TIA Review by Marta:
La Vie Celeste Extra Rich Face Cream with R-Lipoic Acid, Chronoline and Apple Stem Cells is not only gorgeous to use (luxurious without being overly unctuous), but it functions well by moisturizing and hydrating without feeling heavy or pore congesting. Personally, I think that this cream will please a broad spectrum of folks - those like me who are a bit cautious of anything too rich and those like a friend of mine who probably wouldn’t even balk at putting something the texture of cream cheese on her face.

I used it as an above-serum moisturizer, on its own on my neck and hands and as a night cream. Because my skin is slightly oily, I might not use this every day in the warmer months. But in dry climates or for a parched skin, Extra Rich could become indispensable.

Like other La Vie Celeste products, the ingredients in their Extra Rich Face Cream are natural and organic. The star of the show is caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3, the commercial name is ChroNoline. It is thanks to ChroNoline that this cream is one of the few I can really recommend to help against sagging skin.

Caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 is derived from a growth factor, namely TGF-B and stimulates production of laminin 5 (as well as collagen VII). Tetrapeptide-3 is also supposed to be pretty good at beefing up fibronectin (by 60% apparently). Fibronectin funtions in ways that are similar to laminins, which are important anti-saggers. It also plays a crucial in wound healing and was established in the early 80s that it is critical to healthy skin.

I love that baobab seed oil is here. The baobab is one of my favorite trees. It looks as if it is growing upside down, with its roots in the air and in its native Africa is the subject of many myths. It is a powerful antioxidant.

La Vie Celeste has given this cream some anti-aging umph with apple stem cells. And as with the eye cream and La Vie Celeste's much lighter day/night cream, there is spirulina, a powerfully antioxidant algae with omegas, amino acids and a boatload of vitamin B. In addition, there's an abundance of botanical antioxidants such as marigold and pomegranate. Finally, no La Vie Celeste product would be without r-lipioc acid, an antioxidant that helps overcome vitamin C and E deficiencies.

Our Take...

I am always being asked for a recommendation for a rich face cream and beyond April Rain and SenZen’s Infinity (which, frustratingly, isn’t available again until later in the summer), I don’t have much of an answer. The problem is that I just haven’t come across many good rich... Read Full Article

  • 5 stars 4 out of 5

    Despite the fact that I had to return this product I still have to give it 4 stars. It has such a dreamy texture: rich moisturizing properties but with no heavy feel! It goes on like a dream and has a fabulous light, slightly-floral smell. Unfortunately it seems I was slightly allergic to something in it and ended up with red itchy patches, which kind of broke my heart because usage-wise this was my favorite LCV product. However, when I contacted LCV about the reaction (wasn't sure what was causing it at the time) they were extremely helpful, and I was speaking to the owner of the company herself. They extended the return period for me so I could adequately figure out which product was causing the reaction and are giving me a full refund though I've used about half the jar.

    This is probably my favorite night cream. It smells delicious and feels heavenly. I like that my skin has a lovely glow after applying. I especially appreciate the organic ingredients used. My only problem (and it's a personal thing!) is dealing with the "growth factor" aspect. I know it's the ChroNoline that helps with the sagging - which is a major reason why I need this cream - so it's a dilemma for me!

    I think after using this for over a month that there is some improvement in my facial tone and complexion, but I can't use it alone, or my skin is too dry. I have to use another facial cream underneath first. It also has a slight smell which I have gotten used to. I have been using it day and night and am almost out of it, so a jar lasts about 5 weeks or so. I was just hoping that it would be enough on its own, so I am disappointed because I didn't really want to use yet another cream underneath. I can accept that using it day and night means it won't last as long, but I do need more than just a little bit to feel hydrated and that after using a cream underneath and waiting a minute for it to sink it before applying this one. Therefore, although I think it's a good product, I would like more hydration.

  • I decided to try this because I wanted to switch over to a product without all the nasties that Philosophy hope in a jar has even though i really like it because i feel it works.So after several months ive used it all up and now its time to review.Im 23 and my skin is good but i have dry patches.I like the consistency,it felt very luxurious and i felt like i was pampering myself every time i used it.It did moisturize my skin but not as much as my philosophy moisturizer.I dont know why that is and i wanted it to work like the previous reviewers had mentioned but it just didnt moisturize enough for me to want to pay $75 again.Im currently trying kahina argan oil as recommended by martha and am loving it

    After reading the article about Annette B. I decided to try La Vie Celeste. My 50 year old skin is aging with some fine lines and wrinkles. I have always practiced skin care.

    The cream goes on so smoothly, it seems to airbrush the skin. My face/neck looks and feels softer. I use it at night but also in the morning, applying sunscreen about ten minutes afterwards. The fact that the moisturizes actually soaks into the skin so I can use sunscreen before applying makeup is very important to me.

    Love this product,

    my face was desert dry + flaking all over before i purchased this. after using it for a few weeks, i noticed my dry skin has disappeared. a little goes a long way. like the la vie cleanser, this cream tingles when initially applied to the face, but i think that's the ingredients that are used for skin renewal at work. my cheeks are recently flushed, so i am curious to see how my body resolves that.

    overall, my face looks softer (maybe wrinkles softening?), and it feels softer. i highly recommend.

  • 5 stars 3 out of 5

    I’ve been using this for quite some time. I can’t stand anything that I put on my face and start to sweat because it’s laying on my skin rather than being absorbed. This doesn’t do that. It’s a total winner in my estimation. I wouldn’t need it in hot humid weather, then again I usually just stay indoors with the AC blasting- but I used it all winter long and look forward to the tweaked version. I like when a company only adds to an already successful product, and leave the basic in tact. Bravo.

    So anybody seen any plumpness or experienced any lift with this product? And is it ok for someone in late 30's? Thank you.

    The more I see of babobab, the more I think it is going to be the new argan oil (only much, much better). The tree itself is amazing, you can chop it down and it will start growing again even in the dryest, most parched earth. I'd love to see baobab stem cells compared to apple.

    Hi Valerie: Yes, the extra rich on our website is the same that is here on TIA. Our webperson has been having some technical difficulties regarding uploading the revised ingredient listing. It should be corrected soon. Very best, Teri, La Vie Celeste
