Bright Wonders

I recently had lunch with the ladies from La Prairie Philippines in Greenbelt 5, and got to meet La Prairie International Trainer Charlotte Turner.  Here I am with Kim Reyes-Palanca of Mega, Ms. Turner, and Rorie Carlos-Manzano of Town & Country:

From La Prairie’s famed Caviar Collection that works on helping revive skin firmness and elasticity comes an enlightened breakthrough called White Caviar Illuminating System. This new system has a rich mix of ingredients such as Omega-3 fatty acids, rare White Honey, White Truffles, White Wine extract, White Tea Complex, and precious Golden Imperial Caviar Extracts, that help in lightening and lifting tired skin.

The difference between the two? " White Caviar is a high powered combination of brightening, whitening and tightening the skin.  It addresses the anti-aging issue of firming and lifting in combination with uneven skin tone and pigmentation. The classic Cellular skincare is concerned primarily with energising the skin on a cellular level with the effect of moisturising, energising and nourishing the skin to leave it smoother, firmer and better hydrated," explains Turner.

Despite being developed in Switzerland, its cream is surprisingly lightweight with its water-in-oil powder emulsion. This technology makes it possible for the ingredients to be activated only when the cream is applied onto the skin. Even better is that it gives your skin a layer of velvety finish. The eye serum works on brightening and improving the circulation around the eye area; while the concentrated serum has Diolic Acid, Vitamin C, and Oligopeptide-34 ingredients that combat pigmentation in all stages.

Turner shares, “The serum is the most intensive whitening treatment as it is the fastest acting and the most deeply penetrating. However, it is most common that customers enter a range through using the moisturiser because it is such an essential product to maintain healthy skin. It really is up to the customer and their current replenishment needs. The best way to approach this range is to maximise the amount of products that deliver the whitening ingredients to the skin as the more whitening power you give it, the more quickly it will respond and the better the long term results.”

A trio of complementary products that comprises of a cream and two serums, it’s an advancement of the brand’s caviar collection that also combats skin aging problems such as uneven pigmentation and age spots.
