Coty Prestige presented two key new anti-ageing launches from skin and body care brand Philosophy at last month’s TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes.
Full of Promise aims to restore skin volume, lift and firmness, which often diminish with age as collagen production slows and elastin fibres lose their spring and become “disorganised”, making them less able to withstand the forces of gravity.

Philosophy’s latest launches, as showcased in Cannes | |
The brand has developed what it describes as a dynamic am/pm protocol to help rejuvenate and restore skin by following its natural rhythms. Full of Promise day-time serum is said to deliver visible lifting results and reinforce skin elasticity. In the evening, when skin is actively rejuvenating itself, the volumising night-time serum helps to visibly restore lost volume and create the appearance of redefined contours, according to the brand.
The two serums are complemented by an advanced restoring cream to moisturise and protect the skin. Key ingredients include a unique protein recycling complex powered by a proprietary peptide, combined with a marine micro algae. The result, says the brand, is hydrated, smooth and supple skin.
In other news, Philosophy has extended its facial peeling segment with a new product, the Microdelivery Triple-Acid Brightening Peel. The weekly treatment is designed to help brighten skin in just 30 seconds. It delivers advanced brightening and anti-ageing benefits in one step, at home, with zero downtime, according to the brand. It is said to be ideal for anyone concerned with skin discoloration, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, post-acne scarring and fine lines and wrinkles.
The key ingredient is mandelic acid, derived from bitter almond, which provides the exfoliating benefits of traditional alpha hydroxy acids (ahas) but with less potential for irritation. This next-generation aha is combined with phytic acid, which acts as a natural skin brightener, and glycolic acid, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration by improving the skin’s texture.
The product is delivered via a portable pad; each pack contains 12 pads, enough for 12 weekly treatments.
