"I'm not denying that La Mer is moisturizing, but this product costs a hundred dollars up to two hundred and seventy-five dollars. The ingredients have algae, mineral oil, and glycerin. Mineral oil would be seen as not natural in most people's eyes, but these are so cheap. Yes, they are moisturizing, but they're incredibly cheap. We also have petrolatum, which would be considered non-natural and toxic by many people, although it's really not. Then there are things I don't approve of in here like lime extract and eucalyptus seed oil. I would not put my money anywhere near this, especially for this price and with the perfume. La Mer is to a point where it is just ridiculous. They play music to their skincare and charge like four hundred dollars. They give all of their stuff to celebrities. They're a legacy brand owned by Estee Lauder, and they just pay so much money into marketing and celebrity endorsements because they can, because they sell their products at such a high markup."

"I've been very outspoken on my channel about how much I dislike La Mer, and it's not just because of the price point, because honestly for skincare products you can price them whatever you want if people want to pay for it. The issue I have with La Mer is the reputation it has, because everyone considers their moisturizers the holy grail, but honestly their moisturizers are primarily mineral oil, a very cheap ingredient you can find in the most affordable skincare products out there, with basic ingredients you can find in five dollar moisturizers. I'm sick of seeing La Mer as often as I do, because if you're going to spend three hundred dollars on a moisturizer I would want it to be the best of the best ingredients, and it's the complete opposite with their products, I look at the ingredient list and I'm very uninspired by it. I'm glad it hasn't broken her out, but you don't need to spend that much money on a moisturizer in order to find one that doesn't break you out."
