La Prairie

La Prairie skin care, makeup and fragrance represent an exquisite fusion of Swiss science, art and rare ingredients. The brand traces its origins to 1930s Switzerland, where a doctor at Clinique La Prairie pioneered cellular anti-aging therapies. La Prairie became the first brand to apply this research to skin care, infusing collections with their exclusive Cellular Complex.

Eye caviar

This LaPraire caviar eye serum is the BEST eye serum ever!!! I ran out a couple months ago. I noticed a huge difference for the worse. Under my eyes became dry, wrinkly, saggy. Unbelievable. I reordered it and within days noticed an improvement. I apply first thing after I wash in the mornings. Let it dry then apply LaPraurie eye cream. Either the Radiance or Caviar. My under eye area looks smooth and moist. Wrinkles diminished. Younger looking. I love it! I wish there was a serum for around my mouth area. I love LaPrairie AND Nordstrom!!

disappointing

I was excited to finally try a Le Prairie product. I will start off by saying that I only used this product a few times so there could be benefits of regular use that I had yet to experience. When I first got this in the mail and opened it I was surprised to see how small it was. The cap is huge and the little glass bottle is very thick so there is basically no product. I figured okay fine a little must go a long way as it goes with quality product. This product is like an oil and you use a drop and pat it around your eye but it left a tacky shiny residue that didn't absorb. It just sat there on top of my skin until it dried and I was left with a shiny under eye that made my circles stand out I would never wear it during the day. "Gel" no way it's an oil, "quick penetrating" also not true, and lastly it did no soothing or toning. It didn't even leave my skin soft. My final conclusion was that this product is just an over priced glorified eye oil. I'm sorry to say it's nothing special.

miracle

This product really is a miracle. You will notice a difference in as little as a week. Takes years off. Tightens around eyes and I also use it on marionette lines. I thought I was just going to have to live with those, but NO. Love, Love, Love this product and would highly recommend it. Don't be afraid of the little bottle. It lasts a long time.

Totally worth the price!

I can see the difference after only using this for 3 weeks. My droopy eyelids look much better. (I've also noticed that if I don't use it for a few days, my eyelids start to droop.) This works better for me than the La Prairie cream. That melts into my eyes & blurs my vision. This stuff sinks right in & doesn't run. A little (2 or 3 drops) does both eyelids & underneath. I highly recommend this!

Like Having an Eye Lift

I've been using this serum for about three weeks, and can say without hesitation that I don't know how I lived without it. I actually look forward to washing my face twice a day just so I can put this on! Lately I've been getting ready for bed earlier and earlier, as I like masks and like my skincare. This serum and the Cellular Contour Eye Cream have become the dessert to my beauty ritual. The best part. Fine lines are smoothed, eyelids are tightened, the area between the brows is wrinkle-free...can you see why I love this product? I'm planning on eventually taking it a step further with the Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream. A keeper!

Love the Product Except for the Dropper

I love the product itself, but La Prairie could really improve on the bottle and dropper. When you get down to about 1/3 of product left, it becomes very difficult to get the dropper to pick up the product. And after that, the dropper stops working all together. You need to find alternate ways to remove the product. I almost gave a 4 star rating due to the dropper. One bottle lasted 6 months for me.

Unimpressed

Purchased this product but am not impressed. I didn’t expect any amazing results, more just for moisturizing under the eyes and for preventative measures. The price isn’t high because of the quality of the product, rather it’s because of the cost to produce the deluxe dispenser bottle. I would not purchase it again as their are better products for the same price or even less.

No results whatsoever

I was given this as a gift, and I came here to look it up to see if I was using it properly because it does NOTHING at all. I'm shocked to see that this 'do nothing' WATER is sooooo expensive! LOL! (I'm very familiar with LaPrairie, but this is not worth $5 in my opinion!) So yes, I'm using it correctly and I have noticed ZERO benefits from this. What an exorbitant waste of money!!

One of my go to eye products

I am now on my third bottle of Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex and I love it. I was just in a meeting last week and in the presentation materials was a picture of me from five years ago and someone said that I needed to take a new picture because I look so much younger than the picture in the presentation. Of course that was just a one off complement but I have to say that I have been using the Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex and the Creme Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream for quite a while now and the fine lines around my eyes are hardly noticeable. The La Prairie product line is expensive, but I think it is worth it and I am looking at adding some more of their products to my daily routine.

Love this product!

I have been using it for years and I wouldn’t change it for another product for my eyes. As its price is high, I tried others and they don’t leave my skin smooth and bright as this one. I rather pay for this one than waisting money on others.

Good Product

My Eyes have recently developed bags under them. I started using this product and I can tell a huge difference in my eyes. My husband has been saying how I look less tired lately. I will definitely continue to purchase this product.
