9 Most Expensive Skin Care Creams
These luxe face moisturizers make Creme de La Mer look like a bargain
Chanel Precision Sublimage Serum Essential Regenerating Cream, $375
Key ingredient: Planifolia PFAAt $220 per ounce, Chanel's most expensive cream contains Planifolia PFA, "an ultra-pure, ultra-powerful ingredient created through an exclusive purification technique developed by Chanel." Huh? Let us clarify. That ultra-powerful ingredient, "unique plant" and "potent fruit" is vanilla, from the antioxidant-rich Vanilla Planifolia orchid "unearthed from the farthest reaches of Madagascar" (otherwise known as vanilla's primary growing region). According to Chanel, 231.5 pounds of Vanilla Planifolia are needed to produce 35.2 ounces of Planifolia PFA (which is about 11 pounds of orchid per individual pot.)
