La mer face cream what do you thing?

If you're referring to Creme de la Mer, it's definitely NOT worth the money. The list of ingredients are mostly seaweed extract, mineral oil, Vaseline, glycerin, wax-like thickening agents, plant oils, plant seeds, minerals, vitamins, more thickeners, and preservatives. Seaweed is not even scientifically proven to be ';anti-anything'; for facial care (per my old chemistry %26amp; biology professors). The Serum de la Mer is a little better in ratings, but I've never used it, and it does cost even more (about $175/oz or is it $185+ now due to inflation?). Although it does contain some good antioxidants, there are many other moisturizers with similar ingredients out on the market that cost MUCH less. Celebrities use it probably because of endorsements from the company.





For this similar price range of $150/1.7 oz., I would recommend Estee Lauder's Re-nutriv Intensive Lifting Creme. But overall, regardless of what the label says, whether it's ';lotion'; or ';creme'; or ';anti-wrinkle'; or ';anti-aging,'; keep this in mind: the more ';intensive'; the creme is, especially all the products labeled as ';anti-aging/anti-wrinkle,'; it just means it has more glycerin and water-binding agents (= thicker, more moisturizing). I purposely buy the more ';intense'; stuff during the winter months for that reason.





If you're seeking for truly intense antioxidants, you can get more for your money's worth if you buy the $90/bottle, highly-concentrated Vitamin C serum called Cellex-C. I have the highest concentration Cellex-C, combined with Donnell's Lightening Serum and exfoliating with AHA, and it works effectively on the brown spots, results from sun-damage. And forget Shiseido's Kojic Acid ';lightener'; ($120/tube %26amp; that price was 6 years ago), it doesn't work except burned my face. For Vitamin E, just buy the Vitamin E oil form from your local pharmacy ($5/bottle?) and mix it in with your nightly moisturizer. The overall best combo of antioxidant serum is Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair.





Most of all, ALWAYS be sure to look at the ingredients label: the higher the ingredient names are placed (especially if it's antioxidants placed within the first 5 or 7 listed), the higher the concentration a product contains of it. That will tell you if it's worth your money. Cosmetic companies can legally advertise Vitamin E or Vitamin C in big letters on the front of the box, but if you see it placed as the last 1 or 2 (or towards the last half) ingredient on this list, it would not do you any good anyway.La mer face cream what do you thing?
