This is AMAIZING product. My skin is combo easy break out always some spot on my face…It was recommended to me from after I have my babe because my skin was looking really tired so I try it despite the $$$ which is madness .After I see he results which everybody defiantly notice I was never sorry…my skin look super recover ,soft ,smoother. NOW I use it 1 or 2 times x year and I am will keep doing it because you really can see after 28 days what they did to you skin!!!!

I bought this because I loved the packaging and concept.I too felt like a scientish mixing the little ampoules,That part was fun.However what does it do? I saw no differance at all!! I could have splashed water on my face for the same results.I was very disapointed and shocked because la Prairie is usually so reliable.The price of this is over the top! Buy something else,Donate the $300 plus to a Hurrican Katrina fund!!That would feel much more luxe!!

I just used this product last night and I can tell that it really is working. My face is so soft and my face is glowing. The only drawback is the price, but I will buy again.

I had sort of high hopes after reading the rave reviews on this site. Well I used them and noticed nothing. No change. I had fun mixing the ampules and applying them to my face but I didn't noice a fantastic glow or improvement in my skin. At least it didn't cause me to breakout or anything but I feel like it was a complete waste of money. Why not just do a weekly at home lactic acid peel that gives real results?
I learned my lesson.

The lady at the LP salon uses those on my skin when i have a facial and I have to say that they make my skin glow. I leave the salon with no make up on and I don't look "sick" or pale, like i normally do when i have a facial somewhere else . I m very impressed with those . I love most LP products though. They have done wonders for my skin .

WOW. I use this 4X a year -with every change of season and it really prepares my face for the changes in temp. Even in the summer these serums strengthen the skin -so I'd imagine they help skin resist sun damage. They totally exfoliate and smooth out the complexion -great pick-me-up if your skin looks dull and tired. Restores radiance and actually normalizes skin. -Good buy even if you have to purchase often it's worth the price

Holy Cow - these are spectacular! They took ‘years’ off my face. The results are hard to describe: it’s not a miracle cure, your problems will not vanish but…they’re like a super dose of energy/vitamins for the skin, which I suppose will ultimately improve everything about it. I did the full cycle - every 4 days for 28 days and my skin became so soft and supple, like baby's skin. My skin looked SO INCREDIBLY HEALTHY and the softness was ASTONISHING from the morning after the first ampoule. It’s like a super healing serum and whatever was present was dramatically improved – fine lines, dryness, rough texture, and large pores, scabs, scars. It’s not a aha/bha/glycolic/retinoid treatment, which is sort of what I expected – but it clearly says on the package that it isn’t:

Contains the highest percentage of our exclusive Cellular Complex/

Instantly revitalizes dull, dehydrated, tired-looking skin/

Energizing nutrients restore a healthier, more vibrant complexion/

Recommended usage, at least twice a year.

…But it acts like one, and it does exactly what it claims. I will do this again when I feel my skin doesn’t look radiant. I will also use Strawberrynet and save $100 because the packaging is completely tamper-resistant so I trust its preservation.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ok, after reading all the goods reviews of this product, i decided to give it a try. Cost around $500 Singapore Dollars. But to my disappointment, this product broke my skin out horribly. Thou i have combination to oily skin, i have not been suffering from acne problems for the past few years. But after using this, all the acnes kept coming out one after another. Think this product over stimulated the oil glands of my skin All the acnes were super huge and took a long time to heal. Sigh....i wish i have not applied this ampoule on my face, now i am suffering from being vain. I only use 3 ampoules so far and i have to pass the rest to my mother. So for those of you who are prone to breakout, please give a second thought before buying this. I believe this is good for those ppls with normal and drier skin type.

Was impressed with the retexturising booster and the LP sales assistant recommended me the cellular cycle ampoules and assured me that i would love it. and LOVE IT i do!!! i have only used one of the seven ampoules and it has put back at least three years to my tired skin. this is an amazing product and i can't wait to finish the entire box to see how different my skin would look. as am 28 going on 29 and asked if this mask is an overkill and if i should wait till i am older but she said that this will build the foundation for easier maintenance later in life. in addition, it is supposed to make all the other skincare perform more effective once the ampoules boost/restore my natural skin function. will report again after the entire box :)

ps. i gave a 4 for the packaging as i didn't know that i was supposed to screw in the plastic applicator until it is tight. so i spilled a little of the solvent into the toppart of the glass bottle receptacle. managed to get it back into the bottles somehow. just a word of caution...screw the plastic bottle until it is tight so that the tip penetrates the seal in the the glass bottle.

Saw this product a few times at Nordstrom's and Sak's. Decided to give it a try as I read Jazzie's review (great product). I was a bit nervous in trying, as I do have sensitive skin. And at $300, it isn't inexpensive product to try. The package contains 14 ampoules (you combine two ampoules one powder, and one liquid, for each application) which you use every 4th night for 28 days. You do this 2 times a year (or the SA said you could do it 1x a week or every other week if you want). All I can say is WOW!! When applying, it felt I was putting the most luxurious and soothing oils (though not oily) on my face. After messaging for 5 minutes, per the instructions, my face felt smoother, more vibrant, and alive. I wasn't red or itchy which is a major plus!! I applied my moisterizer (I used La Prairie's nurturing cream which is gentle and moisterizing) and went to bed. In the morning, I woke up to clearer, vibrant and glowy skin! Will continue with the treatment series, know I will go broke using this!! Probably, will purchase nextime from Strawberry.net to save $100.

These are wonderful! I have used them for the full cycle which is every 4 days for a period of 28 days. Let me say that my skin has drastically improved.
This comes in a set of 7 powder ampoules & 7 serum ampoules that you mix together, then apply to your face & throat in the evening, avoiding the eye area. You then follow with your regular p.m. routine.

My face tingled & peeled a little bit, but the flakes washed off in the morning to reveal a brighter, more even skintone. The flakes were nothing at all compared to what I endured with Obagi for 12wks.

If I could use this more often I would, but it is extremely intense & yes very expensive.

I purchased mine from Strawberry.Net & saved over $100.00cad from what it would have cost me at the LP counter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I will be using this 2x per year in the Spring & Fall as maintenance.
This is the minimal explanation that LP offers on their website:

*Contains the highest percentage of our exclusive Cellular Complex.
Instantly revitalizes dull, dehydrated, tired-looking skin.
Energizing nutrients restore a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
Recommended usage, at least twice a year.*

We have very dry winters & summers here which can take a toll on my skin & make it very dull. This has definitely made a huge improvement!
