How is LA MER

As a luxury brand, the prices of many of LA MER's skin care products are prohibitive for me. So what are their skin care products like? Let’s take a look~

How is LA MER

LA MER Essence Cream

The first thing I want to talk about is the classic among classics, LA MER Essence Cream, also known as the "Magic Cream". This magical artifact, which every female celebrity owns , was so precious that when I first bought it, I couldn't bear to dig it out. I just wanted to hold it in my hands and burn it devoutly.

I was a little confused when I used it for the first time because its texture is thicker than ordinary facial cream. If you push it open directly, you will doubt your life: why is it so difficult to absorb!

In fact, the correct way to use it is to emulsify it first and then apply it on your face . Emulsification is to release the "sleeping repair energy" sealed in the opal porcelain bottle. Isn't it amazing?

I usually warm it in my palms and use the temperature to emulsify it, or add a drop of its essence oil , and then gently press it on my face after the paste becomes translucent. After use, the skin has a plump and radiant feeling.

After long-term use, I feel that its soothing and repairing functions are difficult to surpass by any other facial creams, and it can save a damaged face from disaster. The girls around me with sensitive skin or acne-prone skin have either never used LA MER cream or have always been using LA MER cream.

Why? Because once you use it, you can’t live without it !

The cream contains LA MER’s signature ingredient – ​​the magical active essence .

The so-called magical active essence refers to the deep-sea giant kelp extract. Only the first one-third of the sun-facing part is used, which is the most essential part. Combined with VC, VE, citrus oil, eucalyptus plant essence, etc., it can repair skin redness and cracks , soothe and calm, and gently nourish.

It is this awesome ingredient that makes all the face creams claiming to be “LA MER affordable alternatives” destined to be useless for the rest of their lives.

In addition to the classic version, this essence cream also has an essence cream ( Soft Cream ) and an essence gel cream ( Gel Cream ). The skin repair effect is the same, but the main difference is the texture. The essence cream is the most moisturizing, while the essence gel cream is the most refreshing.

Girls with oily skin who are not used to using facial cream can try the essence lotion (SoftLotion) which was just launched in China this summer. It has a very light texture and does not need to be emulsified before it can be absorbed like a facial cream. It is suitable for people like me who are extremely lazy.

Moreover, it feels very refreshing and is very comfortable to use in summer . No wonder even Karl Lagerfeld, who uses all the luxury brands, loves it so much!

LA MER Repair Essence

The essence is a bottle of high-performance lotion with a water-like and essence-like texture. The liquid is relatively thick, like egg white , so it is very economical to use. Generally, two or three drops are enough to apply to the entire face. It feels a bit sticky when you first apply it on your face, so you need to pat it a few times to promote absorption. It has strong moisturizing power.

After using it, I have become more and more lazy. Sometimes I am too lazy to take care of my skin after a day out. I can apply this and go to bed directly without worrying about dry skin.

If you have money, you can also use it to make a water mask (it is very economical to use anyway, one bottle can last until the end of time). Soak a cotton pad with the essence and apply it to the forehead, cheeks and chin. After 3 to 5 minutes, the skin will be as plump as if you had a full treatment in a beauty salon , and the whole face exudes a rich luster.

Due to its strong moisturizing power, it is an excellent choice whether it is used for hydrating in an air-conditioned room or for after-sun repair. It also comes in a 100ml travel size that can be taken on board an airplane, so you no longer have to worry about your face getting dehydrated on a long-haul flight.

Such powerful functions must be supported by ingredients! In addition to the magical active essence, it also contains marine revitalizing enzymes (another confusing name), which are actually marine minerals and Scenedesmus extracts.

The plant Scenedesmus grows in extremely arid deserts and can be revived on the spot with just a drop of water. Therefore, the essence's super hydrating, moisturizing and revitalizing abilities are naturally beyond doubt.

In short, this is a kind of water that you can’t live without after using it. One or two drops are enough to bring spring back to our dead wood. I have a very oily T-zone, but I don't get shiny after using this.
