What happened to good old-fashioned eye cream? Technology happened.

BeautyStat: What is the importance of an eye serum/treatment?
DS: The area around our eyes is among the most delicate skin on our face. Using an eye cream and serum can help eliminate signs of aging and often are formulated to work in synergy with one another. Like a facial serum, an eye serum is going to set the stage for more effective results with any product you layer over it. It’s also formulated with more targeted ingredients that are delivered to the depths
BeautyStat: Can you wear it alone or under eye cream?
DS: The Cellular Eye Essence Platinum Rare can be worn alone, however, we do recommend layering it. Cellular Eye Essence Platinum Rare offers amplified results when layered underneath Cellular Eye Cream Platinum Rare – or your eye cream of choice. We developed the products Cellular Eye Cream Platinum Rare and Cellular Eye Essence Platinum Rare> to work synergistically with one another for maximum benefits.
BeautyStat: What makes the new eye essence from La Prairie so special/different from the rest?
DS: The main breakthrough in the Cellular Eye Essence Platinum Rare is a powerful Platinum Peptide – an optimized compound based on platinum particles combined with an age-fighting Tetrapeptide. What’s extraordinary is that through this binding of Platinum with the peptides, this newly formed Platinum Peptide is protected from peptide-destroying enzymes that are naturally occurring in the skin. Therefore, allowing it to work more effectively and longer. This Platinum Peptide helps enhance firmness, reduce wrinkles in the eye area and improve skin elasticity and hydration. It’s worth noting that it targets specific challenges more intensely with benefits derived from technology not available until now.
