La Prairie Launches $1,000 Moisturizer, Won't Advertise

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

La Prairie, the luxe skincare company that's made addicts of many a wrinkle-averse lady who lunches, has introduced its latest jar of alchemy-promising cream: Cellular Cream Platinum Rare, which retails for $1,000. The cream purportedly adjusts to heat and humidity to maintain perfect moisture levels and will fight aging harder than Muhammad Ali.

The brand is relying on word of mouth instead of traditional advertising to inspire purchase, a marketing ploy which may backfire among those who are loathe to disclose such an extravagance amidst the economic crisis.

Available at all the usual suspects (Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman's, Saks, Holt Renfrew) or at laprairie.com.

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

The Evolution Surf Travel Set includes three different skin treatments that are supposed to help combat the damage that sun exposure does to the skin. Their "intense healing" is intended to benefit even skin that has been overexposed to sun, sea and sand - as it is for many surfers, hence the name. The set includes: Exfoliating Bamboo Microdermabrasion Scrub (1.7 oz.), Smoothing Glycolic Coconut Crème (1.7 oz.) and Healing Day & Night Nourishing Crème (1.7 oz.). We're sure that they don't recommend trying to damage your skin in the sun while using the products, but if they really work, it's a good excuse to go to the beach a bit more often. Price: $440.
