CELLULAR SWISS ICE CRYSTAL EMULSION
Lightweight Age-Delaying Emulsion
$300.00 50 ml / 1.7 oz.

The newest product is the fabulous  La Prairie Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Emulsion ($300.00 for 50 ml / 1.7 oz.). It’s a lightweight moisturizing, anti-aging treatment, packed with all the skin loving benefits described above. But while it absorbs almost immediately and you feel no residue on your skin, the difference between the side of the face I applied the product to, and the side I didn’t, was immediately evident and quite staggering.  The formula not only deeply hydrates on contact, and helps deal with the signs of aging, it also works the eradicate the effects of fatigue and stress, and dullness.

The richer Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream also works on all of thse issues, but this new product is a nice alternative for people who want a powerhouse of hydration and anti-aging benefits in a lighter formula. In fact, this product has a few more extracts, peptides and antioxidants to help plump the skin and support firmness.  None of the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal products are budget priced, but you do get what yo pay for in this product, and it’s going to be a must-have for those who demand high performance skincare.

CELLULAR SWISS ICE CRYSTAL EYE CREAM Lightweight Age-Delaying Eye Cream $225.00 20 ml / 0.68 oz.

I have a love/hate relationship with eye creams. My skin and eyes are sensitive and therefore I tend to shy away from anything that might creep into my eyes. But the skin around the eyes shows fatigue and dark circles and signs of aging which need treatment. ignore that area at your own peril!  The new La Prairie Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream ($225.00 for 20 ml / 0.68 oz.) is a lightweight treatment that helps erase dark circles, puffiness, dryness and lines almost instantly.

To my delight, I found this new cream to be light and easy to apply, not at all offensive to sensitive skin (like mine anyway). Yes, it’s pricey, but you again, you get what you pay for and it’s worth every penny.  This eye cream will not only hydrate, protect and brighten your eye area, it will brighten your day because it helps to brighten dark circles from age, stress, and sleepless night, too!

CELLULAR SWISS ICE CRYSTAL DRY OIL $300.00 30 ml / 1.0 oz.

 

 

Another “wow!” product is the La Prairie Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil ($300.00 for 30 ml / 1.0 oz.). It  isn’t the newest in the collection, but I really love it.  When you hear the word “oil” you automatically think “greasy” or “sticky” but dry oils are a different animal completely. A dry oil instantly melts into your skin, leaving nothing behind but benefits (and in the case of La Prairie’s Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil, the faint smell of flowers).  Dispensed from a elegant silver-topped dropper bottle, the sheer, moisture-binding oil is a treatment and a true treat) for dry skin. It supports your skin’s natural lipid barrier function with a combination of rare and pure oils in the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex that seal moisture in your skin for a long time to protect it, keep it soft, smooth and glowing, and help it deal with life’s daily stresses.  Use a drop or two in the morning and evening after cleansing and toning, applied to face, neck, and décolleté or blend it into your favorite moisturizing cream or emulsion in the palm of your hand to boost hydration. TIP: you can use it over a serum too, if you’ve blended it into a moisturizer,  first.  At $300.00 per ounce, I don’t suggest it as a daily indulgence unless you have a very big bank account,  but I also used massaged a few drops on the back of my very dry hands  — it performed a major miracle.

There is something just so elegant about the packaging, the feel of these products, and of course, the immediate and long term results that make them high performance, exceptional beauty treats. While the cost of the collection may not be in everyone’s budget, if you can even select just one, you’ll realize a more beautiful future for your skin.
