Filorga, a 35-year-old, French-founded skincare brand, is distinctive in its approach to anti-aging: Its formulas are inspired by medical aesthetics procedures and aim to deliver the smoothing, plumping, lifting results you’d expect from injectable treatments  — on a much smaller scale, of course.

The brand has garnered ample acclaim from shoppers, InStyle editors, and my 71-year-old mom, who once specifically called me to rave about the brand’s moisturizer. Perhaps its most notable product, however, is Filorga’s best-selling Time-Filler 5-XP Cream, which addresses numerous wrinkle types via a targeted, multi-faceted approach. For a limited time, you can snag one for 30 percent off during the brand’s sitewide sale when you use code BLACKFRIDAY at checkout. Frankly, it’s among the most-compelling anti-aging Black Friday 2023 deals I’ve found — and there are so many good ones. 

The Filorga Time-Filler 5-XP Cream is a rich, emollient moisturizer that delivers skin-plumping hydration and wrinkle-smoothing benefits, both instantly and over time. True to the brand’s aesthetics-centric ethos, the cream addresses five specific wrinkle types: expression lines, deep wrinkles, surface wrinkles, dehydration wrinkles, and neck wrinkles, per the brand.

The formula softens expression lines — aka crow’s feet, forehead lines, and the elevens, caused by years of repeated facial muscle contractions — via a peptide blend. Specifically, a blend of neuropeptides, which, per the brand, work similarly to injectable neuromodulators (e.g. Botox Cosmetic) by “relax[ing] the…muscle contractions” responsible for wrinkles.   

Hyaluronic acid — skincare’s ultimate quenching ingredient, smooths deep wrinkles by plumping skin with maximum hydration. Sea fennel, which contains mild exfoliation properties, lessens the appearance of surface wrinkles, or fine lines, over time.

The brand’s signature medical aesthetics-inspired NCEF complex — a blend of amino acids, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants — mitigates wrinkles caused by dehydration. Finally, Kangaroo Paw Flower extract, which boasts collagen-stimulating effects, “restructures neck wrinkles,” per the brand. 

Shoppers swear the cream delivers on its promises. According to one over-55-year-old fan, their skin appeared “clearer and younger” after only “a few days of use.” Furthermore, the moisturizer has “reduced fine lines and wrinkles,” they say. Similarly, another reviewer noticed their “deep forehead lines diminishing” after only two weeks of use.  

For smoother, plumper, more youthful-looking skin in minutes, snag the best-selling Filorga Time-Filler 5-XP Cream while it’s 30 percent off for Black Friday.
