This product is supposed to be an anti-aging lotion that addresses hydration and radiance. The texture is very interesting — I would describe it as a "fat” water, very fluid but with noticeable substance. It absorbs well and leaves the skin feeling hydrated, but not particularly soothed, or at least not on sensitive or reactive skin. The fragrance in it is quite noticeable and I wonder if that's the reason why.
Filorga claims this lotion is powered by NCEF — a branded complex said to encapsulate hyaluronic acid and 50 “pro-youth” ingredients, including vitamins, amino acids, minerals, coenzymes, and antioxidants. It’s a maximalist approach clearly meant to impress on paper. While the base is solid - hydrating agents like glycerin, butylene glycol, and sodium hyaluronate are present alongside emollients like sweet almond oil to support the barrier - further down, the formula reads like an INCI thesaurus — with amino acids, vitamins (B complex, C, E), coenzymes (NAD, Coenzyme A), peptides, and antioxidants like glutathione. These are all good ingredients on their own — but the sheer number of them, combined with their low positioning on the list, suggests they’re included in token amounts, unlikely to deliver real biological effects - and that is reflected on the skincare classifier score. It feels more like label padding than a precision formula.
Parfum, on the other hand, appears relatively high up — a red flag for those with sensitive or reactive skin, especially in a leave-on treatment. The inclusion of alcohol, even if not that dominant, is also questionable
This essence will likely boost hydration and layer nicely in a routine, but I personally saw no difference in radiance, and its long list of actives feels more like a marketing asset than a functional one. It sells a dream of high-tech rejuvenation, but what you actually get is a reasonable — yet fragrant — hydrating step.
