Double infuzed hyaluronic acid

There is one thing that links all skin types together, and that's hydration. Eudermine has released its most advanced essence yet, offering a massive boost in moisture to your skin.

The Eudermine Activating Essence

This lightweight, ultra-hydrating formula is the perfect way to restore and maintain a healthy moisture level in the skin. Inspired by traditional Japanese skincare routines, it helps reduce pores, blemishes, and dullness, leaving you with glowing skin. With its active skin care ingredients, the essence brightens and evens your complexion whilst softening your face.

What's inside?

The Eudermine Activating Essence has a rich formula full of powerful skincare ingredients:

• Two types of Hyaluronic Acid offers 24-hour hydration. Locking moisture into the skin using two different hyaluronic molecules allows your skin to restore moisture and gain a plumped smooth appearance.
• Vitamin C: This antioxidant is perfect for reducing dark spots. Day by day, your pigmentation fades to become an even skin tone.
• Prebiotic Fermented Kefir Extract: This active sets up the perfect conditions for your skin to naturally thrive. Promoting the skin's natural turnover cycle strengthens the barrier function. Also, over time, this will help improve skin texture and appearance.
• Lastly, Yuzu Extract: This natural wonder works hand in hand with hyaluronic acid to restore moisture. Yuzu is also great at brightening the skin!

Refill

Finished your bottle? Don't throw it away. At Shiseido, they believe in giving your containers multiple lives. The Eudermine Activating Essence is refillable. Therefore, this is the perfect option for those who wish to reduce their plastic consumption whilst staying glamorous.

How to keep your skin hydrated?

A well-hydrated skin is every person's dream, but sometimes it's the most minor steps that can get us there:

• Drink water: You may think, “Duh”, but internal hydration is a significant factor in healthy skin. As much as skincare products help prevent and restore hydration, consuming the correct amount of water is the fastest way to restore hydration.
• Sun protection: Protecting your skin from UV sun rays and overheating will prevent your skin from losing too much water. Our skin naturally evaporates water throughout the day. UV rays can cause severe damage to your skin, like unbalancing your skin's natural barrier or causing profound dehydration through sunburns.
• Lastly, Add a hydrating step to your skincare routine: This step will keep your skin feeling comfortable. Skincare gives your skin an immediate source of hydration, preventing it from draining the moisture levels in the skin.

My Experience

I recently tested the Eudermine Activating Essence to keep hydrated skin. Super lightweight and fast absorbing, I was surprised by the rapid results I got. I applied the essence twice daily using a cotton pad, and my skin would immediately feel awake. Over three weeks, my skin went from dull and irregular to a smoother, healthy look. This serum is ideal for those needing an extra kick of hydration. I paired the essence with the new Bio-Performance Skin Filler Serums (review here), which hugely boosted my results. Overall, this essence fits perfectly into any skin routine and smells divine!

Eudermine Lotion

Ideal for any climate, location, or season, this water-like texture has a deep history. Known as one of the traditional geisha favourites, it helps protect your skin under heavy makeup. Captured inside its awakening formula is Bio-Hyaluronic Acid. This traps moisture in the skin resulting in a firmer and smoother look.

The Benefits

• Fast-absorbing, this silky fluid offers immediate and long-lasting hydration.
• Boosts cell turnover skin renewal.
• Protects skin from environmental aggressors such as pollution, weather and light.
• Suitable for all skin types.
• Dermatologist-tested. Non-comedogenic.

What’s Inside

Bio-Hyaluronic Acid This highly resistant hyaluronic acid is ideal for humid countries. Intensely hydrating, it restores moisture in the deepest levels of your skin. TMG & Bio-Compatible Amino Acid Restores balance to the cell turnover process. When the skin renews itself at the correct speed, it is much brighter, tighter and clear.

My Experience

I am not a regular user of toners or essences in my skincare routine, but I was determined to know what all the buzz was about. I have been using the lotion for over two weeks, and my skin feels the best it has in a long time. And I apply the lotion using a cotton pad morning and evening before my serum and moisturizer. The lotion has a gentle action on the skin and immediately eases tight, uncomfortable skin. Suitable for all skin types, the essence restores your skin to its most efficient form.

I love to use this essence in the morning as its soft scent awakens the senses. My skin is much clearer since I have added this essence to my routine. The lotion helps calm redness and evens out the skin tone. I recommend this for those who regularly wear makeup and want to keep their skin looking bright. It makes your skin feel fresh and ready for the day without adding greasy layers or shine.

Another favourite from the brand is its newest launch, Bio-Performance Skin Filler Serums. The duo has changed how my skin looks and feels. Read about it here.

Vital essence is a face/ eye serum highly concentrated in hydrating plant-based actives (95% Natural). The serum pumps up the skin to create a smoother complexion. With a weightless texture, the serum bursts with gentle antioxidants and helps soothe redness and irritations. Acting as a daily moisture booster.

Why Use a Serum?

Using a serum can hugely improve your skincare routine and results. Having a high concentration in performing actives, a serum works hand in hand with the other products.

Using a serum with the same action as your cream can give quicker results. While using a serum with different actives can enable you to target multiple things simultaneously.

