About La Prairie

La Prairie's story began at Clinique La Prairie, which opened in 1931 in Montreux, on the shores of Switzerland's Lac Léman. The La Prairie skincare brand was founded in 1978, and its Exclusive Cellular Complex received its first patent in 1998.

In 1987 La Prairie introduced Skin Caviar, which the brand describes as the first encapsulated delivery system to contain active ingredients sourced from real caviar. The Swiss house has been part of Beiersdorf since 1991, and its collections include Skin Caviar, Platinum Rare, White Caviar and Pure Gold.

A simple routine. After cleansing, Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion, then Skin Caviar Liquid Lift, then eye care (Skin Caviar Eye Lift before Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream), then Skin Caviar Luxe Cream for dry to very dry skin or Luxe Cream Sheer for normal to dry skin. In the morning, finish with Cellular Swiss UV Protection Veil.
