Project Precious: Complete

The moment every Park Avenue princess has been waiting for has finally arrived. The highly anticipated Essence from Crème de la Mer has hit counters at Bergdorf’s and has already drawn up an extensive waiting list. The $2,650 face cream is an intense three week treatment designed to be applied beneath the Crème de la Mer face cream and promises to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The product is comprised mostly of fermented algae, a derivative of the narcissus bulb, rosemary, vitamin C and soy and has been in the works for several years and kept highly confidential. It has even been given the name “Project Precious” from the folks at Estee Lauder, the parent company of La Mer products.

For such a hefty price tag and only one and a half ounces of The Essence, it better take your mind and your skin back to its infancy. At the risk of sounding opinionated — a stance I take most of the time — I would have to be highly convinced that this product would give me better results than an intense facial, medical grade microdermabrasion or cold light therapy. Advances in skin care technology have come a long way, but for the price of a semester of college at a state school, or the opportunity to do some good with that kind of money, I’ll take a fine line or visible pore anyday.
