There are so many anti-aging products on the market, but short of various chemical treatments, there are not all that many products designed to de-age the skin.
La Prairie's Pure Gold is a Cellular Radiance Concentrate, a formula developed by the luxury cosmetics company to recapture the youth of the skin. The de-aging concentrate is a "microemulsion" of 24K gold micro-particles that "lifts, firms, resurfaces, brightens the skin." The bottle contains just one ounce, so it shouldn't take much to see results. Price:
$525.

24K gold can do do nothing for you in this aplication. Gold is a nonreactive substance which provides no chemical or other benefit - the precise reason why it is used for jewelry. It is there merely for exclusivity and marketing for those who are cost indifferent enough to pay for it. This is like adding gold dust to champange to make it taste better. It might sparkle but it won't taste like much.

$525?
I did not know my free sample was so valuable, precious even.
Must admit the effect was instantlky wonderful, so much so, I re-applied the serum everytwo hours, went to bed and reapplied it again in the morning-- Eagerly I set out to Saks Fifth to purchase the real thing....$525....sticker shock...monthly skin care expenses: $1,000 a month ? I need to find a second job to afford my $1,000 a month facial cream and that'll surely make me age faster...and the choice to spend so much money on skincare instead of for a more ethical purpose may make me feel lousy, too. So all things considered, thank you fo rthe sample- I will frame it and dust it off regularly.
