Dior Prestige La Micro-Huile de Rose

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This is a very sumptuous serum – the sort that your skin is instantly gratified with and it’s exceptionally moisturising.

At £144, yes, it should be good – and really, it is. It feels exactly as a luxury product should. I’ve been trying it for several days and don’t need any other moisturiser at all (although I am combining it on and off with the cheap as chips Superdrug Polyglutamic Acid) because it seems to keep my skin at a perfect hydration point.

Much of Dior’s beauty offerings involve roses – they’re so much part of the brand’s history and heritage. In fact, the rose extracts used for this serum are the result of seven generations of horticultural hybrids to make the most potent mix for skin. As you can see, the texture is boosted by micro-pearls (thousands of them!) filled with over 20 micro-nutrients, including minerals, omega-3 and vitamin E.

The brand suggests using it before you use your regular skin care – you might find, like me, that you don’t need much else, but to test I used it under a day cream and there was no interaction – it sort of feels like the under-sheet on a bed … more comfortable for being there. It feels somewhere between an oil and a serum – as soon as you apply it you are aware that your complexion feels immediately more silky, hydrating and soft. It has a light scent of rose.

If you like your skin care luxury, I very much recommend it and while I feel cynical about most highly priced face care, this somehow feels reassuring. You can find it HERE, non affiliate HERE.

    I could never afford this, but I do pounce on as much rose-based ‘natural’ skincare as possible, and a lovely rose oil is a fine thing.
    I must have read somewhere that rose is exceptionally wonderful for older skin, with the result that I actually believe it’s working miracles, and that’s half the battle!
    Enjoy this product Jane, it looks and sounds divine,

      Thanks Cal – I know, it’s SO expensive (you should try the Superdrug Polyglutamic Acid – I think you’ll really like it and it is not at all pricy) but at the same time, it feels like you have an expensive thing on your face and not everything at that price does.

        Ah yes forgot to add…l think The Inkey (or The Ordinary?) range includes that, as we haven’t Superdrug in Ireland, and I’ve been meaning to try it. Both brands are so fab for expanding a skincare arsenal around much more costly items. Thanks!

    This sounds a lot like the Fresh Oil Infused Serum you reviewed a few weeks back which you liked but didn’t really feel had a place in a routine? I’m sure this is divine but even for diehard beauty addicts it’s just a step too far, surely?!

      Yes, you’re absolutely right – I think it’s each to their own – I loved the texture of this straight away and it felt ‘right’ on my skin. It’s not, as you suggest, a necessity, but there are those who like a multi-level routine. The thing I liked about this is that it is hydrating on its own and therefore didn’t feel like an extra step – other than the Superdrug Polyglutamic I didn’t put anything else over it. But, point taken and thank you for making it.

        Interesting to note that you apply the polyglutamate stuff on top of this. I’d have done it t’other way around, so it’s good to learn how it should be done!
        (Your review has tugged on my mind since it appeared, making me want something just like this immediately. I wonder could one mix a favourite facial oil into one of those ‘lotion’ essences, such as the super-hydrating one by Trilogy, with any success. Hmmm….I must get cracking on that!)

        1. Jane Cunningham

          To be honest, I am not a stickler for rules Cal – you do it any way you want – I would say order of product is down to which is nearest but shhhh, don’t tell :-)))
