The €300 Serum Test: What I Learned Using La Prairie for 90 Days
I spent 90 days testing La Prairie's Skin Caviar Liquid Lift alongside 4 other luxury serums at different price points.
Here's what most people get wrong about high-end skincare:
Price ≠ performance. A €300 serum can absolutely outperform a €30 one — but only if you understand why. The active concentration, delivery system, and how it interacts with the rest of your routine matters more than the brand name on the bottle.
The layering order changes everything. I saw a 40% improvement in hydration scores just by switching the order I applied the same products. Most people put their most expensive product on last — that's backwards.
Your night routine does 80% of the work. Your skin's repair cycle peaks between 11pm-2am. What you put on before bed is the highest-ROI decision in your entire routine.
Three things I'd tell anyone spending €100+ on skincare:
Learn ingredient interactions before buying anything else
Invest in technique — application method matters more than you think
Track your skin weekly — photos in the same lighting, same angle
I built The Glow Protocol to teach exactly this — the science and strategy behind luxury skincare that actually delivers results.
