“Key Benefits A rich moisturiser that supports healthier-looking skin.Delivers anti-ageing, firming and toning benefits.Uses the brand’s caviar activities to promote a lifted look.Hydrating skincare that works to tone the complexion.Formula is free from microplastics”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
alcaligenes polysaccharides, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np
Anti-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Key Benefits A rich moisturiser that supports healthier-looking skin.Delivers anti-ageing, firming and toning benefits.Uses the brand’s caviar activities to promote a lifted look.Hydrating skincare that works to tone the complexion.Formula is free from microplastics”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "La Praire - SKIN CAVIAR LUXE CREAM" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. La Praire - SKIN CAVIAR LUXE CREAM ticks this box. Humectants in this product (alcaligenes polysaccharides, glycerin, lactobacillus ferment, saccharomyces cerevisiae extract and sodium hyaluronate) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, alcaligenes polysaccharides, helianthus annuus seed wax, butyrospermum parkii butter and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.25% - 0.45%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
Irritation risk
There are quite a few common irritants in this product, including ingredients without particular skin benefits. We would not recommend it for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
