The scent of La Prairie Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion is nothing unusual as it is a delicate slightly powdery floral scent just like their other Platinum Rare products. The scent by itself doesn't come as off-putting or cheap, but I still find it a bit on the mature side and those with sensitive skin may not like the scent as much.
Consistency
La Prairie Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion has a runny lightweight consistency, which surprised me as I initially expected it to be a bit more dense.
Nevertheless, it absorbs into skin very fast and leaves skin silky smooth with a very subtle minor light reflective glow as it contains tiny little illuminating particles.
There isn't much glow or instant quenching feel to skin, so most people will need to follow with further skin care steps unless one has very oily skin.
Benefits
Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion is the first step in a new beginning for skin. An unparalleled formulation drawn from the source of life that regenerates to rejuvenate.
The origin of rejuvenation begins with skin that is full of life. Skin that is detoxified, renewed – reset – is better able to effectively fulfill its functions for ultimate rejuvenation.
- Promotes optimum skin function by enhancing three key skin detoxification mechanisms.
- Protects skin with a rich fusion of antioxidants.
- Skin texture is refined, fine lines and wrinkles appear smoothed, elasticity is improved.
- Skin is left with a feeling of supreme comfort.
- Skin is conditioned, ready for the next step of the skincare ritual.
Technology
Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion is a complete essence-in-lotion, helping to boost skin renewal from within by supporting three key detoxification processes. First, it enhances the skin’s ability to break down the damaged proteins that impede its function. Second, it improves the skin’s energy production system. Finally, it helps the skin to fight external stress factors.
Application
Apply AM and PM after cleansing and toning. Dispense a small amount into the palm of the hand. Gently press hands together, diffusing the essence-in-lotion over both palms before gently patting onto face. Massage into forehead, cheeks, chin and décolleté, allowing it to absorb completely and avoiding eye area. In the morning, follow with Platinum Rare Cellular Serum and Platinum Rare Cellular Cream. In the evening, follow with Platinum Rare Cellular Night Elixir and Platinum Rare Cellular Cream.
Verdict
La Prairie Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion comes with a magnetic closure cap just like their Platinum Rare Cellular Night Elixir, which I personally find it very convenient as I can ensure that the cap is air tightly closed.
Having said that, my factory sealed Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion had leaked inside the package when I first opened it, and you can still see the leaked parts through plastic layers..🤔 Trust me, I wasn't happy at all.
In terms of the overall results that you can expect from the lotion, I would say that it can really vary depending on what kind of products you use after the lotion application. It certainly seems to help with skin turnover cycle and works well with my other anti-aging skincare products.
However, I have been already using enough products that I haven't experienced that OMG Wow effect even after replacing them with La Prairie Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion. I personally find their Platinum Rare Cellular Night Elixir to be more effective in terms of detoxification as you can really notice that through your eyes.
If they made Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion more hydrating like some of the other luxury skincare boosting lotions, then I may have given La Prairie more credit, but Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion feels to me that it's really just an accessory to my skincare regime. As you know, I value versitility when it comes to skincare products, and there isn't much room for more praise to give to Platinum Rare Cellular Life-Lotion (115mL) from my side unfortunately. However, if you could afford and wish to try, then you may do so as it still works in terms of fast skin regeneration and detoxification, it's just that it isn't something rare nowadays that you can't find on the current boosting essence trend. If you are in the crossroad between their Cellular Serum Platinum Rare and the lotion, then I would rather suggest you to grab the serum instead 😊.
