Filorga is a brand I have tried precious few products from, but what I have used, I have loved. Founded by Michael Tordjman in 1978, a leading doctor in skin aesthetics, Filorga skincare is formulated with innovative ingredients, unique technologies and scientific research.
Oxygen Peel is the newest product to come into my possession and it has quite the description:
Say goodbye to a dull complexion, Oxygen Peel is described as being a 3-in-1 product which is the first micro-peeling, oxygen-replenishing lotion. The innovative triple action formula resurfaces, plumps and re-oxygenates the skin.
Oxygen Peel is a daily treatment which should be applied to the skin in an evening after cleansing. Designed to combat the effects of environmental stressors and fatigue, the anti-ageing face lotion uses ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid which restores moisture and plumps the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Then there is what are referred to as Bio-Active Oxygen Sensors which stimulate the production of oxygen in cells, this in turn refines pores and smooths the skin surface.
Living in London there is no denying that the daily hustle and bustle of busy streets, pollution and smog do absolutely nothing for my skin. If you are a regular tube dweller then you will know all too well what happens when you blow your nose! Keen to ensure my skin does not have anything lurking on it for longer than possible, I've been trying a range of new products and this is one of them. Oxygen Peel has what is called 'three actions' which are:
- Action One: Resurfacing with gentle exfoliation. Using a cocktail of ingredients which Filorga refer to as 'the stars of aesthetic peels' you will find AHAs, including anti-wrinkle Glycolic Acid, radiance boosting Phytic Acid, pore refining Citric Acid, perfecting Salicylic Acid and complexion unifier Mandelic Acid.
- Action Two: Hydration and Plumping. Using pure low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid which moisturises and plumps the skin whilst the signature FILORGA polyrevitalising complex NCTF® boosts cell regeneration to erase visible signs of ageing.
- Action Three: Express reoxygenation and revitalisation. This lotion contains what Filorga call 'an Oxygen-Captor complex' and whilst it is quite scientific it is comprised of bioactive oxygen sensors which work to improve the diffusion and regulate the level of oxygen among the cells. This regulates the hypoxic stress phenomenon (which is caused by low levels of oxygen in our cells) and stimulates cytoglobin; the protein which delivers oxygen to the cells. What this does is give your skin a new lease of life and gives you a complexion which looks fresher and brighter.
What I like about this product is that despite some of the complex language used to describe what it does, it does do exactly what it says it will. So removing the science to make it easier to understand you will find that alongside the Hyularonic Acid and the Bio-Active Oxygen Sensors which stimulate the production of oxygen in cells, you will find that this product has got a mix of 6 micro peeling agents (gylcolic acid, phytric acid, citric acid, saliclic acid, mandelic acid and gluconolactone) which together work on reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out your complexion, improved radiance, reduce spots and gently resurface the skin.
Ideal to be applied all over the face and neck using a cotton wool pad (avoid eye contour area), it is gentle on the skin, it doesn't irritate or sting and it doesn't have an unpleasant smell. To be used of an evening only, it is ideal for use after removing your makeup and before you apply serums and any other skincare, you simply swipe around your face and don't have to rinse it off. After using, my skin feels silky soft and smooth to the touch, but the real magic comes the following morning when my skin not only looks incredible but feels it too.
