Meinst du ernsthaft, dass alles, was richtig teuer ist, auch richtig gut sein muss? Schließlich macht La Prairie die Preise und versteigert nicht etwa meistbietend...
Zu der von dir genannten Creme schreibt Paula:
Advanced Marine Biology Cream has a name that sounds more like a college course than a moisturizer! The big to-do with this product is about the marine proteins, which are meant to protect skin from age-accelerating free radicals. But the amount of antioxidants in this product isnt as impressive as it should be for the price, and its utterly discouraging when you consider that the jar packaging wont keep them stable once this product is in use. Far from being advanced, this moisturizer for normal to slightly dry skin stops at grade school; only its claims are at the Ph.D. level.
Zu La Prairie im allgemeinen meint sie:
a Prairie has been at the forefront in the introduction of expensive anti-aging products for more than three decades. Many of the products in this originally Swiss skin-care line are called cellular treatment. After a while, it all starts sounding silly. The attempt to align these products with the concept of being able to affect skin at the cellular level is over the top, although when it comes to making the ordinary sound extraordinary, La Prairie excels.
Assuming your skin could improve with these products, the prices alone might cause premature aging! So what do the women who can safely afford these products get for their money? The prestige of knowing they can afford them, period. High-priced skin-care lines attract women who think that the dollars they spend will buy them something special that most other women cant afford. To some extent, theyre right: most women cant afford these products. Yet anyone who reads and understands the ingredient lists would find that price doesnt reliably translate into having better skin. What youre really getting from this line is a barrage of look-younger-now claims not backed up by one shred of substantiated scientific evidence, and a group of unimpressive formulations.
A particularly egregious error appears in the number of La Prairie moisturizers (and my goodness, does this company love moisturizers!) that arrive in jar packaging. La Prairie is in-the-know about the importance of antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients for skin, yet almost all of their products that contain such ingredients ignore their vulnerability to oxidation. Containers like these ensure that these products will deteriorate shortly after you begin using them. Considering the premium prices, that is an almost unforgivable offense. At least the company gets their facial sunscreen right by including sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. However, its interesting to find that a visit to the La Prairie counter involves a lot more discussion about their moisturizers, ampoules, and other treatment products, while all the time you know that the only reliable antiwrinkle product everyone needs to use is sunscreen.
