Price points are anticipated to range from around 180 to 300 with an even more careful selection of outlets, in specialist beauty stores in North America. The timing is quite telling. More and more the powerful beauty brands are attempting to build the loyalty of younger consumers who seek the comfort of the luxe experience but can’t bear to part with tons of cash on one skincare purchase.
For La Prairie, the Swiss Pristine line seems to be a way of safeguarding its high-end standing while trimming the cost of entry. The new collection is all aboutthe skin barrieragain, this is something that is resonating with consumers who are increasingly looking for hydration, resilience and protection from modern stresses on the skin. Based on La Prairie, modern skin can be compromised by pollution lifestyle jetlag, digital hairdryer and the other modern stresses.
Swiss Pristine is La Prairie’s answer to these stresses.

The company states the line combines Swiss natural ingredients with biotechnology to promote skin resistance and hydration.
These are not substantiated by any medical findings. Swiss Pristine will debut with a three-step skincare regiment of essence, serum and cream. The essence will be used as a pre-moisturizer to hydrate and prepare the skin, while the serum will improve the appearance of radiance and feel of smoothness.
The moisturizer will help to sustain the fresh look of the skin by locking in moisture.

Though, there’s reports of a preview event that will take place at Hankyu Umeda in Osaka before in launch.
Packaging is a big part of launching the collection. The Swiss Pristine range features an “ice crack” finish which as La Prairie, mimics the constantly shifting textures of Swiss glaciers. The textured surface results in variations in surface texture between individual packages, further emphasizing La Prairie’s heritage of Swiss craftsmanship and luxurious packaging.
This approach might help La Prairie to target a younger set of consumers. Beiersdorf has already mentioned that lower level offerings are relevant for gaining new and younger users and that they will keep high-end innovation for its high-market clients.
