When one thinks of La Prairie, they think of caviar. The luxury Swiss skincare brand capitalized on the intriguing ingredient back in 1987 with its debut caviar product, Skin Caviar Dermo Beads. The brand has since expanded into a whole caviar collection, including a sleep mask, body cream, and even a cushion compact foundation. Now, La Prairie is debuting Caviar Premier, a “remastered” take on the original caviar formula.
The cream is made of caviar extract sourced from Siberian sturgeon that is sustainably farmed. La Prairie’s director of innovation who leads product development, says the company’s past 30 years of research has shown them caviar extract has “firming, lifting, volumizing benefits, and gives back that elasticity to the skin.” He continues, “It really works on the skin’s extracellular matrix, all of that ‘scaffold’ that really gives the firmness to the skin.”
Starting with the principal ingredient, caviar, which contains oleic and linoleic fatty acids which are part of the Omega-6 family, as well as other fatty acids like arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids from the Omega-3 family. Very stereotypical of fishy products and very common in the world of beauty. There has been a lot of positive research into the nutritional value of Omega-3, (pass the caviar) but less into their topical application. However, studies do show eicosapentaenoic acid promotes collagen production and protects cells from inflammation and damage.
“Caviar premier is a mix of many, many different molecules from a chemical point of view. It’s not easy to incorporate those ingredients into a formula and to keep, at the same time, the sensors. The mix of active ingredients often contradicts the ingredients needed to make the cream feel indulgent to the touch.
Premium packaging includes a glass jar and silver application spatula.
As for the silver spatula? There’s a practical reason: If you use a spatula, you do not introduce what you have on your fingers—germs, microbes—into the cream. “You could eat with your fingers—why do you use a knife and a fork? It’s a little bit similar, you know? I love the idea of a spatula. It pays a little bit of respect to the cream and also to your skin. The little tool is also meant to prompt you into taking your sweet time with your skincare routine. Everything is so easy to access, so quick, that in fact to get time is becoming luxury.
Caviar Cream Luxe, it definitely performs. Even after just using the product for one night, it revived my tired, travel-ravaged skin. The look and feel of the whole package, plus the silky feeling of the cream and the little silver spatula made my regular routine feel more like a spa treatment. Yes, this cream very much makes sense in your life.
La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream is an amazing addition to my skincare routine. It feels so rich yet lightweight, glides onto the skin so easily and sinks in to give a smooth, refined, and firm skin. My skin feels so soft, toned, supple, and tightened. I have been really happy with how my skin behaves when I use this cream, I do see and feel the transformation it has made. There is no residue after applying the cream, there is a very natural glow, my pores look so tight and skin looks like a smooth canvas. It works perfectly under my makeup as well as during the night. It has not caused any breakouts or congestion on my combination skin, instead, I do feel my skin is so much toned and firm. This is indeed such an exquisite experience to indulge in this precious cocktail of amazing ingredients remastered into this masterpiece.
