With the seasons changing, it’s always a good idea to adjust your skincare routine and boost cellular regeneration in order to improve the quality and radiance of your skin.

Enter Filorga’s new NCEF-Shot – a ten-day anti-ageing treatment, formulated with the highest dose of Filorga’s patented New Cellular Encapsulated Factors (NCEF). A daily dose equals the same concentration of NCEF as one professional meso-injectable, anti-ageing treatment.

What you have to appreciate about medical-grade skincare is the science behind it. The technology makes sure that the beneficial ingredients that are contained in the formula are able to penetrate the various layers of your skin – and that’s why you would see the results.

So what are these ingredients?

A cocktail of Vitamins A, B, C and E, amino acids, minerals, co-enzymes and antioxidants – all absolutely fabulous for the skin and great for tired-looking, lined skin lacking in firmness and luminosity.

When I received this product I had already scheduled a microneedling (Dermapen) appointment in order to rev up my skin for spring.

So, a day after the treatment, which leaves the skin a bit red, I did a patch test to see if the NCEF-Shot would sting – it didn’t, and actually felt very soothing. So I started the 10-day treatment with the NCEF-Shot right there and then, as my skin was ultra-prepped to allow deep penetration of the product.

The formula has a lovely texture and is absorbed very quickly. I used it morning and evening before my usual serum – a dose of 0.75ml, easily dispensed from the pipette dropper.

My product lasted a bit longer than 10 days… depends on how accurate you are with dosage, as well as the size of your face – my face is quite small and a little spreads a long way.

My results?

For me, the ultimate testimonial is this: if I was gifted the product, would I buy it for myself once I had finished it? (For example, I am on my fifth bottle of Filorga Oxygen Peel – a steadfast product in my skincare routine). The answer is yes! NCEF-Shot is a powerful product that is best used when your skin really needs a wake-up call- like when the season changes or when you’ve had a stressful period at work, if you’re not sleeping well and your skin looks fatigued or if you have a special event coming up and you want an effective, targeted treatment that will give you visible results.

My skin the day after a Dermapen treatment, when I used the Filorga NCEF-Shot – no make-up, just mascara and gloss
