IRENE FORTE: 2 essential breakthrough anti-aging products
By Deborah Ferguson
Irene Forte’s skincare products have rightfully garnered awards as noteworthy Italian based pioneers of the Natural Science movement. My ongoing focus is trying and reviewing skincare brands that take their research and sustainable, organic, ingredients seriously as they do the efficacy. One of the many things I love about Irene Forte’s skincare is the gorgeous, luxurious refillable glass bottles and jars, which makes it more enticing to use and experience. I’ve tried the recently launched: PHYTOMELATONIN REJUVENATING SERUM for over 3 months and paired it with The award-winning night cream: FORTE RIGENERANTE HIBISCUS NIGHT CREAM.
Organic, vegan, sustainable are key factors to consider when you apply face creams, body oils, creams, serums etc. It has become crucial to protect and nourish our skin with products that buffer the long-term effects the environment has on our skin. It’s equally essential to be aware of harsh chemicals in beauty products that effect our hormones, skin health and a long list of ignored side effects.
The key ingredients in Irene Forte’s skincare products are harvested at the founder: Irene Forte’s organic farm in Sicily. All of Irene Forte’s skincare products are certified vegan, recognized for high ethical standards, Irene Forte Skincare has achieved the admirable B-Corp status.
The new break-through product, launched in November 2023: Phyto melatonin Rejuvenating Serum is created with 35 years of research by Irene Forte’s in house Science Director Dr Francesca Ferri. Dr Ferri’s 35 + years working with organic ingredients in makeup products and skincare that treat dermalogical conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. Dr Ferri’s experience in harnessing the benefits of Holly-leaved berry and extracting resveratrol from red grapes which address serious skin conditions was of great value when formulating the new Serum for Irene Forte.
Irene worked with Dr Ferri for over 5 years to formulate the new serum, created with a patented extraction technique for Alpine Plant Melatonin, which harnesses the power of Phyto melatonin.
Texture: medium weight oil formula, I applied very little, and it was enough, noting it’s easy to overload on this serum. The smooth texture was a sublime experience while massaging into my face and decollate. Results: It took a while for the serum to absorb, so I left it on for 10 minutes, which was ideal for the extraordinary ingredients to activate. Once absorbed I had a light veil of moisture glow. It is a stellar alternative to daytime moisturizer that has a dual effect and as a base for makeup or under sunscreen.
At night I added the Forte Rigenerate Hibiscus Night cream for the ultimate deep repair and moisture effect over the serum.
The serum’s overall plumping, glow effect was immediate. Over a period of 60 days my facial lines minimized, and I noticed by dark spots from sun damage were a bit lighter.
I see this serum becoming hard to get as it has the bonus of repair and moisture. I suggest it for all skin types, including acne or very dry, as its formula is created for all skin types including sensitive. Its dual formula is unique and excellent if you need an instant deep repair, moisture glow treatment. Also ideal for men after shaving, it will assist in soothing the skin while repairing.
Brand Note: This breakthrough anti-aging serum is backed by 35 years of research, clinically proven to significantly reduce five signs of aging while calming and soothing the skin, with a pure blend of 70% APM™ and 30% Vitamin E. This serum reduces the appearance of wrinkle depth and volume, brown spots, UV spots, red areas and pore visibility.
“I have never been more excited about a product than Phyto melatonin Rejuvenating Serum. This truly is the work of a lifetime by our esteemed Scientific Director,” said Brand Founder and CEO, Irene Forte, “Since I learned about her research into Phyto melatonin and the patented extraction process, I knew that we had the opportunity to develop a game-changing anti-aging product. I’m so excited for our customers to experience the beneficial effects of this truly ground-breaking and clinically proven serum.”

The Hibiscus Night Cream is on my priority use shelf as one of the best night creams I’ve ever used. I have too many superlatives to describe the effectiveness, results, texture, natural scent.
I’ll start with the texture: A medium rich cream, which absorbs and leaves a light moisture veil on your skin along with the addictive soothing natural scent.
Results: instant moisture, with the key nourishing, anti-aging ingredients; Bio-peptide Myoxinol (extracted from Hibiscus seeds) along with the green pea polypeptides, and the novel Tetrapeptide (to support your skin’s collagen) , hyaluronic acid to plump your skin. And lastly; , an omega-rich Olive Oil and Tetra-Ceramide Complex ; which work in harmony with the body’s natural circadian rhythm to assist in overnight moisture retention and skin barrier rejuvenation.
Aside from the result driven formula, the overall experience of using this night cream is knowing I’m applying a face cream that is gentle and carefully formulated with organic locally sourced farm ingredients. As my skin ages, I prioritize natural, organic and sustainable formulas to counter act the UV and environmental damage and the extreme effects synthetic ingredients have on our hormones despite your age. I mention this as the FDA in the USA restricts 11 ingredients for use in beauty products, whereas the European union restricts over 160.
Brand Note: Drawing immense power from our breakthrough anti-aging ingredient Myoxinol™, extracted from Hibiscus Seeds, this transformative, multi-award-winning night cream gives skin a notable youth boost in just 10 days of use. This clinically proven moisturizer is our #1 bestseller across the globe.
Suitable for overnight use by all skin types, and for mature, dry or dehydrated skin in particular, morning use is also recommended. Dermatologically proven safe for sensitive skin.
