Want to know if a product really works? Welcome to Slow Beauty. Since it can take up to six weeks to see results from using a new formula, we have testers try the best and buzziest in hair and skin care for double that amount of time to determine what actually makes a difference.
Confession: Even as a seasoned beauty editor, I have never used an eye cream in my life. So, when ELLE asked me if I wanted to test La Prairie’s new Skin Caviar Eye Lift Serum for three months, I was on board right away—no convincing necessary. (What can I say? It’s about damn time.) If I’m being honest, my eye area is currently one of my biggest concerns; I’m quite self-conscious about it. As I’ve gotten older, my dark circles have gotten darker, often making me look tired even when I’m not. And lately, I’ve noticed that tiny crinkles have started to appear in the corners of my eyes and my heavy lids have gotten droopier. The horror! Needless to say, I am the perfect candidate to test out this eye treatment, and was excited to get started.
Final Thoughts
I really enjoyed using La Prairie’s Skin Caviar Eye Lift Serum. Not only was the experience luxe (who wouldn’t feel extra fancy and relish incorporating a sensual silky serum made from caviar extracts into their skin care routine, morning and night?)—the decadent eye serum actually works. It’s often said that your eyes are the first thing people notice. After three months of use, I can attest that my orbital area looks noticeably brighter, less wrinkled, and all around more joyful. Even my derm has remarked on the difference.
And while $570 is admittedly a lot to spend on an eye cream, after 12 weeks of use, I still hadn’t finished the bottle; in fact, I still had about a third of it left, which should last me another five weeks. That said, the cost per use isn’t really that bad when you break it down. Plus, isn’t it worth it if it does what it’s meant to do? Your eyes—and you—deserve the best, after all.
