There’s something to be said about luxurious skincare products from some of the most reputed global brands. While they may not be gentle on our pocketbooks, they certainly enhance and elevate our complexions to make us feel lavish and spoiled. So, whether you’re in search of that one little special something, or you just want to dream about drenching your skin in wealth, here are a few incredible luxe skin products we love. —Jennifer Cox
The Cream (ORCHIDÉE IMPÉRIALE) from Guerlain ($590) is an exceptional anti-aging product that practically erases fine lines and wrinkles for a more radiant, ageless glow. The formula comes from 15 years of research into orchids to obtain a molecular extract that helps to activate and even extend skin’s cell longevity. Now that’s worth every penny!
Givenchy’s Le Soin Noir Black And White Mask ($352, sold at Holt Renfrew) is considered by many to be a masterpiece in cosmetics. It not only combines vital and micro-algae, but it has both long and short-term benefits that you’ll see almost instantly. In fact, your complexion becomes clearer and more unified with every use. We also love the brush application – it feels like a sumptuous spa treatment each time you apply it.
The new Treatment Lotion from La Mer ($160) has got it all: it helps revitalize and protect your skin for instant results while offering longer-term safeguarding against aging and damage from free radicals. The formula is powered by cell-recharging “Miracle Broth,” which delivers a rush of liquid energy to jumpstart your skincare regimen. This is your essential first step after cleansing, and the results are always day-long hydration and firmer-feeling, younger-looking skin, even from the first use.
The Elixir Vitae from Tata Harper ($475) lives up to its name: it really is an elixir for life. Its recipe is a specially curated concoction of: 31 sources to minimize the look of severe wrinkles, four sources to volumize the look of skin, 11 sources of antioxidants, and 26 sources of plumping hydration. Together, they target severe lines and wrinkles while creating much more youthful plumpness to your skin.
Dr. Barbara Strum’s Super Anti-Aging Serum ($900) is an incredibly potent hydration and anti-aging cocktail that will work wonders on your skin. It is jam-packed with antioxidants and ingredients that reduce visible signs of dehydration, redness, age lines, and overall skin damage. As an added plus, hyaluronic acid molecules prove the ultimate in moisturizing, while anti-aging powerhouses such as purslane and skullcap work their magic so you can put your best (and youngest-looking) face forward.
Sulwhasoo’s heritage Concentrated Ginseng Renewing line is reformulated this year! Backed by 55 years of comprehensive ginseng research, the entire collection, including its Water, Emulsion, Ginseng Cream ($341) and Ampoule, is advancing with a new look and formula—but remains as luxe as always.
La Maison Valmont‘s revolutionary new collection embraces all things glow. The Luminosity range includes four luxe skincare products that act on texture and tone; our fave from the line is the LumiCream ($320), with triple DNA, ginseng to increase blood circulation and supply of nutrients to the epidermis and two forms of white mulberry root (ground and air) for an immediate, daily glow.
