Marketed as a post-peel/post-injection formula, Filorga Neocica helps to soothe and calm traumatised skin. ‘Traumatised’ being the operative word. Botox and fillers I have no issue with, however, chemical peels I am acutely averse to. They may well offer a short term anti-ageing effect but, over time, I believe they expedite the ageing process. Anyway, as I haven’t had – or needed may I add – Botox or fillers, I decided to give Filorga’s Neocica a whirl on my shave rash. After all, shaving does traumatise the skin. The scent is notable and the formula has a great consistency. Although it did soothe my rash, it didn’t get rid of it. As it’s been tested on alternative issues, don’t be put-off. If you have had any needle treatment give it a try, at just £32 it won’t break the bank.

Best for: rapid absorbtion
