La Prairie Produce Overpriced £1,550 Life Matrix Cream .

 

La Praire is known for its extremely expensive skincare products.  Indeed, it's fair to say the brand is somewhat of a Veblen good.  A consumer good the desirability of which increases with the cost, and indeed which is perceived as more valuable based on said price increase. 

We get it.  Switzerland is a country known for ultra high-end specialist goods.  Fine watches, exquisitely well engineered machine parts, private banking, the privatest of private schools.  When "Swiss made" is inserted into the conversation in respect of a product, it's expected that it will be superior, and deserving of astronomical prices.

However, that comes with an expectation, of the quality of the product matching the price, and it's a sad thing to say, but the new life matrix face cream has a lot of bad in respect of the ingredients listed.  There are only 16 active ingredients, in concentrations that make the price not merely high, but unreasonable.

However, credit where credit is due, the ingredients are an excellent cocktail, of glycoproteins, ginseng, and colloidal platinum, amino acids, minerals and saccharides.  There's no question that a combination of ingredients like this is a very good anti ageing mix.  However, at the price, and quantity, it cannot be recommended.  As there are several brands offering the same mix at a tenth of the price.  However, if you have more money than sense, this may be for you.
