It’s a new chapter for La Prairie in its Science of Light as it plays with the defining element of the eye’s architecture. By Tania Zainudin.
umidose is a breakthrough illuminating molecule that intensely targets grey, brown, yellow, red, and violet chromatic disturbances that can gradually dull the skin’s natural radiance, and boosts the reflection of light from the skin. nspired by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier’s remarks on light and shape, the scientists at La Prairie sought to explore how luminosity gives way to shape and vice versa. Its extensive research eventually led to the creation of the White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire, targeting three-dimensional contours of the eye area. olden Caviar Extract sits at the core of the rich eye cream to greatly increase collagen production and redensify the dermal extracellular matrix network. The unctuous formula further refines the eye’s shape and reveals extraordinary radiance in the eye area. igh-polished silver cap opens like a jewel box to reveal an integrated, light-reflecting mirror for a sleek finish. The innovative inverted button that functions as an airless pump is designed to preserve the illuminating properties of its prized ingredient, the Lumidose. aking technology to a whole new level, La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex uses cutting-edge biotechnological research to give new life and energy back to your skin cells.
