There was years that I wanted to try La Mer but avoided it because of the cost. Curiosity finally caught up to me and I purchased a holiday set. You must warm this up with your fingertips until it becomes translucent and then apply. I personally love the scent, smells like a relaxing spa. The first Ingredient in this is seaweed extract, it acts as an antioxidant, it moisturizes and soften your skin. I had some unusual dryness recently that nothing seemed to resolve. Then I tried this and it worked, I had relief from the dry skin and tightness. I would purchase this solely for the times Iâm experiencing some stubborn dryness. I lean more towards medical grade skincare for anti aging because of my age, but I have to admit, there is something special about this formula.

First thing, itâs going to make your skin glow from the first use. It also adds notable clarity. It somewhat helps with acne and marks. You have to make sure youâre rubbing it between your hands and then patting it on to the face. You only need the smallest amount, just to cover your face- I use less than they advertise and less than I would use for my other creams. Any more is really too much, and you run the risk of greasiness, whiteheads, clogged pores and breakouts. Iâve been having major inflammation in my skin and after months of using it, it barely improved on these factors. I would really recommend using Drunk Elephant Wonderwild Miracle Butter- that stuff heals. This gives a luminous glow, a pricey one. Itâs hard to rate this product without factoring in ... MoreFirst thing, itâs going to make your skin glow from the first use. It also adds notable clarity. It somewhat helps with acne and marks.

Itâs hard to rate this product without factoring in the exorbitant price. You really can find better or equivalent moisturizers for cheaper. So much of your skin is also due to lifestyle. I had to take off one star for the price which is hard to purely justify, and it also tends to enlarge your whiteheads. I took off another star because the ingredient list is also concerning- mineral oil, petrolatum and that it may give you breakouts. It does indeed smell like your grandmotherâs cream. That being said, if nothing else works for you and this does, then itâs a small price to pay. Moreover if you really want a glow and canât seem to get one, then this may be your product. I would really advise getting a sample or a trial size to try it out to make sure that your skin likes it before committing.

I have been reading about La mer for more than a decade and I kept dreaming of when I will be able to afford it.Then the time came.I was only able to afford the mini though but I felt so excited nevertheless, it was like a dream come true.I started with lamer soft cream, ( i had read some reviews about the original creme de la mer being too thick) and yes within 1 week, I felt and saw the difference in my skin plump and glow, this healthy looking relaxed skin.I was bought! And ready to stick to the brand for life.But because it was the mini size, it didn't last me for more than 3 weeks.I decided to repurchase but this time, the original creme de la mer thinking because it is thicker, it will last longer.

I was right on it lasting longer. But as per the effect on my skin-Horrible!!! To say the least.No matter how much I warm it up with my fingers as described and shown in the video, this stuff won't get absorbed into my face skin. It just sits on my skin, with an ugly and sickly looking white cast like I am using a sunscreen or a foundation of lighter shade.Having read thousands of good reviews about this product, I thought things will change with time plus considering the hard earned money i used to buy it.After about a week, my face started breaking out in an unusual manner. The break outs seem to be beneath my skin like with a veil...funny right. My skin became the dullest I have ever seen it. No radiance, no glow, just total dullness that makes me sad when I look at my face in the mirror.I won't ever be buying creme de lamer again. Never.Maybe the soft cream in the future. Thank God I started with that. But I need to get over the waste of hard earned money, the disappointment as well as the terribly DULL face.I have learned a lesson though. Reviews are not a reliable guide to choosing to buy a skin care product!Thank you.

I was pretty excited to see that Sephora was offering this cream and some other skincare products from La Mer as a part of their points/rewards program. I wanted to know what the hype about the ridiculously expensive skin care line was about.What a disappointment. Letâs focus on just the moisturizer for this review - my eyes are watering from the strong scent it exudes and there is a slight tingly/burning sensation throughout my face (something I have never experienced with any other product before). The scent isnât foul, but the thing about me is that I would much rather wear perfume on my dĂŠcolletage than my face. The moisturizer applies very thin and feels almost powdery once dried down, yet remains hydrating. I mention this because I can at least confirm that ... MoreI was pretty excited to see that Sephora was offering this cream and some other skincare products from La Mer as a part of their points/rewards program.

I mention this because I can at least confirm that the product is high quality - a little will go a long way and it wonât stay greasy or goopy on your face. However, everything else falls short.Is it a nice moisturizer? Yes, I think overall it is. The burning, I presume, is from the heavy fragrance, but isnât unbearable, and the cream feels nice otherwise. Is it worth the pretentious price tag? Absolutely not, especially as other reviewers mentioned, the consideration that this cream has very basic ingredients. I think you could find an equally wonderful moisturizer for a fraction of the price, at a larger fluid size at that.If you love this cream or want to splurge - please do so and live your best life! We should all enjoy in a little luxury now and again, whether itâs La Mer or Starbucks!
Ok. Let me just start by saying I have fair sensitive skin and struggle with horrible dry patches on the sides of my face. Iâve tried all sorts of things to control them, but really the only solution Iâve found is proper sleep, a good diet, a good gentle exfoliation, and staying on top of moisturizing.I originally tried La Mer when I got a sample off the rewards bazaar. It is crazy moisturizing, doesnât sting my dry patches ever, and basically helps them to heal up. I went years only getting the samples or buying the small jar and using it when my skin was at its worst. Finally Iâve given up and use this as my everyday moisturizer. I can buy a few less foundations or eye shadow palettes but good skin is a must.I wish La Mer didnât have fragrance and I really ... MoreOk.

