Filorga Hydra-AOX [5] Antioxidant Vitamin C Face Serum, 5 Powerful Antioxidants Including Vitamin C, E, and B3 Smooth and Protect Skin from Premature Aging and Oxidative Stress, 1.01 fl. oz

Me encanta como deja mi piel

I love this vitamin c serum. The consistency is nice, not too watery, not too thick. I have been using for about a month and have noticed a difference with my skin tone.

Filorga Hydra-AOX 5 Antioxidant Face Serum agrees really well with my dry, sensitive skin. My skin seemed overly sensitive before using this serum, but my skin feels calm and comfortable again. I’ve been using this serum nightly, and my skin is noticeably more hydrated and my skin texture has improved and feels nice and soft. My skin seems a bit brighter, but I can’t fully gauge that benefit due to length of use (only about a week), and I was using serums with antioxidants such as vitamin C and niacinamide before starting this one.This serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave my skin sticky. It has parfum and a scent I find a bit unusual, but I don’t find it unpleasant and it fades quickly. I do prefer fragrance free formulas as fragrance adds any number of undisclosed chemicals and is a common irritant, though I don’t find this irritating. This has beneficial antioxidants such as Vitamin C, which is my favorite daily staple as it provides so many benefits when used regularly over time, can be used safely during the day and so on.I’d prefer this serum lacked retinyl acetate as it limits my use to evening given that I don’t use any form of retinol during the day based on the advice of my dermatologist and articles about the risks of retinol and sun exposure. Also, per Paula’s Choice, “no published studies have looked at what results retinyl acetate on its own can provide” while the combined effect with retinol and retinyl palmitate has been studied. I normally wear sunscreen daily, but I’m extra diligent about applying sunscreen during the day while using this serum or any retinol productIt’s too soon for me to gauge any long term benefits, such as fading of dark spots, effects on wrinkles beyond temporary plumping and so on, but my skin is calm and looks and feels great since I’ve been using this serum at night. While I’d prefer this serum lacked the retinyl acetate and fragrance, I’m really pleased with this serum so far and will continue to use it at night. I’ll update as to longer term use as appropriate/possible Love it. 5 stars.. Made in France.

This serum has every ingredient that you can ask for: Per product's description, Hydra-AOX [5] serum shields skin from external damage with a powerful antioxidant formula that leaves skin smooth, hydrated, and healthy with Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, Ergothioneine, and Vitamin E in a blend that fights UV damage and hyperpigmentation. It even has retinyl acetate. It helps you to skip 4 regimen skincare providing you only 1 product and will save you lots of money.Does it work? I can tell that it is not sticky, absorbs well and doesn't leave any residue after absorption. I've been using it only at night due to retinyl acetate because I don't have the time to reapply my sunscreen every 4 hours during the daytime and I don't want to risk my skin being too sensitive to sun exposure. I haven't seen a big improvement on my skin but my skin feels more alive and less redness around my cheeks due to rosacea. For me, it is a plus.The only thing I don't appreciate is the scent. I usually don't buy any skincare product that comes with fragrance, but I wanted to give this one a try because of the wide variety of ingredients which helped me to skip a 4 step skincare.1 less start is due to fragrance, but it is worth a try.

For background context, I'm not a beauty product maven by any means; I typically wash, moisturize, and that's it. As I get older though I've been having fun trying out different products and seeing what they're like. Everything about this serum feels luxurious! It's made in France, and comes in an elegant looking slim white bottle with a silver plunger on top. This is for drawing up the serum and then dispensing it. It's orange but doesn't leave any tinting when rubbed in. It has a light scent I can't quite put my finger on but it's not unpleasant; I typically hate scents in beauty products but this is not floral at all, maybe closer to citrus? It's not meant to be a stand alone product but put on before your usual moisturizer (I assume that's what the directions mean when they say cream anyway!) My face does feel extra soft and nice after using!

PROS:Unique pipette for easy dispensingEasy to applyAbsorbs quickly and well into skinNo greasy residueSkin texture/appearance improved with useNo irritation upon applicationContains antioxidants to protect skin from damageCONS:A little runny, so I had to be careful I wasn't wasting spilling/wasting productHigher priced productThis serum is naturally orange in color and comes in a unique pump style pipette for easy dispensing.It's a very nice serum to add your skincare routine if you can afford it!Just don't forget to wear sunscreen daily!

I don't use this daily, instead it lives in my travel toiletries bag but is getting used with some regularity. I like the shape of the bottle which is perfect for a travel bag. It feels good on my skin and isn't sticky. It absorbs fairly quick and lets me move on to my next thing (moisturizer) after a few minutes.

Tienes que tener en cuenta que al tener muchos ácidos y otros ingredientes irritantes, debes tener cuidado de no usarlo de día pero si lo usas de día debes obligatoriamente usas protector solar cada 2 horas.
