January 2024

Described as 'a radical step forward in natural skincare,' the Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum is said to work after four weeks, but word-of-mouth reviews are extolling a difference in only one.

December 2023

Dr. Francesca Ferri’s 35 years of research in natural skin- care culminated in the introduction of this groundbreaking serum containing Alpine Plant Melatonin (APM).

Winter 2023/24

Irene Forte’s new serum claims you’ll see results in one month, but we noticed after just two weeks that our skin was smoother, more resilient, and more plump.

December 2023

"Her [Irene’s] products, based on ingredients cultivated on the Sicilian family farm, are formulated, as she likes to point out, to be the best Mediterranean skin diet. On the menu, the best of “nutraceuticals”: pomegranates, almonds, oranges, lemons, pistachios... whose richness in vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants is widely recognised. But the recipe is intended to be more elaborate. If the natural extracts are the starting ingredients, the extremely effective formulations, are based on the work of a solid in-house scientific team. Thus, hibiscus seeds were designed to create Myoxinol™, a patented active ingredient whose botox-like effect on deep wrinkles is more than convincing for mature skin."

October 2023

When a skin product is awarded six times, its effects are certainly astonishing. The proof with the Irene Forte mask is that it hydrates the skin for 12 hours and immediately plumps it. Olive and rice oil fractions—rich in skin-improving nutrients and antioxidants—plus provitamin B5 help revitalise and protect the skin. Pistachio, pumpkin seed and avocado oils replenish the skin's natural moisture barrier for smooth and supple skin. It's a true comforting cocoon for the skin, which you can even leave on all night to wake up with a radiant complexion.

November 2023

Orchards under the sun are the inspiration for this mask, both respectful and sustainable, with a trio of Italian grapes, apple and lemon transformed into a tetra-acid complex. For luminous and clear skin: sebum-reducing zinc, jojoba oil and rosemary-lavender floral waters.

November 2023

Promising to overhaul your skin's tone, texture and bounce, it's no wonder Irene Forte's new Phytomelatonin Rejuvenating Serum is causing a serious buzz in the beauty world right now. Designed to tackle the signs of ageing without causing any irritation, the formula is also backed by 35 years of research and clinical trials – so it's proven to strengthen and firm your complexion over time. 

November 2023

"For some self care, I recommend using the Pistachio Mask with its strong antioxidant power and packed with Omegas 3 and 6, which strengthen the skin barrier. It's thick, making it ideal for performing a face massage. I also recommend sipping an ice cold hibiscus infusion, rich in Vitamin C," recommends Irene Forte of the eponymous brand.

April 2021

Myoxinol, a bio-peptide extracted from hibiscus seeds, is the reason why the Italian-made Irene Forte Prickly Pear Face Cream works so well for wrinkles. The ingredient works in a similar manner as injectables by targeting deep-set forehead wrinkles and expression lines that pop up as we age. Plus, it contains hyaluronic acid, which Dr. Oyetakin says "temporarily fills in the spaces between collagen and elastin fibers, giving the appearance of smooth skin," and vitamin E for a stronger barrier, and subsequently, less moisture loss.

Several certifications and initiatives are emerging in an effort to build sustainability frameworks. I really rate B-Corp certification, which verifies the brands that meet the highest standards of top-to-toe social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability — in other words the sustainable practices stretch across not just products and production lines, but also company policies and practices. Eponymous Italian skincare brand Irene Forte is one such company — organic produce is matched by refillable bottles, recyclable jars (made from 31 per cent post-industrial recyclable material), and 100 percent recycled fibre boxes.

Dr Ferri has run a number of studies illustrating that the effectiveness of many natural active ingredients actually diminishes when it goes beyond a certain percentage in a formula. So, we believe in putting the precise amount to deliver the most effective benefits while avoiding harmful side effects, and don’t believe in putting in a higher percentage just for marketing purposes. We advocate the concept of psico-cosmesi, meaning that what we put on our skin benefits us emotionally and thus physically. The organoleptic properties of a product are vital to achieve this. - Irene Forte