I deducted a star for the price, because itâs totally insane. I just havenât found a cheaper alternative (yet) that works as well for my particular skin issues.So there you are. Itâs a great product. I love what it does for my skin. But I hate the price.
To whomever this may help,I've always LOVED the Creme de La Mer Cream MOST! It got me INTO the whole Creme de La Mer brand in 2001 permanently; I'd even tried it earlier, but I was an exclusively loyal La Mer user since that Summer in 2001 (from SAKS 5th Avenue in NYC). Well, I just couldn't understand HOW nor WHY my absolute STAPLE product, MY GO TO for everything--the ORIGINAL Creme de La Mer Creme was suddenly failing me after 20 years?! before many other formulas (aside from the oil-absorbing and lotion pumps). Well, I got advice from my dermatologist to do something you're all probably thinking, 'Duh! Obvious thought!' But I'd never have imagined the Estee Lauder Company/LA MER brand would ever jeopardize a formula as tried and true as the original Creme de La ... MoreTo whomever this may help,I've always LOVED the Creme de La Mer Cream MOST!

But I'd never have imagined the Estee Lauder Company/LA MER brand would ever jeopardize a formula as tried and true as the original Creme de La Mer creme they (re)Created. WELL, THEY DID! Carefully disguised at the bottom of the box Ingredient label is "ZEA MAYS(Corn) oil"(!) They never has been CORN OIL in this formula but now they've gone Cheap on us, and are using basic Corn Oil. Well take a wide guess who's allergic to corn oil? Yep, Silly old me! Trust me, adding 'ZEA MAYS' making it seem fancier than any mass-produced, bottom bin, basic corn oil (shipped in on massive freight train cars) is a flat out lie. Yes, I'm upset because I'm badly allergic to Corn Oil, BUT I would be TOO- If I were you! I'm a decades long customer to this company, having easily paid over $65,000+ , for the 'luxury' of using their products, and if they're seriously NOT going to give any NOTICE or Heads Up(!) about their most important, I would assume BEST SELLER cream.. Then I have to hope, faith nor respect for this company I thought I loved, whom I assumed loved their customers equally. I type this so sad, but angry, I certainly GUESS NOT!
When I saw that Walmart had a La Mer product at a major reduced price...I should have known it was Too Good To Be True. Because I was diagnosed with Melanoma Skin Cancer, I have to be very careful with what I put on my skin. Because of this, I have purchased most of the La Mer skin products %26 so I am Very Aware of what is REAL %26 AUTHENTIC and what is Not...The Vendor really knows how to Mess with the customer's mind because the Box the product is in, is actually Authentic...it isn't until you open up the box that you notice it's a FAKE...If you Look at the front of the jar, You can immediately tell it is NOT the REAL La Mer by looking at the writing on the Outside of the jar....the REAL LA MER Product should ALWAYS read DE LA with a space between..The writing ... MoreWhen I saw that Walmart had a La Mer product at a major reduced price...I should have known it was Too Good To Be True.

I have heard about the benefits of this moisturizer forever.

This is unfortunately a fake jar of la mer moisturizing cream. Foolishly I purchased this in September and did not open it until this evening, as I was working my way through a jar of facial cream first. I did get this for an amazing sale price, and I can only assume that was because it is a fake. Firstly, upon opening the cellophane wrapper, the bottom of the box completely fell out, as the jar is just a smidge too big to fit in the base. The green writing on the jar came off in my hands. I looked at my hand to see green on it and though, "what is this?" to then notice that the writing on the jar had come off. Mind you, I didn't have anything on my hands- no lions, creams, etc. There also was not any paperwork in the box for the cream.

The bottom of the box also indicated to refer to the enclosures, of which there were none. I could kick myself now, as I paid far more than I would have for a non genuine la mer product (as in, a different brand). And, as I ordered this in September and it is now the end of December, I am quite sure that Walmart will not refund my money. Should you find a La mer cream on sale at Walmart, and the price seems too good to be true, and you decide to order it, make sure you open it right away! This cream also does not smell like La Mer cream. I'm so upset that I bought this!
I received a generous sample in a GWP and have saved this as one of the last to try from that box. The consistency is awful: really thick like a barrier cream. It needs to be dragged across skins to ensure coverage and absorption. I even tried heating in my hands but it didnât help. In addition, two days after using it, I started to suffer an unpleasant tightening and itching across my face, by day four this was a full on dermatitis reaction including swollen eyelids, flaking skin and severe itching. Having read a few reviews on here, it appears I am not the only one who gets a similar reaction to this cream. Itâs now in the bin. There are far, far better creams at much lower prices available
