When the sun's rays sweep across the Swiss mountain faces, it is a moment when beauty imposes itself – undeniable. It is an instant that emits an understated resplendence – a radiance like no other. Fleeting, it is the hour when beauty is elevated to grace – the grace of the golden hour in the crown of the Alps. 

Inspired by this fleeting moment, La Prairie seeks to recreate its unique radiance and impart it to the skin, imbuing it with resplendence, as if lit from within. One rare, immutable ingredient can transmit this undeniable beauty: gold. A noble metal, its warm, flattering lustre withstands the passage of time, remaining, persisting. It bestows its radiance in glowing waves.

This rich, luxurious moisturiser ignites the complexion with the radiance of pure gold, returning a glow to the skin that time has extinguished. This cream, infused with the Pure Gold Diffusion System, provides nutrients, smooths the skin, evens its texture, comforts and deeply hydrates.

Thanks to its unique properties, gold as a radiance enhancer and vehicle for powerful active ingredients is particularly well-suited to devitalised skin – skin that is fragile, thin, dry and dull, deficient in nutrients. Both environmental conditions and physiological changes can contribute to skin’s fragile state. When skin is devitalised, it becomes less receptive to nutrients, leading to a slowing down of renewal processes. For skin to function more efficiently, it needs to be constantly exposed to active ingredients. To address this particularity of devitalised skin, La Prairie has developed a new Pure Gold Science Platform, designed to provide sustained delivery of two key replenishing active ingredients to compensate for the loss of receptiveness of the skin. The Pure Gold Diffusion System delivers a three-peak action sequence to the skin. First comes the immediate deposition of gold on the skin’s surface to offer instant radiance. An intense infusion of replenishing active ingredients follows. Finally, a steady release of the same replenishing active ingredients linked to gold particles deposited on the skin’s surface completes the sequence.
