Aesthetic procedures may have gone mainstream. Injectables such as botulinum toxin type A and dermal fillers are no longer whispered about. Yet, for most people, topical skincare remains the more conservative, familiar, and accessible route.

This raises the question: Can a bottle of serum or a jar of cream compete with the needle?

Ready to prove that clinic-level results are possible without undergoing any procedures is French skincare brand Filorga. The company was founded in 1978 by Dr. Michel Tordjmann, who initially developed injectable solutions used by aesthetic professionals across Europe. A few years later, it expanded into skincare, formulating products that harness the same science behind those injectables.

At the launch hosted by its official Philippine distributor, Rustan Marketing Corporation, the Balmori Suites function room at Power Plant Mall in Makati City was filled with beauty enthusiasts and dermatologists eager to know more about the brand.

Filorga Global Travel Retail Director & APAC director Pauline Nat gave a brief introduction to the brand, highlighting how each product is inspired by a specific clinical treatment. Formulated for daily and non-invasive use, these skincare solutions are designed to deliver results similar to aesthetic procedures—without the use of needles.

Every effective skincare routine starts with a clean base. The Skin-Prep range includes micellar water, cleansing oil, and an enzymatic foam that gently removes impurities, makeup, and excess oil. Designed to mimic the first step of professional facials, these cleansers not only purify the skin but also prep it to absorb active ingredients more effectively.

Once the skin is clean, hydration is key. Filorga’s Hydra-Hyal line addresses dryness with an advanced formula that combines five types of hyaluronic acid—each with different molecular weights and delivery systems. This multi-layered approach helps hydrate the skin, leaving it plumper and smoother.

For overall skin regeneration and glow, the NCEF-Revitalize range is a standout. With the NCEF complex, which includes 10 potent active ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid, the formulas are designed to rejuvenate the skin by improving elasticity, tone, and radiance with consistent use.

If your skin is looking dull or tired, Oxygen-Glow steps in with its combination of oxygen boosters, hyaluronic acid, and smoothing enzymes. This line helps detoxify and brighten the skin. If wrinkles are the concern, the Time-Filler range targets fine lines and expression marks to deeper creases and even neck lines.

To firm up sagging areas and redefine contours, Lift-Structure is infused with collagen-stimulating ingredients and peptides. This line helps to restore structure and density for a more sculpted appearance over time. For more mature skin with multiple signs of aging, the Global-Repair Advanced collection combines niacinamide, omega-rich oils, and botanical extracts that help to revitalize and strengthen the skin barrier.

No skincare routine is complete without addressing the eyes. Optim-Eyes offers a three-in-one formula that reduces puffiness, lightens dark circles, and smooths out fine lines. With hydrating actives and decongesting peptides, this eye cream helps brighten and refresh tired-looking eyes.

And for an extra boost, 15 minutes is all one needs with Meso-Mask. This creamy mask is packed with collagen, elastin, rhamnose polysaccharide, and urea to plump, calm, and hydrate. It’s a quick reset for radiant and well-rested skin.

With nearly five decades of aesthetic expertise, Filorga skincare delivers high-performance results through advanced formulas inspired by clinical treatments. Available at all Rustan’s Department Stores, the brand brings professional-grade innovation to your everyday skincare routine.
