Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream.

"La Mer helps soften the skin and helps your skin hold on to hydration, and it certainly can make your skin look better, [...] but you could achieve similar results with something that is so much more affordable. If you're someone who is saving up for your skin care or for your skin care procedures, this is not the place to invest. However, if you're someone who has a lot of disposable income and you like these products and you enjoy using them, [...] go ahead, but I don't think you can expect miracle results from these types of moisturizers."

"While it is a great moisturizer, especially if you like the feel of a richer, more enveloping cream, when I look at the ingredient list, aside from having this miracle broth, it's pretty similar to what you would see in a drugstore moisturizer. There's a lot of oils, including mineral oil. There's a lot of waxes, which are not bad ingredients by any means. They are part of a lot of richer moisturizers, but those ingredients don't really set it apart or feel special enough to warrant that steep price tag."

"It's fucking expensive. It's so expensive. Do I think it's worth the money? Not in my personal opinion. I believe there is a place for luxury skincare, and if you can afford it, use it. Enjoy yourself, pamper yourself. Do I think you can get amazing skincare for £3 or under five quid? 100%. Absolutely. People love La Mer. It's fine. I personally don't."

"La Mer for me has just never piqued an interest for me. I hear that they're average. Whilst there's only one person who could actually make me convince me to even try La Mer, even my business budget doesn't quite meet the price tags yet. I don't think I'll be investing that much into it yet. So it's still questionable whether these luxury price tags are worth it or not, subjective right, but I just hope that the healing claims are at least true or you know people do really love this brand for a reason and are buying it for a reason, because if the reviews for the eye concentrate or anything to go by, these products aren't great."

"La Mer, plain and simple, doesn't interest me at all, [...] I understand the want and need for luxury skincare, I personally don't use a lot of it, I'm not going to badmouth those who do. [...] What I will say is everybody I meet who uses it quite religiously always looks pretty flawless, but it's still not for me."

"La Mer literally has petrolatum as one of their ingredients in their amazing moisturizer. $400 for this little tiny tube of seaweed and it has petrolatum in it."

"La Mer is literally made with the same ingredients that you find in something like Nivea cream, yet costs significantly more, so it's not worth the premium price."

"The main ingredients in La Mer are petrolatum jelly, which is exactly what you find in Vaseline, a great product and good for skin but not worth five hundred dollars in my opinion. They gave it a light show and added some eucalyptus scent, and we're gonna pay big bucks for it."

"La Mer is wonderful and coveted as it is and as much as some people love it, it is ridiculously expensive. I cannot afford and I will not choose to spend 300 to 600 bucks on a tub of cream that's going to expire eventually that I need to regularly slather onto my face, especially when less expensive, just as good options exist that also have extraordinarily similar if not better seaweed options than the Crème de la Mer has. The ingredients are quite basic. Yes, there is some awesome seaweed, specifically giant sea kelp, there's some great stuff in here like panthenol and tocopheryl succinate and a whole bunch of different oils such as eucalyptus and lemon. But there's also petrolatum, this petroleum jelly that is purified, and that is the basic inexpensive, literally petroleum aka oil industry derived Vaseline. When I tell you they are making a killing on this and they are marking it up, they are making a killing on it. The problem that I have is when celebrities shove this down our throats telling us that we need it in our routines and make us feel horrible for not having it, and when we buy it it doesn't work with the expectations that we place upon it. La Mer is also not cruelty free, and that is something that I am extremely passionate about. When we have the option to not harm other beings and to still look and feel beautiful and to thrive and be healthy, why would we exploit others?"

"A lot of people love this and you know what it is? Petrolatum, your Vaseline, your Salimo Jelly, your CVS petroleum jelly. That is literally what this is. Yes, it also has some seaweed in it, but literally it's Nivea plus seaweed. And the full size is three hundred sixty dollars for sixty milliliters. It is a nice thick cream that costs way too much money. Get yourself a seaweed cream and put some cruelty-free Vaseline from Salimo on your face and you will have saved yourself three hundred dollars."

"The La Mer is going to be a regift that I silently but very kindly will pass down to someone else."

"Remember it was like Embryolisse and like La Mer used to be like the go-to moisturizers you would use under makeup back in the day. I have a theory about that. [...] The theory is there was we weren't in tune to all the other magical formulas that can work just as well, so it was like you know it took like a couple makeup artists on set to probably talk about it in a news article or [...] magazine, and then it just started to spread and then no one wanted to take that next step to find the next best thing so we all just kind of followed suit. [...] This is boring. [...] It's so thick, not everybody needs a thicker. [...] A really oily skinned client is not going to benefit from having La Mer under their makeup period. Skin prep is going to be different for everyone. [...] The idea that La Mer is King for skin prep, no it's not."

"La Mer, overpriced moisturizer but still nice and bougie. Rich, thick texture. It's like a natural skin finish, borders on being matte."

"With this product you only need a little bit, like a tiny tiny bit, so a little bit goes a long way. You can put so much more of your moisturizer on, I promise you do not have to use that tiny tiny little bit of moisturizer. If that's working for her there is nothing wrong with that, but I don't want anyone to watch this video and think that you have to be this precious with your moisturizer, especially if it's La Mer."
