Tracie Martyn Firming Serum

Before the brutal reality of of a mortgage set in, I readily thew almost $200 at this pretty purple product’s feet every few months. This may sound like lunacy, but I am telling you — Tracie Martyn Firming Serum is the most stimulating and soothing luxury skincare serum I’ve ever come across.

Tracie Martyn Firming Serum

The serum is replete with incredible natural ingredients including Glycosaminoglycans, which prevent collagen from breaking down, nitrogen compounds to promote cell regrowth and antioxidant enzymes, which are responsible for detoxifying and brightening the skin. It goes on like silk and so hydrating, you barely need to add moisturizer.

Legend has it that some major A-list celebrities are huge fans of Tracie and her famous facials, including Susan Sarandon, Liv Tyler, Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet — all of whom have lovely skin, of course. A few years ago, you — and they, I imagine — actually had to travel to one part of Manhattan to get your hands on the serum. You’d ring the shaky little doorbell to a modest townhouse and wait to be let in. Luckily, this is no longer the case. If you have $185 and want to pamper yourself with outrageously beautiful skin, you can purchase Tracie’s serum online at Tracie Martyn or Neiman Marcus.
