Why La Prairie’s new Skin Caviar Nighttime Oil is the perfect addition to your bedtime ritual
Deep blue hues have inspired Sense of Blue, a unique installation created by French artist Maotik for La Prairie, unveiled for the first time at Switzerland’s Art Basel 2021. Known for his immersive installations, Maotik’s three-dimensional designs transform people’s perception and experience of space.
This piece brings the uniqueness of the hue to life and invites visitors to step deep into the colour. Thanks to the carefully hidden motion sensors, video projections and digital algorithms, each viewer’s encounter is shaped by their own movement.
A digital art pioneer, Maotik specialises in such interactive environments, using technological innovation to celebrate beauty—an approach that resonates deeply with La Prairie’s own vision of blending science with artistry. Sense of Blue seamlessly represents this dialogue, harnessing past, present and future to create a landmark piece that commemorates the night’s beauty—an extraordinary companion to Nighttime Oil’s similarly extraordinary skincare powers.

The latest addition to its award-winning Skin Caviar range, Nighttime Oil showcases Caviar Retinol, a potent new ingredient exclusive to La Prairie that combines caviar lipids and natural caviar-derived retinol. With benefits including an unparalleled line-smoothing ability, this molecule works with the body’s natural circadian rhythms—which promote collagen production and complexion rejuvenation during sleep—to give skin a fresh lease of life.
The skin’s barrier permeability increases at night, making it prone to dryness; Nighttime Oil has been crafted to combat this, intensively hydrating skin and protecting against moisture loss. It is also the first time that La Prairie’s revolutionary Exclusive Cellular Complex has been incorporated into an oil; part of the brand’s DNA for decades, this signature science is key to enhancing the skin’s renewal process.
