, moisturizing and protection. It consists of 100% natural ingredients, and the application requires 1 time per week.
Moreover, users noticed the results after the first application: the skin becomes elastic, strong, and wrinkles are smoothed.
Another brand product that customers call the best among similar ones is face oil serum Filorga Oil-Absolute. This complex product simultaneously nourishes, moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin. It contains camellia, jojoba, apricot and burity oil. It is palm tree oil (buriti) that cosmetic companies often use as anti-aging agents. The manufacturer guarantees an effective effect in skin rejuvenation after 28 days, but in practice this period is much shorter.
Filorga sleep and peel resurfacing night cream is a night smoothing cream with active acids. This is a cocktail of 6 hydroacids (AHA and BHA), whose task is to exfoliate dead cells, eliminate wrinkles and age spots, and even out skin defects. A clear effect is achieved after 21 days, following the instructions for use. The skin becomes radiant, more even.
The list of the best remedies can be continued for a long time. But I would like to say that Filorga cosmetics are still not all satisfied. And a common reason is not skin features, but improper use of cosmetics.
Selection and application tips
According to experts - cosmetologists, most often, signs of skin aging appear at 25 years old.Since that time, it is worth thinking about purchasing anti-age cosmetics, when the skin no longer grabs its own hyaluronic acid, and the first wrinkles appear. It is worth purchasing protective equipment with SPF, they will protect against ultraviolet radiation. Choose a cream with vitamins A, E, C, as well as with hyaluronic acid (it is called a moisturizing agent) and a biostimulator (for example, aloe vera). For example, Filorga Skin-Absolute Day Ultimate Rejuvenating Day Cream is suitable for all skin types, it is used when the first wrinkles appear.
From the age of 30, it is time to introduce funds into the inner circle, which should include both SPF and antioxidants. And also peptides and nucleotides for the restoration of collagen and elastin.
If this is not done, then the skin will become rough, rough. Buy peels and cleansers, they will help get rid of dead skin and saturate the dermis with oxygen.
Our manufacturer offers Filorga NCEF-Reverse Creme for the face perfect repairing. The principle of action is set by the following program: to correct wrinkles - to increase the elasticity of the dermis - to restore radiance of the skin. A high concentration of NCEF is comparable to a single mesotherapy procedure. It contains vitamins A, H, E, as well as hyaluronic acid, alginic acid, collagen, silicon, shea butter and other useful components for intensive restoration, nutrition, moisturizing and softening of the skin.
As an additional anti-aging skin care Filorga offers micellar solution. Micelles will remove makeup and cleanse the skin without irritation. Trehalose moisturizes the skin. The rhamnose polysaccharide will restore the dermis and prevent its aging.
From the age of 40-45, the dermis begins to thin out, collagen with elastin break up into fragments, and the frame of the face changes. As a result, the omission of the oval of the face leads to the appearance of "hamster cheeks", deep wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots appear. It's time to add to the care products lifting drugs. They are conditionally divided into:
- cosmetics with collagen, elastin, silicone;
- more powerful fillers;
- powerful tools not only for superficial, but also deep layers of the skin, with nucleotides, amino acids, DMAE complex (we are talking about salon and clinical procedures of mesotherapy and biorevitalization).
It is these preparations that Filorga is particularly famous for, both for home and salon use. This means a more expensive segment.
But they will remain inside the skin and after removing and cleansing the skin, they will stimulate recovery processes and achieve cell rejuvenation. From home remedies, this is, for example, the Best Sellers kit, which includes a Time-Filler face care + Time-Filler eye cream.
Lifting preparations for biorevitalization begin to act in a few hours, the result is noticeable the next day, but it is fixed within a few weeks. After 3-4 sessions, the effect persists for 4-8 months, depending on the condition of the skin. Those who can not tolerate the pain of injections can carry out cosmetic procedures with the means in the form of serums with hyaluronic acid, which will be carried out by a cosmetologist. The effect, unfortunately, from them is much smaller.
Without going into professional details, we call preparations for salon use, which offers the manufacturer in question.
- Filorga NCTF 135 - a medical product whose task is to tighten the skin of the face, improve color and smooth out deep wrinkles.
- Filorga NCTF 135+ Designed for skin up to 30 years. He fights not with age-related changes, but with skin defects (scars, boils, acne, dry skin, hair loss - injections are made in the head).
- Filorga NCTF 135 HA (enriched) is actively used for skin on which the first wrinkles, bumps, fatigue, age spots, vascular network, dryness, scars, swelling, dark circles under the eyes appear (30-35 years).
- Filorga NCTF 135 HA + (extra-enriched) - the most powerful drug for customers after 35-40 years.As a result of application, the oval of the face is restored by eliminating sagging cheeks and fat deposits; the nasolabial folds and the skin around the eyes are aligned, dryness disappears.
If you have decided on the choice of drugs, then it's worth talking about how to use them. Before buying, using the sites of manufacturers and dealers, read the instructions for use. Filorga for each of its remedies offers detailed instructions for use. Then determine the type of your skin using a beautician or do-it-yourself tests.
Another piece of professional advice is to follow the steps of skin care. There are 3 of them: cleansing (milk, makeup remover), toning (tonic), moisturizing or nutrition (creams, serums).
Unfortunately, many skip the second stage. As a result, the skin that has received stress after cleansing is not ready to eat. It starts to seem that the cream or serum does not work.
Such means as masks, scrubs (peels) and many others are not used every day. They are used after cleansing, before toning. This is what our manufacturer pays attention to in their instructions.
Review Reviews
Anti-aging cosmetics are not uncommon. But it was Filorga that was loved not only by buyers for home use, but also by cosmetologists. They characterize it as quality products. Moreover, drug prices do not bite compared to other brands.
As for creams, masks and other products for the home, the vast majority of buyers rate Filorga very well. There are those who are disappointed in the purchase, not having the desired result. Apparently, they could not pick up cosmetics for their skin. In general, consumers like the composition, action, design, but often the price of the product is scary.
Beauticians warn that even the best anti-aging procedure will not return us to youth. Therefore, it is worth using cosmetics for your age regularly and loving yourself.
