"The next is one I get asked about a lot is the La Mer 210 lb concent and for that price tag you were expecting this thing to work so this is basically a moisturizer with essential oils i.e. eucalyptus which is a skin sensitizer plus fragrance and denatured alcohol so this is another one to avoid"

"This is called the Concentrate Serum and it's 400 bucks, 400 dollars for one ounce, for 30 milliliters. We have cyclopentasiloxane, algae extract, glycerin, dimethicone, all of the basics that you would find in a good moisturizer, sesame seed oil, sweet almond oil, sunflower oil, all of this is lovely but none of this is worth 400 dollars. La Mer, it is about the marketing, it is about the brand, it is about the prestige because you want to stand there and look like some celebrity and wipe it on your face. Don't think that you need to go into debt or be pressured by some swanky sales marketing person to part with your hard-earned money for something like this. I am not buying it and that is why you will not find it anywhere in my bathroom or skincare routine. Bullshit, I call it as I see it."
