I’ve shared countless skincare recommendations with my 71-year-old mom, but Filorga—a French brand with formulas inspired by wrinkle-smoothing, complexion-plumping aesthetic treatments—has secured a spot on her shortlist.
For context: She and I share similarly dry skin types and typically gravitate toward rich, emollient creams and oils as a result. As the weather warms, however, occlusive, weighty formulas are far less comfortable to don. Ergo, springtime has me reaching for lighter face creams—though finding a formula that’s both feather-light and adequately quenching for my thirsty skin can prove challenging. My mom, however, has found a steadfast solution in a moisturizer that’s perfect for seasonal shifts: Filorga’s Hydra-Hyal Cream.
You can snag the moisturizer on sale in time for your own warm-weather skincare swaps. From now until May 15, the cream, in addition to other Filorga favorites, is 30 percent off. Simply use the code LOVEMOM30 at checkout to score the discount. P.S. This is the brand’s biggest sale of the year, so don’t miss out.
Filorga
The Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream is a highly hydrating, skin-plumping moisturizer with a creamy texture and surprisingly lightweight feel. Created for dry skin types, it’s powered, not by heavy oils, but by skincare’s most lauded hydrator: hyaluronic acid, a humectant that delivers instant dewy plumpness, sans a weighty, heavy feel on the skin.
Moreover, the moisturizer features five forms of the skin-quenching molecule, each a different weight—a factor that dictates where the molecule settles once applied. As dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian, M.D., previously shared, when the “molecular weight is lower…[hyaluronic acid] penetrates more deeply into the skin.” Though both ends of the spectrum offer benefits; higher-weight hyaluronic acid plumps more superficial levels of the skin. By combining five different forms, the Hydra-Hyal Cream takes advantage of many.
Furthermore, Filorga’s moisturizer contains glycerin, yet another humectant and hydrator—and a long-acting one at that. “Glycerin is one of a precious few moisturizing ingredients that has a lasting effect, well beyond its time of application and absorption," dermatologist Dr. Melanie Palm, M.D., previously told InStyle. Consequently, the ingredient maintains plump, fresh-faced results for longer, as it does in Filorga’s cream.
For a lightweight moisturizer that’s perfect for warmer weather, shop the Filorga Hydra-Hyal Cream. Remember: Use the code LOVEMOM30 at checkout to snag it on sale.
