Tried & Tested: Irene Forte Hibiscus Night Cream

Irene Forte Skincare’s Hibiscus Night Cream, £165

Can this clinically proven, needle-free alternative to Botox really transform skin in just 10 days? We put it to the test.

Luxury skincare often makes bold claims, but few have the clinical backing and research to match those of Irene Forte Skincare’s Hibiscus Night Cream, £165. Designed as a proven alternative to Botox, this multi-award-winning formula harnesses the power of Myoxinol™, a pioneering neuropeptide derived from hibiscus seeds. By relaxing facial muscles, reducing expression lines, and defending against oxidative stress, it delivers smoother, firmer skin in just 10 days—without the needles.

First Impressions

The texture is rich yet absorbs effortlessly, leaving skin feeling deeply nourished without greasiness. The botanical-infused scent is subtle and luxurious—instantly elevating a nighttime routine.

The Results

With just 10 days of use, my dehydrated skin felt plumper, fine lines appeared softened, and my rosacea was noticeably calmer. But the real science is in the numbers—clinical trials on women aged 45-65 found that Myoxinol™ at 1% reduced wrinkle depth by 22.5% in just 3 weeks. Unlike the placebo cream, which showed no improvement, these results prove this formula goes beyond surface-level hydration.

More Than Just Anti-Ageing

Backed by 40 years of research and developed with the expertise of Dr. Francesca Ferri, this high-performance night cream does more than target wrinkles. With a blend of Green Pea Polypeptides, Hyaluronic Acid, and Ceramides, it deeply hydrates, restores skin overnight, and enhances firmness for a visibly lifted, more youthful complexion.

Even better? Sustainability is at its core. Olive Oil and Sweet Almond Oil are sourced directly from the Irene Forte Organic Farm in Sicily, ensuring traceable, high-quality ingredients that work in harmony with your skin.

Is It Worth It?

Yes, it’s a luxury investment, but with clinically proven wrinkle reduction, deep hydration, and antioxidant protection, it’s a standout choice for those seeking real results without invasive treatments. And with its rich formula, a little goes a long way—just press it gently into the skin with the palms of your hands to maximise absorption.

Hood verdict? A game-changing skincare essential for those serious about anti-ageing.
