Intensive Anti-Ageing Cellular Skincare

Have you discovered the French skincare range Filorga?  I have been using their products for the past few years and found them to be consistently efficient.  Laboratories Filorga created NCTF, New Cellular Treatment Factor, an polyrevitalisation cocktail for injectable aesthetic treatments. This solution is highly effective at targeting the signs of ageing, so much so, that since its launch, over 10 million bottles have been sold worldwide. 

This unique solution contains over 50 anti-ageing active ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, co-enzymes and antioxidants.  These ingredients can reactivate skin cells and restore skin to a healthy condition, making it appear younger. 

NCTF is at the heart of Filorga, it’s DNA, and is used throughout its skincare range.  But recently they have upped their game and developed a way of getting a high concentration of NCTF deep within the skin without injections.  In fact, the NCTF-Reverse range has 10 times the concentration of NCTF than any other Filorga product, that’s equivalent of one vial of injectable NCTF.

You may be wondering why Filorga didn’t use this concentration sooner.  It’s taken 3 years for them to create a formulation where the cocktail of ingredients is stable enough at high dose to be incorporated into skincare. This is a skincare breakthrough!

Filorga NCTF-Reverse

Following my LuminoVitaGlow treatment with Dr Philippe Hamida-Pisal, I started using two products from the NCTF-Reverse range, the NCTF-Essence and NCTF-Reverse – Moisturiser.

Korean skincare has been a huge influence in recent years and one of the best products to emerge in Western skincare has been the essence.  Lighter than a serum, this quickly absorbed fluid is best used straight after cleansing.  It’s your first stage for getting moisture into the skin.  I like to add a few drops to the palm of my hand, press hands together and pat into slightly damp skin.  You can use a cotton pad if you prefer, but I want all that lovely essence to go into my skin.  NCTF-Essence has a light fragrance and is packed with moisturising ingredients such as sage extract and sweet almond oil.  It’s an absolute pleasure to use.

NCTF-Reverse is a lightweight moisturiser which I used day and night.  It’s pale pink, the same as the Essence, this is because NCTF is naturally pink. It has the same fragrance that runs through the Filorga range and sinks easily into the skin.  By using both products I doubled up on the amount of NCTF, but as the formulations differ I was also getting the maximum amount of active ingredients.  Had I have used the NCTF-Intensive Serum (which wasn’t released in the UK at the time of testing but is available now) I could have tripled the effect.

Filorga NCTF-Reverse on trial

During the trial my skin looked clear, bright and well hydrated.  I noticed the lines on my forehead looked smoother and my skin remained firmer after the Luminovitaglow treatment.  Although I have gone on to trial other products since, I am still using the Essence and will purchase this in the future.  After three month’s I’ve only used a small amount as a couple of drops covers face, neck and décolletage. This is definitely skincare to consider if you are looking for a range that will address all signs of ageing at once.

If you prefer a matt effect from your moisturiser, there is NCTF-Reverse Mat.

Why trust Filorga

Every Filorga product undergoes clinical trials, you might expect all skin care products to be tested, but they aren’t, mainly because the trials are expensive to carry out.  Filorga do not release products until they can prove their effectiveness which I find reassuring.  Although the NCTF-Reverse range is more expensive than other Filorga products, they do represent good value for money when you consider the ingredients and their effectiveness.