Inside you will find:

• Bio-Sodium Hyaluronate: Moisturizing and protecting.
• Bilberry Extract: Moisturizing and soothing properties.
• Honey Suckle Flowers and Cherry Leaves Extract: Antioxidant and soothing.
• Soybean Extract: Smooths and brightens skin.
• Olive Leaf Extract/Grape Seed Oil: Nourish skin.
• Aloe Vera: Moisturizing and soothing.

My Experience

I applied Chantecaille Vital Essence the morning and night before my anti-ageing cream. The soft, light texture of the serum penetrates quickly into the skin, leaving a smooth base for cream and makeup. The essence is suitable for every skin type as it offers good hydration for everyday use. It works well with other branded products and can be applied all over your face, including the eyes. The crystal clear bottle lets you admire the beauty of the formula. With a pump, the product stays clean and is easy to dose. A small amount of product is enough with this serum. After one week of use, my skin felt much more comfortable and looked clearer.

The true essence

This deeply moisturizing formula is enhanced with Vintner's daughter's top technologies: Phyto Radiance Infusion™ and Phyto Ferment™. (We will get to these later in this article)

This powerful aqua-based botanical mixture delivers 5 weeks of treatment for all skin types. It is a 100% natural ingredient product and the brand also donates 2% of the benefits to charity which I find amazing.

The endless power

Carefully selected, one by one the 30+ botanical ingredients work in harmony to deliver breathtaking results. From superfoods and ancient healing plants to balancing adaptogens. Another point marker is that the brand works with conscious growers around the world. The active complex deeply moisturizes as well as renews the skin.

From 100 to 1

Here comes the exciting part! The active treatment can replace a couple of products in your skincare routine with its rich and multi-talented complex formula. For example Your vitamin C serum, hyaluronic acid serum, antioxidant serum, micro-exfoliator, plant stem cell serum, etc. The list goes on. Also, this essence is great for active women who don't want to spend a long time on their skincare routine.

Complex talk

Over the 5 weeks, the skin is enhanced by these two complexes and here is how:

–Phyto Radiance Infusion™: This is a 21-day process which uses nutrient-rich, whole plants to gently infuse the skin with their powerful nourishing qualities. Using an aqueous base, the ingredients penetrate deeply into the skin giving a higher absorption and therefore, great result.

–Phyto Ferment™: Amplifying the previous action, this 14-day process facilitates nutrition absorption through enzymes for more resilient as well as healthy skin.

My Review

Overall, having completed the 5-week treatment, I am completely satisfied with the results. My skin is moisturized. I see a visibly healthy glowing, stronger skin. My skin looks smoother and clear, thanks to the exfoliating capability of the formula. Also, my skin feels comfortable, bright, and protected. The pigmentation and dark spots on my skin have reduced. Overall, I didn't expect a single product to make so much difference in the overall look and feel of my skin. I love following up with the Active Botanical Serum. Above all, the duo is perfect for radiant, supple, and beautiful skin.

Take time to sit back and observe water and its relation to light. We rarely notice nature's talent, but La Prairie researchers did.

The luminous dance on its surface is a spectacular sight to see Water not only reflects but also refracts light. Meaning that as light enters the water, the light is then bent and projected out. This is where La Prairie got their inspiration to create a brand new range of products.

The White Caviar Collection

La prairie has released a whole range of products that are sure to brighten your day.

The white caviar collection is dedicated to giving you healthy glowing skin. It's time to say goodbye to dull, tired-looking skin. This daily routine brings out your inner shine and smoothes out the skin for a flawless natural result. You will adore its gentle scent and light textures.

The Essence

Inspired by its homeland's nature (Switzerland), La Prairie worked hard to transform a natural phenomenon into a daily skincare product.

White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire is a daily face serum and the first skincare product to apply. It is a gel texture that slowly transforms into water as you apply it, suitable for all skin types.

To make our glowing dream come true they selected 3 unbeatable ingredients:

• “Lumidose”: Up to today, luminous is still classed as the best melanin inhibitor, the pigment responsible for dark spots. Leaving you with illuminated skin all day long.
• “Swiss golden caviar”: Star of the whole collection, it densifies the skin. Adding firmness to your skin and smoothes out any small lines.
• Lastly, “Swiss golden water”: Hydrates and plumps your skin. Promising you a refreshing feeling for every application.

The Packaging

As always the packaging of La Prairie's product is worked to perfection.

Its white, pure design reflects the action of the product. Along with its metallic touch, it is a true treasure to have in the bathroom. Also, its bottle contains 150ml of products, a good size for daily use of the lotion.

How To Use It

Use every morning and night on clean and dry skin. White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire is the first skincare product you use in your ritual. Leave the lotion to penetrate before completing your skincare routine. Next, apply your face cream avoiding the eye area.

You can follow the lotion with the white caviar serum and face cream for a visibly faster result.

Also note that to protect your skin from UV rays, you can apply sunscreen daily. Tap on the sunscreen to keep an even layer of product. Avoid the eye area.

From the White Caviar Range, I loved using La Prairie White Caviar Creme Extraordinaire and the White Caviar Illuminating Pearl Infusion.
