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
