La Mer

Love this stuff. I haven’t had spots since a teenager I change my contraceptive to the Nexplanon implant & ba bam all of a sudden I’m a spotty ass mess. Now I look after my skin I’m crazy skincare obsessed and am on a crazy skincare regime that most people think is utterly mental but skincare to me is a passion & I love the science behind it. I usually wouldn’t go for a product such as La Mer as I prefer using products with clinically proven actives I read ingredients meticulously and go for things including stable & high potency retinoids, vitamins, peptides, acids, antioxidants etc etc but I love luxury & im a totally sucker for anything posh and love la Mer foundation & powder so had to try the skincare. I was so pleasantly surprised I’ve been using this alongside the La Mer renewal oil, regenerating serum, lifting contour serum, the lifting eye contour serum, the eye concentrate, creme de la Mer & my skin is beautifully smoothed & hydrated. I’ve had my implant out a couple of days ago & the last of my horrid spots are healing. Hooray. My skin is looking fab & I will certainly be re purchasing La Mer items.

I have mixed reviews about this product, especially as it is so pricey. Like many people I wanted to experience the hype surrounding it and so I bought it for my birthday as a treat to myself. I was assured that the creme in question would brighten up my face, get rid of any unwanted pigmentation, acne scars and even spots. So stupidly, I expected this product to be a miracle worker by rectifying years of battling acne and the scars left behind. After cleansing my face, I would apply this cream only at night as i felt it was a bit heavy and oily to apply before my make up in the morning. Though my skin was a lot smoother than before, my face did not look brighter nor did it really get rid of the pigmentation. I may have given it a better review if it was far cheaper, but for its price tag I don't recommend it. lemon and peppermint essential oil and a home made exfoliator does far more than this product. Save your coins!!!

This is great and a true gel cream for dry skin.
People are mad that this isn’t for oily skin but I don’t agree, it absorbs easily and isn’t greasy. If you have very oily skin try the soft lotion.
La mer told me this is not geared to oily skin and they did add two oils to this formula, I personally like this better than the old formula.
I think often times people don’t like something just because it’s different than the old even though they knew it was different when buying it.. they expected it to be mostly the same.
This is a thick gel that absorbs ultra quickly and leaves behind a plump but dry to the touch skin
Nothing adds moisture like this does at a deep level.
I can’t live without this and it changed my severe dry skin into normal supple skin and plumps up fine lines.
The price is steep but you barely need any and 15ml last 6 months. If you use too much you’ll not like it because this is rich as all their creams are you only want a pea size amount

La Mer is the only face cream I buy. The renewal oil is the perfect all purpose oil for face neck hands and hair. I bought my first bottle while on vacation when I forgot my creme and the only size available was the two ounce Crème.. the sales associate put two drops in my hand and I pat it ll over my face and and neck nd smoothed the remainder into my hands ..I bought two half ounce bottle size during the nordstom sale . I am on my month four of the original bottle I bought. I carry it in my purse along with my Chanel hand cream. I like how healing this oil is and how soft it leaves my skin. It has a slight citrus scent.

The La Mer Treatment Lotion Hydrating Mask was introduced in the US in mid '18 - 6 one-time masks per carton, individually sealed, priced at $150 plus tax, please see uploaded stock photo. The single sachets are convenient also for travel. Because I have been a loyal fan of the La Mer Treatment Lotion for years I was very curious to try it. Since I don't take the time to visit an external facialist, I am a regular user of at home facial masks in general and I have been liking La Mer's other mask offerings in particular.

La Mer states that they used "a full ounce of Treatment Lotion" in each of these masks and so I was prepared for an intensely hydrating experience - and from my good rating you can guess that it was.
The mask is soaking wet upon removal from its sleeve packaging, in fact I did squeeze it a bit so it wouldn't drip all over the place. The mask fabric is a substantial white absorbent material, and just at room temperature application of this mask has a very pleasant cooling effect on my skin. In the meantime I have been storing the remaining masks in my fridge and I have enjoyed an ever more noticeable cooling during the 8 minutes of enjoying its effects during subsequent uses of this mask. Especially in summer I find it very refreshing. After the recommended 8 minutes of wearing the mask my face feels deeply hydrated, plumped and comfortable. After letting the fluid dry on my face I massaged it in and followed with my serum and moisturizer to lock in the moisture. The remaining fluid in the package was enough to be used on a cotton pad the following two days in lieu of the Treatment Lotion in my regular evening routine. That fluid is a bit thicker, somewhat more viscous than the original Treatment Lotion, but on my skin it felt the same. Also, I couldn't detect any difference in smell. The mask itself only has a very faint smell, which I personally appreciate. Although I can tolerate the fragrance of the La Mer Creme in general I am not a fan of fragrance in my skin care so it's usually a plus for me when products have a neutral or no discernible smell.

I would compare this mask to the SKII Facial Treatment mask in its effect on my skin as well as the handling and appearance of the fabric. I think both masks are very high quality products, with the La Mer Treatment Hydrating Mask being more expensive at $150 plus tax for 6 masks, whereas SKII charges $95 for 6 and $135 per pack of 10. Both manufacturers use their own, distinct proprietary "magic formula" in these masks - La Mer calls theirs Miracle Broth, SKII's goes by Pitera - but the immediate effect of both masks is similar in my experience after using the La Mer mask twice and the SKII mask repeatedly over the years.

General verdict: Well done, La Mer, after a few misses of their recent reformulations (especially the cool gel cream!) and in my view, very subpar new launches (facial exfoliator!) I am very pleased with this product and will very likely continue using it, especially in the warmer months or when intense replenishment of moisture is my main objective.
