A package from Argentum Apothecary arrived for me, all the way from London. The design director in me let out a squeal of excitement when I opened the package. Not only was the packaging really gorgeous and special, a jar of ARgENTUM Apothecary la potion infinie was handsomely nested inside.
What is this product? Argentum Apothecary la potion infinie is a super hydrating, restorative anti-age cream with 99.2% of its key ingredients from natural origins. Let’s find out more, shall we?
At first, I wasn’t planning to use this cream extensively and just wanted to do a quick sample. Primarily because I found the fragrance to be too musky for my personal liking. I felt that this cream would be more appropriate for a guy perhaps. However, this product has been designed for both men and women.
Upon opening the jar of la potion infinie, I was readily taken by its sublime content. Particularly I found the texture of this cream to be sophisticated and luxurious.
But what took me by surprise was the effect upon first use. It was SHOCKING. In just one application, I could see an immediate firming and tightening of skin. O_O This luxurious cream glided on my skin, was absorbed easily and gave an overall improvement to my complexion. I kid you not, my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me when I noticed that my nasolabial lines appeared much less visible.
My face looked fortified and brighter right away. Seriously I couldn’t believe it myself. When I touched my skin though, it felt somewhat greasy but it didn’t appear that way at all in the mirror. O_O No reflective shine, just a soft even dewy finish. How very strange. Just like the mysterious illustrations that are part of ARgENTUM’s branding (I love them a lot, by the way. Whoever designed this did a fantastic job!).
Really, I was genuinely impressed by the way it made my skin look. The more I used it, the smoother my skin appeared. Again, it couldn’t be my eyes playing tricks on me, could it?
So I took a closer look at the core ingredients in la potion infinie to find out where the sorcery originates from. The key ingredients in this product are Silver Hydrosol & DNA HP. From the brand’s website, I gleaned the following:
Silver Hydrosol regulates skin flora with its natural anti-bacterial properties. DNA HP promotes cell regeneration, crucially the production of collagen and elastin and reduces lipid peroxidation. Its high molecular weight results in excellent absorption, enabling optimum hydration. This synergetic action results in tissue regeneration and acts as a powerful antioxidant – a bioactive formula, delivering a new experience for a visibly healthier complexion.
This Argentum Apothecaryla potion infinie is so incredibly healing that it can be used on any part of the body too. Silver Hydrosol has been used in the treatment of acne, psoriasis and rosacea, so applying it on the skin will have a soothing effect and may assist in the healing process for minor cuts and wounds.
Furthermore, this cream can also be used around the eye area because it contains caffeine, which reduces the lipid level under and around the eye and delivers moisture whilst being non-comedogenic (non pore-clogging).
I also found out that the jar that Argentum Apothecary la potion infinie comes in isn’t a normal regular jar. It’s a patented protective violet glass that works by blocking the complete spectrum of visible light, except for violet light. This unique combination offers optimal protection against the damaging processes caused by visible light. Thus the potency and life span of the product is effectively prolonged. Once opened, this anti-age cream must be used within 8 months.
Despite my initial reservation towards the fragrance, I AM SOLD. The Argentum Apothecary la potion infinie is a classy product and this anti-age cream delivers what it promises.
Indulge me in raving about the branding again please. A card came attached with my package. It reads SAGE, one of the twelve ARgENTUM’s brand personas. The brand story is that these archetypes go on an odyssey together and arrive to la maison, the heart and mind of ARgENTUM. A place of excellence where passionate souls would come together to contribute, enhance and enrich.
Such an awesome story that tickles the imagination!
The SAGE is represented by an illustration of an owl perched on an open book with a three-leaved sage, with the moon was at the background. The message which the SAGE embodies is:
“Through observing truth you will attain enlightenment from inner wisdom and without attachment. Focus on the power of nature and share your esoteric knowledge.”
Very nice. To find out more about the other archetypes, mosey over to the ARgENTUM Apothecary website. Have fun exploring and immerse yourself in this magical world. The brand story is truly awesome and creative. *HEART EYES*
