This velvety-black new generation night cream was launched this week by French anti-ageing experts, Filorga, who are renowned for their Medi-Cosmetique range of skincare products. This cream explores the dark side of life, as most repair and recovery of the skin is done at night while you are sleeping. Skin Absolute contains a powerful meteorite extract which increases detoxification and restoration of skin cells while you sleep. It also has a whole array of active ingredients which target wrinkles, promote firmness, lighten dark spots and enhance radiance.

I love the fact that the meteorite extract gives this cream a silky soft texture (as it contains silicon, vital for the synthesis of collage, elastin and hyaluronic acid) and lends it a black lacquered appearance, which disappears as soon as you apply it! But honestly, with the French skincare brand's stellar reputation as well as their laboratories constantly breaking new ground in the anti-ageing industry, this newest addition will have you thanking your lucky stars...

Skin Absolute will be available in selected Edgars and Red Square stores from November and will retail for R 1 700.00 for 50ml.
