La Prairie’s new Life Matrix Haute Rejuvenation Cream—dubbed the ‘secret to eternal youth’—can now be experienced as an indulgent facial treatment at its flagship boutique at The Exchange TRX.
Stepping into the boutique, the sleek silver and platinum tones reflect the futuristic vision of La Prairie. In the private consultation area, a thorough skin analysis is conducted, allowing clients to discuss their preferences with a specialist. I am then guided to the facial cabin, which envelopes me in calm as natural soundscapes fill the space.
The specialist begins with the soothing application of a warm bag of cherry pits from Switzerland—a thoughtful touch that connects to the brand’s Swiss heritage—placed gently on the stomach to warm and relax the body. A calming foot massage follows, before the specialist moves on to gently knead the knots along my neck and shoulders, releasing any built-up tension.
The treatment then progresses to the essential skincare ritual, the highlight of the experience. Throughout the 90-minute skincare ceremony, each step is expertly performed, beginning with a purifying cleanse and exfoliation. Precision massage techniques are used to stimulate circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, leaving the skin firmer and more lifted. This experience is so deeply relaxing that it delivers the same sense of satisfaction as a fulfilling body massage.
The facial is paired with La Prairie’s Platinum Rare Collection, renowned for combating visible effects of ageing thanks to its scientifically advanced formulation of Platinum Multi-Peptide. Meanwhile, the Life Matrix Haute Rejuvenation Cream works to extend the essence of youth by addressing its very foundation—the skin’s matrix at its cellular core. Together, they smooth out fine lines, enhance my skin’s elasticity, rejuvenate my complexion, and leaves it noticeably brighter. This dual-action approach reverses and repairs from within, ensuring optimal results.
The facial cabin is also equipped with premium hair and La Prairie makeup products for a touch-up after completing the skincare ceremony. Set with a refreshed glow, guests can carry on with their day in style.
“The Life Matrix collection represents La Prairie’s most ambitious innovation in cellular science to date, as it’s a collaboration with the Clinique La Prairie,” says Cheryn Ho, General Manager of LUXASIA, Asia Pacific’s largest retailer in beauty and luxury. Although the Life Matrix Haute Rejuvenation Cream currently stands as the sole offering in the collection, there’s more to anticipate, with future additions that will further enhance these luxurious facial treatments.
“We look forward to unveiling new formulations that further deepen our commitment to anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation just like how the Life Matrix does,” Ho says. “This collection will continue to set new standards in skincare, uniting science and artistry in ways that only La Prairie can.”
