The “jewel” cream that promotes cellular longevity

The search for the cellular longevity is leading the ultra-luxury cosmetic science that, in the face of new discoveries, is also redefining what is meant by luxury in the world of beauty.

Among the brands that fall into this category there is The Prairie. Its latest innovation, in fact, is a real gem that calling a cream would be an understatement. There are many reasons, the high price more similar to a medical or cosmetic surgery treatment than a cosmetic one, and the scientific studies that have led to the creation of a cutting-edge formula. And it is precisely this mix of expertise, technology and rare active ingredients, all in full respect of the environment and guaranteeing an exclusive treatment experience, that today contributes to defining a luxurious product.

For the new Life Matrix Haute Rejuvenation Creamprotagonist of the beauty cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair on newsstands, The Prairie has in fact allied itself with Clinique La Prairie, a Swiss clinic of excellence specialized in the science of longevity that offers prevention protocols, genetic and epigenetic tests among the most advanced in the world. Thus, this jewel enclosed in a minimalist aluminum jar with the shape of a diamond, is the result of scientific research, development and tests by La Prairie and that Clinique La Prairie, after having analyzed its benefits, has incorporated into its skin revitalization programs: Revitalisation and Revitalisation Premium.

Skin Longevity According to La Prairie

In the field of longevity science studies applied to the skin, the research of La Prairie scientists has focused on the concept of cellular information. As he explained Daniel Stangl, Director of Innovation at the Swiss cosmetics company: «We have discovered that the cause of reduced cellular function and therefore of aging is the insufficiency of cellular information and its use. Every cellular process or function is managed by this cellular information, which depends on the amount of information available, on the way in which cells use it, on the flow within the cells and between the cells themselves. This discovery provides a scientific framework that allows us to create skin care products that prolong the health and youth of the skin through the modulation of cellular information in the skin». What does the functioning of these information biomolecules depend on? «The configuration of biomolecules is unique to each human being, and presents specific conditions that can vary depending on different factors, such as genetic predisposition, lifestyle and age». With Life Matrix Haute Rejuvenation, La Prairie experts have designed a treatment that modulates the biomolecules of cellular information, bringing them back to their optimal functioning according to individual physiological needs, and consequently increasing the youthfulness of the skin. How is this possible? With a formula based on a particular cellular complex, extracts of peony roots and calendula flowers. As La Prairie explains, the formula has been subjected to two clinical tests. One evaluating the effect of the cream on some skin parameters such as structure, tone and elasticity, and the second on the information biomolecules within the skin, measuring their functioning before and after the treatment.

Understanding the cellular mechanisms related to aging has led cosmetics to talk about longevity treatments and no longer anti-aging or anti-wrinkle treatments, positioning the products in the very high range. The hoped for and promised result is always to improve the appearance of wrinkles, refine the skin texture and increase the production of collagen from within which in the long term makes it more compact.
