Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion

Stunning product...probably one of my favorites in the SkinCaviar line! Granted, the price is steep, but not abnormal considering the rest of the line. Add to that, the product in this bottle goes a long way, and lasts a long time. Being on the wrong side of 59, I'm fairly certain I will be keeping this as a mainstay to my regimen. Keeping the bounce in my skin is just as important as keeping a bounce in my step!

Sometimes I skip toner and just use this but your supposed to use toner first. My skin is combo but it appears as if my skin drinks this in and loves it! Almost feels like a serum really helps hold in hydration. Just wish it came with a pump instead of pouring it out.

I wanted to try this to see how it compared to the La Mer Treatment Lotion. Hands down I love the La Prairie. It's thicker and so silky, light fragrance, feels like heaven on the skin. Highly recommend. You don't need much so for the price I can justify. Really awesome product!

Essences are popping up everywhere, seemingly from every brand. I've tried essences by SK-II and La Mer, and La Prairie's essence beats both. I honestly don't know whether or not I believe this is a necessary step in my already lengthy skin care regimen, but this essence feels and smells delightful upon application and I do feel as though it prepares my skin for serum and cream following use. If most or all of your skin care products are La Prairie, you will absolutely benefit from this essence. I use the Skin Caviar line, so this addition makes sense. I subtracted a star because I did find it to cause an occasional pimple on my chin, which is the only 'combination' area on my face. Overall a great product worth the money!

I received a sample of this in my recent Nordstrom order. I have super dry, menopausal skin. I'm 44yo. I applied this after washing my face this am and can't tell you how nice this has sealed in the moisture for the day. It's now 7hrs later and my skin is still glowing! This has the cleanest scent, is 100% luxury & I am in love!!!! My skin just drank up this essence!! I can't tell you enough about it ... It is "that" good! Splurge!!

After a day of use, this has already made my skin look and feel VERY moisturized, softer and firmer. I used the La Prairie skin caviar line after this (it came as a gift with purchase) and must say I am considering becoming a devout follower of this luxury line - if I can find a skincare regime that staves off the Botox, etc. route, I will! Feels like I found a kind of magic with this product.

This costs a pretty penny at $320 USD. But is it worth it? In short: Yes. It's actually one of the most cost effective products that LP have to offer. You only use a few drops of this each time, which means this products LASTS and then some (comes in a 5.0 fl oz size). Is it yet another unnecessary step in a never-ending routine that these 'premium' brands have mastered the art of? Of course it is! But it's also one of LP's better anti-aging formulations ingredients-wise, and ideal for those with normal to oily/combination skin types. Reason being: it's super-light. It literally vanishes into my skin within seconds - similarly to Clinique's Hydrating Jelly but even faster absorbing. Both times I followed with a moisturizer, as even though my skin 'felt' smoother (Dimethicone ahem!) it also felt like it needed more hydration. So dry skin types beware! I should also warn you that it's quite strongly fragranced. If you don't get along well with perfumed products or silicones: you're best skipping this product, or use just every other day, like I do. In the time I've been using this, I've noticed a bit of added hydration, a slight increase in radiance too. Also my makeup goes on better when I use it in the morning, which again is down to the silicone content. Bottom line: if you want to try something from the LP brand, but find most of their products too heavy, then this might be the one for you. For me personally it's a one-off splurge. I can't justify spending this much more than once, unless I'm wowed by something, and as nice as this product is, it's definitely not in that category. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

Over the years I have incorporated certain La Prairie products into my normal skincare regime and have NEVER been disappointed. Well.. let me tell you, this is another wimner! Although pricey, a little and I do mean a little goes a long way, so the bottle should last a little while. I pour probably less then a dime size amount into the palm of my hand, rub my palms together and then pat it on my face. It dries quickly and is not sticky at all. I still have oily skin even at 48 and this DOES NOT make the problem worse, which is always a plus. So take it from me all you beautiful and fabulous ladies out there, BUY IT!! You'll be happy you did.

As a matter of fact, I can’t live without it 🙂. But the glass bottle with no pump made me remove a star.

I love this product. I have pretty good skin, when used as intended, this brought it to nearly perfect. The bottle does not make it easy to use, so I purchased a 2 ounce colored spray bottle and use between 1-2 sprays per use. I have been using day and night for 3 months and it is about 1/4 gone. Definitely going to keep this in my routine!

This is by far my favorite out of the caviar line. Being a rookie to the line i bought this in October 2016 and have seen a difference since. I wanted to try this line to make sure i do what i can to keep my skin looking great without going to the extreme of botox or any type of surgery. My skin is more smooth and even toned and my pores have gotten smaller. It does what it says it does and worth the purchase. I still have about half a bottle. Don't miss out!

I received a sample of this product from a Nordstrom sales person. It would have been perfect as I live in a desert area and need lightweight products, It fit the bill except my skin got a burning sensation right away. I tried it again a week later, same thing. It could have been the perfume in the product, but a person with sensitive skin should try a sample first. If only cosmetic companies did not use perfume in their products, it does not belong there. I saw a lot of complaints about the perfume in this product online, they should pay attention. We have gone past grandmas day.
