Working at insider just equals free facials lol
David Smith I finally figured out my dream job
I want this to be my job like what he said
It might come off their pay check
David Smith maybe they don’t have to pay because the company that does the facial really gets free advertising through the video
Yeah, but I don't think beauty insider pays for the treatment since they're advertising the place that does this treatment so..
For 2,000 dollars I better get a new face

I would love to see this series where the person doesn’t know the cost before hand so they aren’t inflating their personal thoughts and have an unbiased opinion! Then try and guess at the end
Still a fantastic idea a year later!
Yyaaasss!!!
I used to work for La Prairie and it’s true, their products really are impressive and amazing. During the time I worked for them I had all products for free and my skin was absolutely flawless! Having said that, I believe nutrition is the most important factor for amazing skin!
I mean u got it for free of course its impressive and amazing if you have to pay you will suddenly see how it is not amazing lol
Facial lady: literally just tapping on her face
Girl: *OoOOo tHe HEigHt oF LuxUrY*
That was like.... $500 per tap. It better be the height of luxury.😭
I literally do that to myself when I have a headache (the tapping). Lemme just use some 200$ lotion and it's still so much cheaper.
Meh. I'm still skeptical. I feel like a lot of the "amazing results" could have to do with the placebo effect.
YES OH YES
Obscure Je t'aime you also paid $2000. You don’t want to think it was all for nothing. That means you didn’t need to flush $2000 down the drain.
I would be so on the placebo train if I just spent 2k$ on a facial treatment xDDD
the placebo effect is the reason i don’t do many things 😭🤚🏻
I would never be able to fall asleep knowing I just wasted 5 months of work(=2000$) on one 45 minute session of face cleaning.
Bald As an egg you only make $2000 in 5 months? Do you... have a house? Like are you eating at home???
If you only make $2,000 in 5 months that means you only get $400 a month. What on earth do you do for work. I think you need to find a new job
They’re prob 15 years old lol that’s a lot of money at that age
Well... and she stills earns more than I do on my country
Kelsey Andresen I’m 14 and I get 1200 per month 😑
_i ain't gonna pay $2000 for a facial and full body massage that would only last for 45 minutes. i'll just pay my sibling to massage me all day for $20_

"$2k=3 weeks at Disneyland"
If she was gonna make up facts she could atleast make them more believable.
Right? I was like that would be for a family of four for one day's entrance. That doesn't even include the travel expenses etc.
It was $6000 for a week for a family of 4
It's true I went and the tickets for Disneyland Paris is £30 each for a day. So 30x7=210 210x3=630 so you could actually go for like 4 weeks.
Jethro Teece what you said is true but they count in dollars and they go not to disneyland paris so i think that if you go to disneyland in America its more than 40 bucks
For one person that lives near Disneyland you could go for three weeks
Love how they can barely describe what this is actually doing for the skin and can't point to any significant studies outside of their own "research" for what the ingredients are doing. Why is platinum the best peptide-producing ingredient versus other ones already on the market? Has your skincare regimen noticeably improved after using the products they gave you for an extended amount of time? What is the price breakdown of the ingredients per listed weight? There's so much more that needs to be here before you start trying to tell people they need a $2000 facial
You could literally go on vacation w that money. Why look good when you could travel the world!
Swim DiveRepeat Well for rich people they can look GOOD AND TRAVEL the world....
😩
If u got money u can look good and travel the world
So you can look good while traveling the world
“I can go to Disney land for more than three weeks” 💀 GIRLLLL I went with almost 1300 dollars for ONLY 3 days so good luck with 3 weeks sis 🤣
I love how they were saying this brand was "top of the line" "best innovation" 😂because putting fish eggs and gold into a face wash is innovative. I swear slap a $500 price tag of cow manure and bam INNOVATION FROM THE WORLD'S BEST SCIENTISTS

It's la Prairie now, idk why it changes tho
Follow indian searching for this perfect comment
They corrected it🤣
Who wants to try it out but dosent have the money
Nope. Even if I had $2000 it wouldn’t be wasted on this. There’s sooooo much amazing skincare out there it’s not worth it at allll. That’s rent money, loan repayment money, investment money. Literally sooo many things. Including top of the line skincare. You don’t need platinum infused products to get the same results.
"The peptide allows the skin to firm up, to be more elastic"
Ah yes, firm and elastic, my favorite synonyms
I'd love to have a job where I just go around reviewing and trying facials 🙄
Well get a degree in journalism or broadcast communication, intern somewhere and then build a resume so you can apply to one of these places. Oh wait that requires work 🙄

The best thing about this video is that everyone is speaking so soothingly. Its so relaxing even just watching 😀😂
I know nothing of skincare, but the lady that did the facial had the most relaxing voice ever
For $2000, several laser treatments in the dermatology office would be more beneficial to the skin.
Heh after this my wallets gonna need therapy 💀
after that 2000$ facial to go in the subway 💀
The minute I find my very first wrinkle, I will sue them right away
😂
I feel like y’all have been played🤣🤣
I mean, it is pretty much just a legal marketing scam at that price. Nothing exceptional about the facial, aside from the ingredients in their products, which have no actual documented foundation in science.
my mom works for this company and I get free products all the time lol I feel very lucky about that
I bought a makeup remover from there it was $120
N G okay
Was it worth it?
Do they work?
It really does work but they also gave me a free small sample kit to take home like a cleanser and a night mask

