We love a budget beauty buy as much as the next skincare junkie, but we also can’t deny that there’s something magical about slathering your skin in a truly luxe-feeling formula.
Because while they’re often investments, the results are generally worth the splurge. So when your skin needs a little extra TLC (or you just want your face to feel regal for a hot minute), here are the luxurious face creams to turn to.

Swissline
Swissline Cell Shock Luxe-Lift Rich Cream
This dewy cream practically invented luxury. It’s an investment (precisely $303), but the silky-soft skin it leaves you with is worth the cash splash. Plus, it’s packed with high concentrations of marine collagen and colloidal gold (boujee), so the price is pretty easily justified.
CEMOY
Everything about this product screams luxury, from the lush packaging and silky feel to the impressive results (you can thank its blend of antioxidants and marine seaweeds for those). But at $59.95 it’s a luxury you can afford to use consistently – the best of both worlds.
Abeeco
abeeco Bee Venom Pure Perfection Cream with Natural8™
A product’s price tag doesn’t have to be hefty for the formula inside to feel luxurious – you can grab this lifting, tightening cream (packed with red seaweed, bee venom and manuka honey) for less than a hundred bucks – $87.50 to be exact.
Endota Spa
endota spa new age™ Cellular Repair Face Cream
With all the impressive ingredients housed in the blend (it’s rich in technologically advanced hexapeptides and octapeptides that help reduce wrinkle depth) this $125 formula is basically a skin-smoothing steal.
L’OCCITANE
L’OCCITANE Immortelle Divine Cream
You can’t put a price on complexion comfort. Or maybe you can – L’Occitane is selling it for $152. Containing a complex of seven naturally derived actives, the glow-boosting properties are outshone only by the soothing ones.
Ella Baché
Ella Baché Eternal+ Reconstructing Very Rich Cream
If enhanced elasticity, smoothed texture, reduced pigmentation and boosted brightness are up for grabs, we’d say the price ($149) is right. Your skin thanks you in advance.
I would love to try L’Occitanne. Also love the look of Cemoy.
Never tried any of these, but I’d love to try the L’Occitanne one. All their products are just pure luxury.
I would love to try the Loccitane Divine cream, their Divine cleansing balm was amaaazing ♡
Cemoy and Swissline are two brands I had never heard of before
They all sound fabulous. I might have to start saving to afford one.
Oh yeah I've used that Bee Venom PurePerfection one and it's really really great!! Love it! I also have tried a sample of that L'Occitane one which was really nice.
Some fabulous options here for that sprinkle of luxury skincare!
Would love to try Swissline Cell Shock Luxe-Lift Rich Cream sounds amazing so many other creams that I am not familiar with at all.
Wow the Cemoy packaging looks really impressive!
A few brands I have never heard of before. Interesting.
These look wonderful.
Just the packaging oozes luxury – One day I will spoil myself!
Would be keen to splurge now
Cemoy has amazing ingredients and packaging.
I love the look of the Cemoy and not as expensive as I thought it would be.
Those gorgeous pots would add a touch of class to my bathroom
My hubby bought me some of the Loccitane Immortelle cream and is so beautiful and luxurious to use.
I haven't even heard of the first two…
Certainly out of my price range. Super low budget here now.
I wouldn't mind trying the L'Occitane one, but it's La Mav that's been on my wishlist for if I ever win Lotto.
The Cemoy packaging looks pretty luxe – and the cheapest out of them all. Ah if only money weren't an issue 🙁
It would be nice to splash on some of these when I have some sparer cash
"Water/Eau, Butylene Glycol, C12-20 Acid PEG-8 Ester, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Nylon-12, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Dimethicone, Myristyl Myristate, PTFE, Hydrolyzed Fibroin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hibiscus Abelmoschus Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Gold, Hydrolyzed DNA, Hydrolyzed RNA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten….." for 330 bucks? I skip. Even the jar is not that attractive for 330 bucks. Is it gold plated? Or perhaps as slathering Nylon, DNA and RNA on the skin is pricey? Oh, it contains gold too. My skin "needs" gold, as much as it needs nylon. [sarcasm]
Cant use Loccitane, few of their body and face products have triggered my eczema to pop. Cemoy one has very interesting packaging =D
Ella bache and Endota make nice formulas, but hard to buy anything from EB as they don't list ing of their products
If I become a millionaire I might try a few, they didnt include Creme de La Mer , that's a really expensive one.
I've always been curious about the L'Occitane.
I'm ok with my more budget skincare items. Unless there's a trial for these expensive creams, I'd be more than happy to put my hand up for that, lol 🙂
The Cemoy packaging looks like a perfume bottle!
Would love to try them all of course. Not going too anytime soon however unless I get samples. Have a little tub of tje Locittaine one. May have to give it a try now
What luxe brands, I want to try them all.
They do look nice, but probably out of my price range.
Are these even worth the amount of money
That Swissline Cell shock one definitely shocked me what an expensive product
I have a few Clinique products but am using a lot of The Ordinary products and am happy with the results and price.
Wow Swissline is super luxe!! At that price the bottle doesn't really match the price range.
I have tried the Locataine one in store and it is so beautiful.
It'd have to be an amazing product for me to spend three figures on it.
I've reported the spam post below by mccart on the "SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH" thread.
I buy one quality treat a year, if I think it works for me I add it to my selections, if not it is a once off buy. It is sort of simular to buying lotto tickets, some are winners others a waste of cash. At least buying a product I have some benefit.
I buy one expemsive product a year, as a real treat to myself. Some are worth the cash out lay others not.
Never heard of Cemoy but I am really interested in trying it.
I haven't heard of Swiss Line but it's way too expensive anyway. I haven't heard of Cemoy Lumen either but it's price is a more reasonable skin treat
One facial cream I find absolutely luxurious is Creme de la Mer. It’s just absolutely beautiful. My skin loves it. I’ve never actually purchased it, I’ve only ever received it as samples, particularly in Mecca Beauty Loop boxes. At $680 for a 100ml jar, I think I’ll just have to dream…….sigh……
