Luxury skincare Brands such as La Mer and La Prairie are sought after for various reasons.

Some of these reasons are well founded and well addressed whilst others, maybe not so much.

One thing for certain, is that no single product or brand can fulfil everyone's ideal, no matter how expensive they are. 

Some of the most expensive products on the market today have been reported to cause allergic reactions or even start splitting within 6 months of purchase - others are reported to be highly effective, it all depends on the individual and their own experience - hence the importance in having a shelf with a variety of products for different concerns. 

In this article, we'll look at three skincare brands: La Mer and La Prairie and we'll introduce Kalōnology Responsible Skin Care as a scientifically proven (links below), 100% natural alternative which represents sincere value for money and a great commitment to reducing the beauty industry's problem with plastic bottle waste.

While La Mer's Crème de la Mer Moisturiser is known for its use of sea kelp, La Prairie uses natural caviar extract in their Skin Caviar line.

Kalōnology's Pro Age Marine skincare collection boasts modern, bioactive ingredients like Perfluorodecalin & Perfluorohexane (liquid oxygen) Laminaria & Porphyra algae extracts, L-Ergothioneine, Arctic Peptides, and Photolyase - all of which are proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, repair UV damage, optimising metabolism and promoting orderly cellular turnover.

Kalōnology's Advanced Vitamin C serum for example is a standout product in that it contains not one but three types of hydrators across the weight spectrum - offering a unique hydrating experience. Infused with powerful marine and botanical extracts, it is a highly effective skin tone brightener and non-irritating moisturiser. In addition to Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, it includes Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Vitamin E and Astaxanthin.

When it comes to luxury skincare, La Prairie is an established Swiss brand with a wide following, while La Mer has become infamous for its use of sea kelp and specific sounds/frequencies.

Kalōnology's Pro Age Marine skincare collection offers powerful ingredients - proven to provide maximum benefits for your skin in terms of reducing visual signs of extrinsic ageing factors and offering the ultimate hydrating experience.

Pro Age Marine Day Cream SPF 30 is a luxurious and effective face moisturiser that also provides comprehensive protection from harmful UV rays while nourishing and hydrating the skin.

This unique 4-in-1 formula is designed to defend against both UVA & UVB rays, dryness, inflammation, and premature extrinsic ageing factors, making it a must-have in any skincare routine.

The cream features natural ingredients like Micronised Titanium and Rhatany Root, which provide broad-spectrum protection against UV damage. Additionally, it contains bioactive antioxidants and marine botanical extracts that work together to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving the skin smooth, supple, and radiant.

Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, Kalōnology's Pro Age Marine Day Cream SPF 30 is the ideal daily moisturiser to promote youthful, healthy-looking skin.

Kalōnology's Advanced Skin Recovery Serum goes beyond regular serums and offers unique benefits. The liquid oxygen compounds in this serum optimise skin metabolism and accelerate skin renewal from deep within the dermis layers, leading to a more youthful and radiant appearance.

It contains powerful antioxidants, such as Astaxanthin, proven to be highly effective in recycling Vitamin C and protecting against oxidative stress on DNA.

The serum also includes Palmitoleic Acid extracted from Nannochloropsis Algae, delivering optimum levels of Omega 3 and 7 to repair cell membranes damaged by environmental and ageing factors.

The formula is potent, delivering noticeable results and is a must have for sports people or those working in harsh environmental conditions - including those who spend time in airconditioned offices exposed to blue light.

This serum only requires a very small application - a little goes a long way. 

Kalōnology's Pro Age Marine Collagen Boost Night Cream is a game-changer for those looking to improve their skin's appearance and health.

The product's unique combination of natural and potent ingredients are designed to maximise the benefits of collagen synthesis, cellular DNA repair, and antioxidant protection.

The cream is easy to use, and with just a small amount applied at night, you can wake up to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Whether you have youthful, mature or sensitive skin, this product is suitable for all skin types and can help to address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, and UV damage. 

Kalōnology's products come to you in advanced airless, refill cartridge packaging which means your next purchase from them would be more economical - and also there is no waste bottles which is better for our planet too. 

Kalōnology represents a 100% natural, ultra low carbon footprint, proven alternative and the collection is great value for money!