Most likes I ever got is 14 :D
Haha aww
It’s like they were brainwashing the customer while in the relax state, to buy their (expensive) products. Like a mantra. 😂
I have a question. I see a couple of different products with platinum and I just want to ask if platinum actually does anything for the skin or any part of the body. I’m newer to skin care and I’m trying to learn, but platinum just kind of seems like a waste of money and resources, same with gold. I know that silver can possibly have a good effect but I don’t know much about that either.
I love the woman giving the facial, I just wish the girl getting the facial could be quieter and enjoy it
Imagine getting sent home with testers after you spend $2k
La Prairie be bragging here but i still believe in Dr. Jart (a non gimmicky skincare line from Korea)
dr jart made me have the worst breakout of my life
I think Korean go to clinic to get their facial done. They are so popular in surgery.
The esthetitian is so gentle...that relaxes me even watch her applying the products.
Oh... i would love she touches and massages my face 😦.
love that they’re shortest facial is the most expensive by FAR
"You're technically getting a good deal"
You know what's an even better deal? Not spending so much as cent on useless, expensive-for-the-sake-of-being-expensive pseudoscience.
Plus, they always overprice the products in the first place so that they can advertise services like these to seem like a "good deal". In reality, the production of those products is generally significantly cheaper than what they are being sold for, but people buy it because of the brand name and fancy packaging. They typically advertise ingredients that are expensive but have no real scientific evidence to prove their effectiveness, and cheaper products can often be sold for a much lower price. At the end of the day, people are buying the brand and perception of luxury, not a truly unique effective service
The price was probably accurate for perches but much higher then the cost of production so the brand is able to offer it much Cheaper to the spa, bc once people get the spa treatments and get the free full size products there more likely to buy it at full price
This girl got the dream job
her voice is sooo soothing, that's why it's so expensive
I’m serious what job is this really? I wanna know
This makes me feel broke
Jeon Kookachu army😂💜
Can’t lie, watching this while steaming my face at home is a treat
Am I the only one who already feel uncomfortable by all those people touching her?
Or is this just my social anxiety
Me too
Blair that’s not social anxiety
I wont wash my face after that facial in the morning
I'm glad the towel was very welcoming
Yes that alone was 1000 Big ones 💸💸💸🏧🏧🏧🏧🏧
a facial that costs the same amount as the end of year trip for the kids graduating.. jesus
This is like my birthday for the next 5 years 😂
Bruh this one 45 min skincare treatment costs almost 200 times the skincare I use for over a month
I have $300 foundation from La Prairie. I need a deeper olor but I would buy it again.
@Quantum Mystery if someone can afford it and chooses to buy it.. it's their choice..why does it make them dumb though?..what you think is right won't be the same for someone else...so that makes them dumb?
Make more of this facial treatments it's somehow satisfy me xD
kinda wish they gave u a room at the hotel to stay in for the night so you could get the facial and really relax and not have to drive home or anything. id be so nice to be able to get the facial then literally go straight to bed
I agree. That should be apart of the nighttime facial. Like it's basically you going back to the world getting your face dirty
If I’m ever in New York I’ll be having this done! I’ve ALWAYS wanted to try La Prairie!!
I think it is somehow worth it because you can "continue" with your treatment, it is not only a half a day solution.
3rd comment and this facial looks amazing. One day I will be able to splurge on facials.
I forgot the name of the opera they used at the begining of the facial and they didnt put it in the description
Plz tell me if you know
„Warm red dermaglobes…“ sounds like something they’d show on „How They Do It“ on Rick and Morty xD like a plumbus 🤣
Look,I really do understand that you might wanna spend a bit more for things like this,but there's genuinely no reasonable explanation that would make getting this facial seem like a good idea. It's something rich people do because they're rich. That's it.
I expected it to include a two-night stay at the Ritz Carlton's presidential suite.
Sneezing during this would be awkward
Very informative and thorough, unlike many other facial reviews from various channels. A+!
I like how there most expensive facial is the least amount of time
go to thailand and you can get the same thing for about $15
Me: *watches this*
Also me: “I can only imagine.”
The lady getting the facial is a mouth breather 👄 ☠️
This 2000$ actually equals 36,000 in my country😒
150000 in INR
Not 36,000 dollars lol, the currency different
100,000 in PHP😪
56,860 in UAH.
How does a 45 min session equate to a “spa day”?
No thanks, I'll stick to using cucumber and tea bag for the eyes and rice water for my face.
Same
First of all,it is Compulsory to have acne free skin to get this facial🤣😄
thanks but i’ll stick with my cerave
Imagine : What if the employee work their broke a product used for this facial 🤯
im getting this facial tmr:)) so excited
no im joking🙂 im sticking to cheap stuff
Their sales pitch is so weird - they proudly say they want to be the first and the best, they use gratuitous ingredients because they're rare and attract people who seek this kind of treatment for reasons other than skin care or relaxation. I know this is how a huge part of the beauty industry works its just so weird to hear people saying it with a straight face
It’s only 45 minutes?!?!?!
Is that good/bad or in between
