La Therapie Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The La Therapie skin care line is primarily based on the use of unbuffered glycolic acid skin resurfacing, patented antioxidants, and Pycnogeol to help "shape" skin cells until they are "perfectly formed." The company focuses a lot of its research and marketing efforts on its spa treatments. La Therapie claims to offer pharmaceutical and medical grade quality products. La Therapie states that their product’s efforts are focused primarily on skin lifting, anti-aging, deep cleansing, hyper pigmentation, acne, sun damage and scarring. La Therapie claims to provide immediate results. Some of La Therapie’s skin care products include Revitalizing Cleansing mask, Gentle Toning Lotion, Exfoliating Facial Polish and Crème Hydralift.

Product Detail

La Therapie’s Crème Hydralift claims to hydrate mature skin and delay the effects of gravity by supporting cellular renewal. This product also contains caviar. However, there is no scientific data that indicates how the caviar used in skin care products actually serves any benefit. Additionally, there is some doubt as to whether there is realistically enough caviar in many of the skin care products that heavily advertise it as an active ingredient to support cellular renewal. This product, however, does contain collagen, which offers topical support for skin elasticity. However, it would be more beneficial to the consumer if the product also contained a collagen producing agent so as to maximize the anti-aging effects. Increased elasticity will diminish wrinkles and increase overall skin firmness. While this product does offer some skin benefits we have doubts as to whether this product is one of the better anti-aging products on the market.

The Good

  • The products are designed to synergistically work with on-site La Therapie spa treatments as well as to “bring the spa experience to the home.”
  • The website offers a “coming soon” link to registration that will allow users to receive email updates regarding La Therapie’s products and services.
  • The La Therapie website offers a detailed description of glycolic acid and the various anti-oxidants included within the products.
  • The website offers a link to recent La Therapie press releases.
  • The website provides a detailed description of all its spa treatments.

The Bad

  • The products are not available for purchase on the La Therapie website. Customers are directed to outside websites and 1-800 numbers to place their order.
  • The La Therapie website does not include a list of all the ingredients included in the La Therapie product line.
  • Free samples of the product are not available via the La Therapie website.
  • Minimal product usage instructions.
  • Does not contain an ingredient to stimulate the production of collagen.
  • Benefits of the caviar as an active ingredient are questionable, and this ingredient can be quite expensive.

Product Summary

La Therapie appears to be a good resource for various spa services. Unfortunately, the prices and the exact locations where these services are available are not listed on the website. While this product’s inclusion of glycolic acid looks solid, their emphasis on caviar as an active ingredient gives us pause, since there is little if any conclusive evidence of caviar’s effects as a topical skin treatment. We'd probably pick a topical cream with an advanced, heavily researched active ingredients instead..

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people.

The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves.
