FilorgaGlobal-Repair Intensive Anti Aging Face Serum, Skincare Treatment With Ceramides, Omegas, and Vitamins For Skin Firming, Wrinkle Reduction, and Complexion Evening, 1 fl. oz.

I love this product and I am very grateful for it! I have very sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and dryness and I have struggled to find a thick, hydrating night moisturizer that does not cause issues for me. I started out with the mini size, loved it... purchased a full size and have been using it for about 1-2 months and was SURE to purchase abackup during the sale. This product will last a while but I did not want to run the risk of running out. Now, for claims. Hydration. YES. I use a small layer of this overnight as a night moisturizer and wake up to hydrated but not greasy. I think some folks may be running into issues applying this like a MASK (big thick layer). You truly only need a thin layer to get beautiful hydration. Plump. I never really know what this is supposed to mean and I feel it goes hand in hand with hydration. Brightening. This isalways hard to evaluate however I do struggle withhyperpigmentation caused by hormonal breakouts and I find that that hyperpigmentation has been fading on a quicker timeline since I have begun using this so I will say that even though I think it is very hard to evaluate a claim like "brightens" I do feel like those dark spots are responding well to the vitamin C in this product. Clean. Everyone's skin is different and sensitive skin is a fickle beast. This has NOT caused issues for me with sensitivity, breakouts, allergic reactions. Sensitive skinned folks, the fact that this comes in a mini size is a beautiful thing.

This is WAY too heavy to be a serum. It is more like a heavy moisturizer. I need a lot of moisture on my aging skin and this serum was too much and caused a breakout. Serum should be made of smaller molecules to be easily absorbed into the skin. I felt like I was just shoveling a pound of lotion on my face, even with a small amount. To me, this is a highly overpriced moisturizer.

I bought 2 bottles and found the print on the bottles fell off easily. The fell-off mixed with the cream and left "silver dust" on my face. The first bottle I thought it was because I incidentally put detergent on the bottle, however same thing happen when I used the 2nd bottle, even the first time I used it! then the whole print on the bottle can be easily rub off with water...horrible quality supposed to happen in cheap product. I highly suspected this might be a counterfeit product.

This French brand founded by "aesthetic doctor" Michel Tordjman in 1978 claims to get results comparable to injectables with topical applications using "cellular medicine." If that all sounds like nonsense, it's because it most definitely is.This serum claims to "come together to tackle all the visible signs of skin aging" and provide "visible effectiveness after 7 days," which, to be fair, could be true if you went from no skin care at all, to this high-end serum, though that's unlikely to be the case.This serum has a thin, lotion-like consistency and a light herbal scent. It's more moisturizing than some serums, probably since it has many, many different plant and seed oils in it. While it claims to have its effects thanks to "ceramides, omegas and vitamins," with no more specific details than that.It seems to have some Vitamin C and Retinol for brightness and the ceramides for smoothing but, to be honest, its active ingredients aren't clear even with a massive, full ingredient list.There are some ingredients here to be wary of, including coconut oil, a potential allergen and pore-clogger—also a cheaper ingredient you wouldn't really expect to find in a pricey product, especially as high on the ingredient list as this is. There's a few other chemicals I wouldn't expect to see in a premium brand. It could also effect those with sensitive skin due simply to the vast myriad of ingredients and combinations (see below).If cost was based on sheer number of ingredients, this serum might live up to its price tag as I have rarely seen an ingredient list so lengthy, from the Filorga website: AQUA (WATER, EAU), PROPANEDIOL, ISOCETYL STEARATE, GLYCERIN, COCO-CAPRYLATE/CAPRATE, HYDROGENATED COCONUT OIL, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE, MALTODEXTRIN, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, MANNITOL, LECITHIN, LAURYL GLUCOSIDE, POLYGLYCERYL-6 LAURATE, LAUROYL LYSINE, XANTHAN GUM, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), SUCROSE DILAURATE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, MYRISTYL GLUCOSIDE, SCLEROTIUM GUM, SUCROSE PALMITATE, GLYCOGEN, PULLULAN, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, SODIUM COCOYL GLUTAMATE, ISOHEXADECANE, LYSOLECITHIN, ALCOHOL, POLYSORBATE 20, RETINOL, GLYCERYL LINOLEATE, PAEONIA ALBIFLORA ROOT EXTRACT, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS (SWEET ALMOND) OIL, PISUM SATIVUM (PEA) EXTRACT, SODIUM CHLORIDE, BORAGO OFFICINALIS SEED OIL, CAMELLIA OLEIFERA SEED OIL, HEXAMIDINE DIISETHIONATE, OENOTHERA BIENNIS (EVENING PRIMROSE) OIL, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL, SILICA, TRIHYDROXYSTEARIN, NIACINAMIDE, 3-O-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID, LACTOBACILLUS FERMENT, POTASSIUM AZELOYL DIGLYCINATE, POLYSORBATE 60, CERAMIDE NP, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, GLUCOSE, PHENOXYETHANOL, BISABOLOL, BHT, TOCOPHEROL, CITRIC ACID, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, BETA-SITOSTEROL, PHYTIC ACID, SQUALENE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, CALCIUM CHLORIDE, BHA, ACETYL TETRAPEPTIDE-11, MAGNESIUM SULFATE, GLUTAMINE, ACETYL TETRAPEPTIDE-9, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CI 15510 (ORANGE 4), ASCORBIC ACID, SODIUM ACETATE, LYSINE HCL, ARGININE HCL, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, ALANINE, HISTIDINE HCL, VALINE, LEUCINE, THREONINE, ISOLEUCINE, TRYPTOPHAN, PHENYLALANINE, TYROSINE, GLYCINE, POLYSORBATE 80, GLUCOMANNAN, SERINE, CYSTINE, CYANOCOBALAMIN, GLUTATHIONE, ASPARAGINE, ASPARTIC ACID, ORNITHINE HCL, GLUTAMIC ACID, NICOTINAMIDE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE, PROLINE, CI 17200 (RED 33), METHIONINE, TAURINE, HYDROXYPROLINE, GLUCOSAMINE HCL, COENZYME A, SODIUM GLUCURONATE, THIAMINE DIPHOSPHATE, RETINYL ACETATE, INOSITOL, NIACIN, PYRIDOXINE HCL, BIOTIN, CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE, RIBOFLAVIN, SODIUM TOCOPHERYL PHOSPHATE, THIAMINE HCL, FOLIC

This serum from Filorga, a French skincare company, has a consistency and opaque appearance more like that of a lotion than a typical serum. For that reason, I have to use more pumps per facial application than I would a normal serum, simply because it doesn't spread as thinly. If my skin isn't too dry, I could probably use this "serum" alone as a moisturizer, although I currently add my usual moisturizer. But the real question is does this work? My answer is a qualified "yes." When used as an underlying serum, it helps brighten skin and adds antioxidants to slow aging. It doesn’t do enough on its own, however, to warrant five stars.After applying this alone -- that is, without a moisturizer over top -- my face feels slightly tacky for a while until it fully absorbs an hour or two later. This does contain retinol, so take appropriate precautions, especially if you are using other retinol products or those with glycolic acid. The ingredient list is lengthy. If you are sensitive to or try to avoid specific ingredients, study the list as well as you can before buying.— Debbie Lee Wesselmann
