I've had the LaROCCA skincare products for a few months now, but it took me a little while to get around to using them because I've been traveling between L.A. and the east coast and I wanted to use them when I had at least a month of uninterrupted testing time. And now that I have tried them, I'm kicking myself for not dragging them across the country with me because they are fantastic. Seriously, you guys. Fantastic. The line consists of these 4 products:
- 24K Gold Cleanser Exfoliant ($75) - A silky cream with a gentle natural exfoliant that dissolves makeup quickly while it moisturizes and stimulates collagen growth.
- 24K Gold Eye Cream ($150) - A premium multi-tasking eye treatment that lifts tightens and helps decrease inflammation while hydrating and strengthening dermal tissue.
- 24K Gold Moisture ($125) - A weightless invisible veil containing hyaluronic acid and our revolutionary cellular gold complex, made with 24K gold that creates an ideal environment to boost the energy for the regeneration of new skin cells and protecting them from free radicals.
- 24K C-Gold ($150) - A potent formula containing a stabilized form of 15% Vitamin C and our revolutionary cellular gold complex, made with 24K gold. This velvety lightweight gel helps energize and stimulate cell regeneration and repairs sun damage.
The line was created by Laura DeLuisa LaRocca after she became introduced to the benefits of gold when she suffered from kidney failure. She started the line because she "wanted to make the benefits of gold widely accessible in the form of technology-driven, results oriented skincare without compromising the environment." (Who knew that my love for gold jewelry was actually sort of healthy?) I know that the line is expensive and in this day and age, it's tough to tell people to go out and spend that much on a skincare line, but I will say that if you are going to spend the money, LaROCCA is totally worth it. The products are all super luxurious - you can definitely tell that the formulas are made with gold - and they left my skin literally glowing. I am totally in love with the C-Gold - I'm a firm believer in serums after cleansing and this one is definitely in the top three I've ever used. Its formula helps to energize cell regeneration and it reduces fine lines and minimizes the look of age spots and wrinkles. Obviously those things are kind of hard to tell in a month, but from the way it leaves my skin looking at night (and the next morning!) I'm pretty convinced that it's working. I'm also a big fan of the Eye Cream - it's moisturizing without being greasy and I'm noticing that my concealer goes on much smoother since I've been using it. (Maybe because it's keeping the skin so hydrated?) The other thing that's so great about the line is that the products are all paraben free biodegradable formulas that come in 100% recyclable packaging, plus 3% of all the profits are donated to The National Kidney Foundation. That definitely gets a gold star from me! (Sorry - there I go with the puns again...)
