When it comes to luxury skincare brands, La Prairie is top of my list. Don’t get me wrong, I love a bit of Augustinus Bader and La Mer, but to me, La Prairie really stands out from the crowd thanks to the brand’s impressive beginnings. Founded in 1931, the Brand actually started as a wellness destination on the shores of Switzerland, under the scientific leadership of Dr Paul Niehans. Dr Niehans developed cellular therapy, which lead the brand to come up with its own exclusive cellular complex. This cellular complex enhances the skin’s renewal process, and it is at the heart of almost every La Prairie skincare product today.

As innovative and impressive as that is, there’s another ingredient that the brand uses that always catches my eye. That’s right, I’m talking about caviar. Before trying La Prairie skincare, I always thought of caviar as a very expensive snack that I didn’t really care to try. I don’t know about you, but the texture alone was enough to put me off. However, it turns out that caviar can also help to moisturise, lift and firm the skin, and after learning this, I was so intrigued to give one of La Prairie’s caviar skincare products a go.

Now, it’s safe to say that these products don’t come cheap. With the creams and serums ranging from £400 to over £600, it’s definitely not something that you would purchase on a regular basis. That being said, as a beauty editor, I am always up for putting these luxury products to the test to see if they are really worth the investment. It’s a hard job, but someone’s gotta do it, right? 

La Prairie had recently brought out a new product as part of their caviar range, called the White Caviar Pearl Infusion Serum. Retailing at a cool £615, I decided it was time to give it a go to find out if it would make a noticeable difference to my skin. Keep on scrolling for my honest thoughts…
