Irene Forte: discover the Italian luxury skincare brand

May 2021

"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

It’s not about a faddy diet or a quick fix, it’s something that promotes longevity,” she explains. “I think in a very similar way about skincare, in that I don’t believe in ingredients that are particularly harsh, or that are going to completely change the pH of your skin.” Irene’s approach towards beauty is holistic, and she considers a healthy lifestyle an essential part of any skincare routine.
