Hello dearies,

I’m back to give you my thoughts on some La Prairie skincare products.

I will start with the 4 deluxe sized samples of the Micellar Water, the Foam Cleanser, the Cellular Refining Lotion & the Luxe Cream Sheer formula:

These were very kindly thrown into my stash when I purchased several items at a go. I would say that using the Micellar Water with a cotton pad does remove makeup but not water-proof mascaras nor more pigmented lipsticks. It’s a water based formula and does not contain any oils so that explains why it’s not able to remove water-proof products. This smells lightly of the usual La Prairie scent and skin feels refreshed after wiping with this. I’m not sure how much this retails for and I will no purchase full size as I think there are definitely cheaper options out there, unless you are a huge fan of La Prairie and want the full size to look good on your vanity.

Next up is the Cleansing Foam and it works the same as any other regular foam cleansers. It lathers up pretty fast and rinses off very easily. However, I think this is more suited for oily skin types because my skin felt tight after washing it off. It’s a little too stripping for my liking.

Next is the Cellular Refining Lotion which acts as a toner after the cleansing routine. This does not contain alcohol and is gently on the skin. I quite like this one 😌

Next is the Skin Caviar Luxe Cream in Sheer texture (moisturizer). This melts into the skin and does not leave any sticky residue. I very much prefer this to the original formula. FYI, they have launched a premier version as I’m writing this and I was also given a small sample to try. The premier version is very very rich in texture and it gave me some bumps which I believe is too “oily” for me. To sum up, if you want lifting and firming results, for dry to normal skin types, do try the premier version whereas for oilier skin types, do try the sheer version. Also if you live in a dry cold climate, the premier may be more suitable vs hot humid climate and vice versa.

Next are the full sized items that I bought. First is the Skin Caviar Essence-In-Lotion (SGD$405)

This one smells like perfume! I was told they had to add lots of fragrance to cover the “fishy” caviar smell 😰 Don’t sound too good for Skin I would say but ok, it’s a La Prairie. I bought it as part of the whole skincare range I’m trying. This is like a sticky water that you pat onto your face. It feels kinda nice & skin is soft after that. You may try to ask for a sample before buying just in case your skin is sensitive to fragrance. I was lucky to get away with it and enjoy using it.

Next is the Gold Radiance Serum. This full sized item was part of my “free” gift choice for spending a huge fortune on their items. They decided to throw this in for me! (I think this retails for close to SGD1000). Ok this one contains REAL GOLD, yes, real gold as in the metal GOLD. Feels so luxurious and I love using this on my skin when it feels it needs to be nourished. It contains very fine gold particles which appears slightly “shimmery” when applied on the face, thus the name – Radiance . I might repurchase after I finish this 😍

Next is one big favorite of mine and it is the Cellular 3 Minute Peel (SGD380):

I was introduced to this during my complementary facial with them. After the facial, I could see my pores refined and skin texture looks much more even than before and I asked the lady which special product she used on me. She explained about this peel and I bought it immediately. Apparently this peel is gentle enough for a weekly home use. On my skin, I could feel some tingle upon application but I can get through the 3 minutes knowing how good my skin will be after that. If you are looking for a gentle yet effective peel, do give this a shot. But hey, stick to 3 minutes ok! Leaving it on for any longer and you may risk experiencing skin irritation. It’s gonna be my weekly exfoliating HG! 😍

Next are three types of masks that follows after my peel ( I alternate between these three): the Cellular Hydralift Firming Mask (SGD290):

I would use this in the shower after the peel and leave it on for 15 minutes for it to work. This tingled on my skin for quite awhile (like 5 minutes) and I’m not able to tell if my skin was firmer or not. I do not like the smell (smells like expired old face cream) and also don’t find it that effective in hydrating as the name suggest (i.e. hydra). Don’t really recommend this. 😖

Next is the Swiss Cellular White Intensive Illuminating Mask (SGD365 for 6 sheets):

As it’s named Illuminating, it really lived up to it. After removing this, my skin looks illuminated from within. I save these for once every fortnightly as it would be too costly for a weekly treat. The mask comes in two sheets in each package with one for the upper face and the other for the lower face. It’s a thick cotton sheet & big enough for my fat face! 🤣 And the serum/liquid inside the package is more than sufficient so I’ll usually massage the remaining of it onto my body as well. (It’s expensive, don’t waste it). If you have some spare cash, go get this – no regrets! 🙈

Last but not least is the Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask (SGD565):

Sorry mine is still unwrapped because the SA gave me so many samples of this (like 8 x 10ml jars) that I’m still using. I love it so much that I bought the full size as a backup because I don’t want it to run out 🤣

I’ll leave the link here where you can see it’s actual packaging. Product sits in a jar and comes with an application brush: La Prairie Sleep Mask

I did not unwrap to get the brush out because I prefer lesser product wastage, I rather use my fingers for application. On the instructions, you can use this at night and leave it on till the next morning. For me, I slap this on after the peel and let it sink into my skin for 30 minutes or so before I use a toner to remove it and then continue with other skin care steps after that. This calms my skin from slight redness from the peel and I love the smooth texture of it. I brought this for my travel use because I can skip all other skin care (if I’m lazy) and just slap this on after toner and sleep through. Love love love! 😍
