La Prairie Cellular Balancing Mask

Wow. I am an esthetician of 10 yrs, and was very IMPRESSED.

So, here's the scoop. I am very suspect of any department store (actually ANY) skincare products, esp a mask. They have to have stellar ingredients and they have to "proove" themsleves to me. However, I was given a sample of this at Saks in Charleston, SC, and thought I would give it a try, as my skin is behaving poorly right now. Probably due to my lack of regular facials! Wow wow wow! It was super-cool to whip up,(powder & liquid mixed in a bowl-- foams up making a generous portion for the face) but when I put it on my skin, it burned a bit like fire, and I thought, Oh, oh. The feeling actually reminded me of getting a strong peel at clinical skincare spa. Well, to my amazement, this morning I woke up and my skin looked fabulous. So soft & smooth. Seriously. It has looked rough lately with some dry patches and some breaking out on my forehead and - wow. So I am definitely going to buy it to have on hand (the clerk said it was intensive and the kind of mask you would only use every 3 months maybe.) I am also curious to try some more of the line. Hope this helps!
