The 12 Most Outrageously Expensive Skin Care CreamsThese luxe face moisturizers make Creme de La Mer look like a bargain |
Chantecaille Nano Gold Energizing Cream, $420 Key ingredient: 24-carat gold
Chantecaille's golden-yellow-colored cream, about $247 per ounce, apparently binds nanoparticles of gold to silk microfiber (protein) to deliver "healing" benefits to the skin. Most of the other ingredients, from lactic acid to pineapple juice, are included with the goal to reduce stress and promote energy — kind of like a really expensive yoga class ... for your face.

Maybe it's pricey. But maybe it's worth it. I say look into it because maybe it's expensive because of the one amazing ingredient that does wonders.

Wonder if it's really worth it.

The most expensive skin care I have ever tried is Ameleon Skincare and worth every single penny. Expensive but it works, highly recommend it

I think the romance and magic of cosmetics is worth the price for some women, you know, like an expensive perfume or designer outfit that makes her feel confident and happy. If you have the money and you need the lure of the name, then go for it. If the ingredients are good, then they will improve your skin, but not take the place of surgery or dermatological procedures. I say have fun, but don't break the bank!

WOW these prices have left me speechless! but it is amusing to know that most of these products have zero reviews on Totalbeauty, i guess because very very few people can afford them!

You can get botox for cheaper, and I will do just that before buying these creams.

Oh, if only I'd be able to afford any of these products.... one of these days.
