I just tried La Prairie's Skin Caviar Luxe Cream for the first time last week, and despite what you may have heard regarding its price, its performance was quite impressive and surpassed the hype! When I first heard about the product, I assumed the word "caviar" was just marketing, but the cream actually contains a caviar extract, which firms and lifts skin like an invisible scaffolding, while boosting the production of collagen and ceramides, which help to retain moisture.
The extract also prevents the loss of elastin, blocks UV rays, and reduces inflammation, among other notable benefits. Then there's the La Prairie team, which has been perfecting this formula over the past four decades, and sometimes conducts hundreds of tests per year to ensure they're at the very forefront of skincare science.
Personally, I also found the packaging to be quite lovely – the cobalt blue jar is inspired by the placid Swiss lakes and designed in a Bauhaus style. It is intended as an homage to the fusion of the worlds of science and art, both of which are central to the La Prairie brand.
