Tested for you: Face Oil “Pistachio Face Oil” by Irene Forte

A special kind of face oil: We are familiar with melatonin in capsule form, the human hormone that helps us to fall into a deep sleep during jet lag. Phytomelatonin, the plant version of human melatonin, on the other hand, is now a tried and tested ingredient in cosmetics that reduces the visible signs of skin ageing. Plant melatonin counteracts the degenerative effects of UV radiation and stress factors on the skin. With its “Pistachio Face Oil”, Irene Forte Skincare has launched a product that smells gently of pistachios and effectively rejuvenates our skin. How does the face oil work? The special feature of the face oil is its fast-absorbing formula. Phytomelatonin, which is extracted from Italian Alpine plants, plays a key role in its effectiveness. Using a patented process developed by the scientific director at Irene Forte Skincare, the active ingredient penetrates deep into the skin, promoting cell regeneration and rejuvenation. 28 percent stabilized vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, softens the skin and strengthens the natural skin barrier to prevent moisture loss. A revitalizing blend of omega-rich oils – avocado-, olive-, and pistachio-oil – further moisturizes the skin. The key ingredients of “Pistachio Face Oil” are harvested on Skincare founder Irene Forte’s organic farm in Sicily. Who is the “Pistachio Face Oil” suitable for? The face oil primarily for people with mature, dry skin. It has also been dermatologically proven to have a positive effect on sensitive skin. What else is special? In line with Irene Forte Skincare’s commitment to sustainability, the “Pistachio Face Oil” comes in an innovative glass bottle with a replaceable interior. Refill components are available separately. Irene Forte Skincare is at the forefront of the Natural Science movement. Accordingly, their vision is “Natura e Scienza” (Nature and Science). The skincare range achieves outstanding results with natural ingredients based on the research of scientific director Dr. Francesca Ferri. The Italian is a pioneer in the medical use of plant extracts to treat skin conditions. Was ist der B-Corp Status? Dr. Ferri has developed a unique extraction process for Irene Forte to obtain this active ingredient, also known as APM, from Italian Alpine plants (Avena sativa, Achillea millefolium, Salvia officinalis). Irene Forte Skincare is certified with B-Corp status and is part of a global movement that stands for an inclusive, fair and regenerative economy.

Tested for you: Face oil “Glow Hydration Oil” by Noble Panacea

Face Oil? To say it right up front, I’ve never been a big fan of face oil. So far, they haven’t enjoyed a particularly good reputation in skin expert circles either – too oily, lingering on the skin without the benefit of being able to penetrate deeper to really make a difference. Face Oils Generation 2.0 With the new generation of facial oils, things have changed. And since I am a fan of the French noble brand Noble Panacea – already because of their practical, travel-friendly single doses and the stylish but sustainable packaging – , I decided to go there on a renewed “oil search”. The portfolio of the brand with the “clean” formulas has been expanded with two new face oils: from the series The Absolute the “Nourishing Lift Oil” and from The Brilliant the “Glow Hydration Oil”. I chose the latter because my skin can use an extra dose of moisture after the very warm summer days in Italy. A well-rounded thing The small round single of the face oil tin in bright fuchsia is quickly opened. The portion is just enough for the face. To my taste, the dosages in the discs at Noble Panacea are often a bit small. I noticed this especially with the Vitamin C Booster… But back to my new face oil: The “Glow Hydration Oil” is silky and absorbs quickly. I like that already very well, because I can not stand the “greasy” feeling of very rich products on the skin. The ingredients are high quality and focused on moisture and glow: Hyaluronic acid encapsulated in OSMV technology. Squalane tightens the skin with its cushioning effect. Retinol stimulates collagen and elastin production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Sea fennel extract replenishes the lipid barrier and thus compensates for deficiencies, allowing the skin to regain its balance. And last but not least, hazelnut kernel oil ensures a supple radiant complexion.. Application evening or daytime? I use the oil in the evening as a soloist. For an additional firm-and-beautiful effect, I massage the product with a Gua Sha stone when I have a lot of time and leisure (happens often!). The moisturizing facial oil can of course also be used during the day. However, it should then be applied as the last step of the care routine over the previously applied products. But that’s exactly why I still shy away from it during the day, because I would then have to apply the oil over my sunscreen – and then my slightly oily T-zone would shine even more.… weiterlesen