Genessie Ellie insanely short for $2000
0:53 when i saw “la prairie” okay hands up
This looks so relaxing 😌
Is it just me or dose anyone feel relaxed when that lady was rubbing her hands on her face ☺️
Skin is an inside job..
Go to trader Joe's and buy collagen hyrolysate gelatin..and some emergency C...
Make your self smoothies with avocado & spinach..cut out all sugar and refined carbs..
Keep your insides clean..& do a sauna a few times a week...
As a licensed Ethetician most facials are a over rated & way overpriced...its all geared at selling
Products where the packaging cost more than the product...
It has been found that diet plays little to no role in skin health. Skin is the last organ in the body to receive nutrients, so it is very unlikely anything from our food lands on our skin. Diminishing inflammation within the body through diet however IS helpful - may seem like similar concepts, but they certainly are not. Skincare is engineered to have carrier systems that deliver necessary nutrients and protection to epidermis on a cellular level, making skin care the main influence on overall skin health. HOWEVER over the counter skin care does not do any of these things unfortunately. They are too massed produced to have potent and effective ingredients even if they claim that they do - this is why there is a lot of misconception surrounding the efficacy of skincare. It is just important to invest in quality, medical grade skin care and to visit an Esthetician/skincare specialist once a month. But as an Esthetician... you would think that you would know that? Hm...
The inner health of the body...
Is reflected in the skin hair and nails.
& as an Esthetician..
One of the frist things you learn is nothing can pass below the last layers of the dermis...if so you would die of infection..
Basically the skincare industry has made billions in selling product that treats dead skin.
Unless you go to a dermatologist and get a flaxel laser 5000$ treatment nothing really improves skin. As it shocks the skin to increase collagen..
The facial in this video is such a rip off on so many levels..
Incidentally gold is the worse thing to use on your skin..and about as unnatural as you can get..
There will always be foolish women who will think spending thousands of dollars on face cremes will make their skin better..
When it's just massaging their egos..
cellular level ...dont make me laugh..
Your ignorance is stunning..
@@susangregg9396 I am in no way disputing that the facial in this video is a waste of money. It very well could be, I do not know the performance ingredients that this skincare has in it, nor do I care. I am also not disputing that the skincare industry's money comes from marketing products that are pure fluff. In fact, in my comment I point out that over the counter skincare does not, will not, do anything for skin health. I also mention in my comment that eating to diminish "inflammation" IS important - in fact it is essential to body and skin health. However, I AM disputing that eating a carrot because it has vitamin A does not have the same effect on the skin as applying medical grade retinol. Eating an orange does not have the same pigment inhibition effect on the skin as applying vitamin C topically does. Does it make your health better? Sure. But the results are not comparable. "Nothing can pass the last layers of the dermis." You are absolutely correct - good thing we arn't trying to do anything in the dermis. Without giving an entire lesson on the functions of the Epidermis (more specifically the Stratum Basale), I will say that skin cells are not formed in the dermis so our skincare just doesn't need to go that far. Not sure why "gold" was brought into, but sorry to burst that bubble too... metals have been used for heath purposes all through out history (I won't dive too much into that). It also seems that you are implying that "molecular weight" doesn't play a role in this? Yet you imply in your first comment that sitting in a sauna will release toxins...? This is what you mean by "keep your insides clean" correct? Besides dehydrating yourself doing that (lol), are you not implying that toxins excrete via the skin on a molecular level? I mean, you're saying the toxins come out via our sweat... right? ..... which is exactly how skincare penetrates the epidermis on a MOLECULAR level. You don't really think pizza just pops out of the skin when you're in a sauna, I'm sure? So I get that you're just trying to do a cute clap back because you feel threatened, but don't go contradicting yourself in the process, it weakens the argument. I'm sorry I even replied to your original comment, but it was just so sad to see a "licensed" esthetician know so little about skin. You're making us estheticians look bad, Susan.
@@malissamason8124 omg yass ! Also it got me when she talks about drinking collagen. When consumed collagen doesn't know where to go in the body it's too hard to digest and therefore simply peed away. It's total marketing

Does this actually helps you sleep ? As you said ??
when i saw the spa directors face i thought he looked like an older version of ken the doll
Well, thays something to add to the bucket list, or atleast on the, "when i win the lotto" list!
Y’all know she’s not paying for the facial right? Either it’s hugely discounted because they’re getting publicity (1M views) or Insider covers the entire fee in order to make the video. Either way, they’re making their money back with all the views and comments complaining about the price.
Why? I am going to tell you why. Because people are dumb enough to spend money on this..
tbh this is one of those things i’d do once before i die
for anyone wondering the song at the beginning is back cello prelude 1
I have also experience of this facial its very good
Your skin goes lighter day by day after this facial
I recommend this fecial
