La PrairieSwiss Pristine Essence, 130ml

La Prairie’s first barrier-repairing essence. The activating first step to restore balance and prime the skin barrier for stronger, more receptive skin, helping reset the skin’s equilibrium for stronger, more resilient skin.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Skin feels immediately soothed, balanced, and primed, with a smoother texture. With continued use, the barrier is strengthened, hydration stabilised, pores appear refined, tone looks more even, and overall resilience is enhanced.

Powered by La Prairie’s Exclusive Cellular Complex™, Hypower LP52™, and Swiss Glacial Minerals, it helps rebalance and restore the skin barrier while priming and preparing the skin for better absorption of the subsequent routine.

A watery, revitalising essence inspired by the purity of Swiss glaciers, with a featherlight texture that absorbs instantly into the skin.

An object of art, defined by its one-of-a-kind expression. This repairing face essence is housed in a decorated glass bottle, using a technique that creates a naturally formed crackle, making each piece unique. Inspired by the dynamic movements that shape Swiss glaciers over time, every decoration is one of a kind. The bottle is finished with a polished silver cap.
