Prada Beauty Augmented Skin The Cleanser (125ml) - Luxury Skincare Gift

This is a face wash that costs more than most people's entire skincare routine. And once you understand what Prada have done here, you'll understand why.

The Augmented Skin Cleanser isn't just a cleanser — it's Prada's statement that luxury skincare and environmental responsibility aren't mutually exclusive. 99% biodegradable. Made in France. And built around technology that most skincare brands are still pretending to understand.

What Makes This Different

Most cleansers strip your skin and call it clean. Prada built theirs around a concept they call Adapto.gn Smart Technology — a system that combines targeted adaptogens with active ingredients designed to support your skin's natural rejuvenation cycle.

The result is a cleanser that works across three dimensions simultaneously: refining texture, delivering suppleness, and creating genuine radiance. Not the marketing kind of radiance. The "people notice and ask what you've changed" kind.

In clinical self-assessment of 101 participants:

• 79% agree skin feels more supple
• 80% agree skin texture appears more refined
• 81% agree skin looks more radiant

Morning and Night

In the morning, the cleanser prepares your skin for the day — building resilience against environmental stressors while leaving it hydrated and smooth. Think of it as armour that happens to feel like silk.

At night, it doubles as a make-up remover. One product does both jobs, and does them with the kind of effortless efficiency that Prada has built an empire on. No double cleansing needed. No second product. Just clean, refreshed, protected skin.

The Ingredients

The formula centres on 21% glycerin and amino acids — a concentration that's genuinely impressive for a cleanser. Most luxury cleansers use glycerin as a token gesture; Prada made it a fifth of the formula. That's the difference between "contains hydrating ingredients" and "your skin will actually feel hydrated after washing it."

Withania Somnifera Root Extract (Ashwagandha) — one of the most studied adaptogens in skincare, known for helping skin cope with stress and environmental damage.

Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract (Kakadu Plum) — contains one of the highest concentrations of natural vitamin C of any fruit in the world. Australian-sourced and increasingly recognised as a powerhouse antioxidant in serious skincare formulations.

Lactobacillus Ferment — a postbiotic ingredient that supports the skin's natural microbiome. Your skin barrier has its own ecosystem, and this ingredient helps keep it balanced.

Allantoin — soothes and protects, particularly useful for skin that's been exposed to pollution, weather, or stress.

99% Biodegradable

Here's where Prada quietly raised the bar. The formula is 99% biodegradable — meaning almost everything that goes down your drain breaks down naturally. For a luxury product at this level of performance, that's a genuine achievement, not a marketing line.

Made in France, where cosmetic manufacturing standards are among the most stringent in the world.
