Yves Saint Laurent is joining in with the overly priced skincare hype and launching a new collection this spring. While some claim to be filled with rare ingredients, exotic additives and all natural whats-a-macall-it's this collection really does have exotic ingredients in it. For example, Saffron is a key ingredient and is one of the most expensive ingredients around in both cookies, perfumery and skincare. It can also be described as ''red gold'' simply because it is so expensive *gulp* The saffron that's included in this collection contain a high concentration of a unique glycan called ' crocin.'
Crocin is chock filled with antioxidants and is medically used to help treat depression. It has major anticarcinogenic properties which help to slow down the spread of cells that may become cancer in the future and increases cell communication and metabolism which helps to slow down the signs of ageing. Honestly, it's just nice to see a big L'Oreal brand include ingredients that are anti-carcinogenic rather than the other way around.
Crocin is also an antipyretic and analgesic so this will be a great product addition for those who suffer from acne due to its ability to reduce the heat, inflammation and pain caused by cysts, boils and pimples. You may have guessed but Crocin as an ingredient is basically a painkiller - it's used as the main active ingredient in Tylenol and Panadol.
The collection aims to soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce puffiness and dark circles and hydrate your skin to perfection. There's a few products in the range and those are...
*50ml YSL Or Rouge Cream
*200ml YSL Or Body Lotion
*15ml YSL Or Eye Cream
The range will launch initially into Harrods sometime this month. I'll keep you posted on the actual date as I find out. Warning though it,s going to be very expensive given its abilities it's one I may save for or, wait until it comes down in price. What are your thoughts on this?
* Nothing to Disclose *
This sounds wonderful, but not something I'll be investing in as I just have the cash to splash!
