What the gurus are saying

At $160, this treatment leans heavily on fragrance (lime, eucalyptus, and perfume), which may trouble anyone sensitive to scents. The texture is genuinely nice, and the marine algae plus caffeine are solid ingredients, but reviewers say cheaper alternatives deliver similar results without the fragrance load. The cost makes it tough to justify even for those who like the texture.

"This La Mer product is one hundred sixty dollars and this has so many ingredients, a lot of which are lime, eucalyptus, a whole bunch of perfume. They're saying it's a revitalizing ferment from marine algae. Marine algae is good, but get it from Bioscience and literally save yourself a hundred bucks. Obviously it's not something I'm spending my money on. I like that this has caffeine in it, but it is not going anywhere near my face."

"Essence is actually really nice it's just like all the M products it's expensive and it's overpriced right you don't have to spend that much money to get a really nice Essence for your skin"

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
