Introducing Filorga, the French skincare line that tackles aging with science, not hype
Who is that in the mirror?!? In my mind’s eye, I’m 28 and thriving—but every now and then, my reflection clearly doesn’t get the memo. Wrinkles, we need to talk!
I’ve never been the type to obsess over skincare. I’m not especially vain, and I tend to keep my routine streamlined. But I am a sucker for skincare that delivers. And after attending the recent Laboratoires Filorga media preview, I realized: this is something different. My skin—and honestly, my soul—did a little happy dance.
This isn’t your average vanity-shelf filler. Filorga is a science-backed, French-born pioneer that brings aesthetic medicine-level skincare straight to your bathroom or dressing table. Think: real results without the needles—but also, formulations that work with your clinical treatments, if you’re into that. Whether you’re pre-Botox or post-facial, Filorga plays well with both.
The science (and story) behind the glow
Filorga isn’t new. In fact, it’s been a quiet powerhouse in Europe for decades. Founded in 1978 by French aesthetic doctor Dr. Michel Tordjman, the brand began by formulating injectable solutions used by medical professionals. That clinical expertise now fuels an award-winning skincare range built for everyday routines—with the same medical-grade rigor, minus the scalpel.
At the heart of it all is the groundbreaking formula NCEF®, or New Cellular Encapsulated Factors—a mouthful, yes, but one that deserves the spotlight. It’s a proprietary complex packed with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, coenzymes, and antioxidants. All the good stuff your skin needs to regenerate, wrapped in lipid-loving capsules that actually penetrate the skin barrier and go deep. It’s like giving your skin cells a motivational speech—with receipts.
It’s not so much your age—it’s your skin’s condition
One of my favorite moments from the preview came from topnotch dermatologist (who also boasts a subspecialty in Procedural and Aesthetic Dermatology) Dr. Gaile Robredo-Vitas, who reminded us that “It’s not so much about your age, but about the condition your skin is in.”
She also shared a gem I’ve been replaying in my head ever since: “Good skin is built, not bought.”
That’s Filorga’s core philosophy: intelligent skincare that supports what your skin is already trying to do. And it does so with formulations inspired by aesthetic procedures—everything from fillers and revitalizing injections to thread lifts and radiofrequency treatments. Whether you’re aging smart or starting early, this is skincare that meets you where you are.
Filorga favorites to add to your must-try list (and beauty routine)
Here’s a cheat sheet to some of Filorga’s standout lines—now available exclusively at Rustan’s (and yes, online too):

Their hero range. With 10 active ingredients typically found in actual revitalizing injections, the serum, cream, and sheet mask offer deep renewal, tone refinement, and a firmer glow. - HYDRA-HYAL
Uses 5 types of hyaluronic acid—high, medium, low molecular weight, encapsulated, and cross-linked—for layered hydration that lasts. - TIME-FILLER
Inspired by in-clinic wrinkle-reducing techniques, this product line smooths out expression lines, deep folds, and even neck wrinkles. - GLOBAL-REPAIR ADVANCED
The most intensive anti-aging line, designed for mature skin. Packed with niacinamide, peony extract, omega oils, and a patented lipid complex. - LIFT-STRUCTURE

Chic, clinical, and finally here
One of the biggest reveals at the media preview: Filorga is now available outside clinical settings—for the first time ever, and right here. This is the first time anywhere in the world that Filorga is being sold retail, direct to consumers. And of course, it’s happening at Rustan’s. Because where else?
With top-tier support from Rustan Marketing Corporation, Filorga is now officially in the Philippines and ready to elevate your skincare routine.
One last look
I’m grateful for this gift of prejuvenation—I truly can’t wait to try everything. Whether you’re a skincare minimalist or a full-on ritualist, Filorga offers science-backed, intelligent formulas that meet your skin where it is, and take it where you want it to go.
And to echo what I felt walking out of the launch: this isn’t about chasing youth—it’s about embracing skin that feels as vibrant and youthful as you do. Because great skin isn’t about age, it’s about condition.
And finally, the secret’s out. And accessible.
